Thank you to DNA and robotic engineering, we will have created incredibly intelligent humans who are immortal, the Likelihood’s 9/10. It is more likely that direct brain links using electronics will achieve this, but GM will help a lot by increasing longevity - keeping people alive until electronic immortality technology is freely available at reasonable cost. The idea that breakthroughs in the field of genetics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence will expand human intelligence and allow our species to essentially defeat death is sometimes called the Singularity. It’s just amazing to think about if you do. All the stuff going on.
