Extreme Genetic Engineering: Future Market for Identity & Aesthetic Customization
A user explicitly seeking universities for 'genetic engineering in vivo' to permanently alter 'hair, eyebrows, eyelashes texture, state and color and eyes color,' as well as 'overall phenotypes and facial features and biological sex,' represents a radical vision for future human enhancement. While highly speculative and ethically complex, this desire points to a potential 'next big thing' in personalized aesthetics and identity customization via advanced biotechnologies, including nanotech tools. This indicates a nascent, albeit controversial, market for extreme personalization. Opportunities (long-term and ethical considerations paramount) could lie in foundational research, ethical frameworks for human genetic modification, or even speculative design exploring the societal implications. Businesses might eventually emerge in highly regulated 'aesthetic gene editing' clinics or advanced biomaterial development if such technologies become feasible and acceptable.
