There are many advances taking place in the field of genetics, more precisely, gene therapy. I am fairly confident that everybody here has a basic understanding of what gene therapy is. I had a few questions when it comes to gene therapy. First, How far along are we in this field? Second, will we reach a point where we can transform ourselves a la E.O wilsons shape shifting man? I would like to see in the very near future, a man getting an injection and in a matter of days he goes from being 5'9" to 6'3". Or a man being 300 pounds, gets an injection, and in a matter of days shrinks down to 160 pounds, changing your race, your facial features etc. etc. etc. Third, is this aforementioned scenario scientifically possible? I would imagine it is possible and in our near future. I would love to hear from all the experts on this topic. Thank you. Advertising link removed by Moderator
