In my opinion, this should not occur because it will make everyone fake and set up to be perfect. As of now, a gene-editing technology named CRISPR is being used to cure and lessen the chance of diseases. Someday, our future could be portrayed like the one in the movie Gattaca because it does not seem impossible.
