If a robust and cheap genetic engineering industry existed, would you have your genes edited? If so, what genetic changes would you choose to make? If not, why not?

My Answer: I would give it a go, but only something small which wouldn’t be catastrophic if it went wrong. Something like thicker hair or being a bit taller etc. So, enhancement instead of changes.

A Friend’s Answer: No, I’m practically perfect in every way already! (Demi)

My Answer: Erm, now this is a difficult one. I have insecurities as much as anyone, but I have accepted those insecurities and understand it is normal so given the opportunity I am not sure if I would change them because it is what makes me, me if you know what I mean. If anything, possibly being a little bit taller wouldn’t be a bad thing.

A Friend’s Answer: I would make myself a bit taller. (Faye)
