I do believe the next "enhancement" to human athletics will end up with gene doping. And with experiments successful like this, gene doping for humans isn't far away.

    I would agree with you. As time goes by it is also another reason to stay away from genetically modified food. We may not recognize existing foods in 50 years.

    There's a big difference between injecting genetic material into embryos and consuming food (all food we eat, plant or animal, contains DNA.........):huh: :huh:

    Would you like your baby's eyes to be brown, blue, green, or neon?

    Also, they've been doing this to fish for a while now.

    I would hazard a guess that genetically modified people being "right around the corner" would be 50 to 150 years from now for selective things like eye color or whatnot. However, we're already doing gene therapy in some instances.
