The former approached genetic editing technology with an incredibly incredible ambition: to create a generation of superheroes.

Recently, a young doctor, a former NASA expert, shared his ambition to create a "superman" generation with genetic modification technology.

Specifically, Dr. Josiah Zayner said that he could help people "edit the genome" themselves, thereby creating a next generation with all the outstanding traits. Zayner even edited his own genome.

Dr. Josiah Zayner - a former NASA expert who is ambitious to edit human genes to create a superman generation.

"We are like the slave of the existing genome, while being able to create a whole new generation of" superhuman "people," Zayner said. We can choose the right genes for the body: muscle gene, 6-zone gene, disease-free gene . And most importantly, you can completely edit your own genome.

"I imagine people coming to a place like a tattoo shop, but instead of tattooing, they choose DNA to increase muscle, or change hair color, eye color."

" The DNA code is what determines what we look like, and I think it won't be long for humans to turn into completely new creatures, thanks to genetic modification technology."

According to Zayner, humans have actually started editing genes for a long time."It seems like science fiction, but science has edited human genes as a treatment since the 1990s. Only a few people have been tried, and the goal is purely to serve medicine."

We can cut a very small piece in the DNA of the DNA, and replace the modified DNA.

It is known that Dr. Zayner collaborated with the NASA Biological Institute to create a generation of bacteria that could help develop life on Mars. However, after that, he left to start researching human genetic modification technology.

As noted, the technology Zayner pursues relates to the highest accuracy available today. It uses a number of special enzymes to cut DNA down, then modify it according to human wishes.

In November, Zayner once livestream a video of his self-injecting muscle DNA into his left hand. However, as noted, no phenomenon has occurred yet. Zayner said that animal experiments often take 4 to 6 months to produce results.

However, Zayner's research still needs FDA approval. According to FDA-issued documents, the trade of genetic editing tools may be considered against current US law.
