The new area of editing and hacking !

Hi friends,

Yet another fascinating subject relates to the tinkering of one's own genome !

Genome engineering, or biohacking or gene hacking !

Yes, techniques to make precise and targeted changes to one's DNA, in order to achieve specific objectives, mainly to cure certain ailments, are getting more refined.

As usual, ethical issues will come up, but then, are these voluntary "self'-modification" procedures significantly dissimilar to trying out newer and newer drugs , with due approvals, to improve outcomes of treatment ?
