Question

Is it possible for us to change our DNA on purpose to have traits that would give us an advantage over other people?

Answer 1

While there have been advancements in genetic engineering technologies such as CRISPR, changing one's DNA on purpose to enhance certain traits that would give them an advantage over others is not currently feasible or ethical. The technology is still in its early stages and there are many ethical concerns surrounding the modification of human DNA for non-medical purposes. Additionally, modifying DNA in this way could have unforeseen consequences and could potentially lead to unintended negative outcomes. As of now, altering one's DNA for competitive advantage is not a viable option.
