    Me now no on implants.

    But on self editing genes if I was born 100 years from now & there was 80 years of research on this. Then I'd give it a think.

    Don't forget to take tons of selfies and upload every morsel and snippet of your transformation to ShapChat and Youtube. Oh yeah, and that "Face"book place would go stark raving nuts, a literal gold mine.

    If you're talking to me those won't be around in 100 years.

    There will be some other opiate of the masses by then.

    I realize this is an old discussion but I find it an interesting one. I'd have to assume that as things like this happen that antivirus software would have to become part of healthcare. Firewalls also. Ransomware would be unthinkable. But it would happen. :eek:
