Or a bag of shit. I'm betting on the shit, as it's already occurred in nature 108 billion times.

Okay, let me see if my mind can wrap around the significance of your astoundingly insightful sentence. Within ten years, according to your timeframe... right? Thus far thus good.... We.... Meaning human shitbags, can genetically engineer a really smart shitbag.....
Yeah, that's way above my pay grade Hex....

Always good to see homophobia flourishing in your minds, and on the forum, boys.

And on what relevant data do you base this assertion?

Our ability to manipulate gene sequences has become better, we can make children with 3 parents, if the genes are corrupt, it can be replaced with a donor's.
It's just a matter of time before we replace certain sequences with that of geniuses, so we have designer babies.
Often that of being too intelligent in some areas will cost on the scale, so you end up being retarded in others, but super savants has no such bad sides.

SO many misconceptions so little time.
The 3 parent "frankenstein' as put out by the press is nothing of the kind. You might want to read and try to understand with more care next time.
