epigenetics

[Stella_Omega]

It wouldn't, really...but you could do things like make everyone fair skinned (by turning off melanin production in skin), or certain hair/eye colors that only require similar actions. You could make all sorts of small adjustments to people, just to make them closer resemble your "ideal"

Hmm. One nice benefit is that you could make everyone an O- blood type.

well... Micheal Jackson, for instance, could have turned his skin light. But his hair follicles were already formed, so he couldn't make his hair grow straight. Ditto the lips, and he still would have fucked with his nose until it fell off his face.

Oh yah, once someone was born you'd be much more limited in your ability to make little adjustments like those. However in a breeding program...*shudder* Although perhaps if you made certain genetic adjustments, temporary-type plastic surgery changes would not revert?

still, as leery as i am with epigenetics, I like the potential it has for medical treatments. Or even transgender individuals. I know my brother would love to be able to forgo all the hormone therapy and just have his body make more testosterone all on its own.

Oooooo I wonder if you could turn off allergies...man that would be FANTASTIC.

*shudders* That one really scares me.

Yeah, me too. Plus, I worry about a world where it's expected that you're altered to be 'perfect'. I remember watching a movie like that, once.

Things like that are what interests me. A chance to ENSURE my children don't inherit my crohns disease. Hell, yeah.

Are we talking futanari, or what?

I'm not sure. what's futanari?

all this gene stuff sounds really fucked up to me. I appreciate that it could have a role in treating disease, but the words 'slippery slope' spring to mind.

A product of Japanese adult comics: girls that have ejaculating penises (either in place of, or that grow out of) their clits....But, they're otherwise 100% female.
Googling the term should prove revealing.

that does sound a lot like me.

A likely story.

But I guess I won't find out since you "won't cyber with me."

Some of us do live in that world-- Hollywood.

Ok, to all you fearful. What about the bigger dick gene? You know you're into it.

 

[teknight]

I can be a huge dick without enhancements, thanks.

I strongly disapprove of people messing with a bigger dick gene. Not that people with leetle microphalluses couldn't use it, but I can just see it leading to bigger and BIGGER and bigger penises...and at a certain point you reach an incompatibility with whatever your penis receptacle of choice is.

Slippery. Slippery. Slope.

How little you understand the male psyche. A big penis wouldn't be for the ladies, it's for the bearer and other dudes.

How well you understand your fellow men!

There isn't much to it. I swear. It's...annoying.

Thats where the 10 foot blue hominid cats come in.

Duh

I'm aware that that would be the purpose of the massive penis. I am objecting as a lady (erm. well a female at least ) who would have to put up with this nonsense.

Might it be noted that at one point it was more fashionable to have a average to small sized phallus and a large phallus was beast-like and not to be carried by Man in his Superior Grandeur over crude unrespectable animals!!! Who knows, maybe fashion will swing back...and then all you louts will be stuck with horse penises!!!

OHHHHHH IIIIIII See...my bad.

Do the 10 ft. blue hominid cats even have vaginas? or anuses for that matter.

*muse*

How do the Nav'i void their waste?

Oh my god, everything makes so much sense now. I always wondered why statues have such tiny dicks.

When did I get a horse penis?! I'm good with the fox tail, thanks.

well you can already do that with freakish results. there was a C4 documentary about it. I tried to find pics but couldn''t. I found this rather cool gif thingie though... http://i47.tinypic.com/2iw0ym1.gif

one area I'd like some genetic enhancement, is if I can have my concentration tweaked. I can see it being a blessing for things like dementia as well

and what\s with the blue cats?

Figured that in light of the previous discussion, this'd fit.

Okay I'm done squinting. Tek, what beer is the woman in your avatar holding?

 

[teknight]

Let me find the original pic...and I might be able to tell you....
