Agreed on everything up to the last sentence, but I would also be one to say that we should mandate vaccines and not allow bullshit objections to override public health for all.<p>I am not a geneticist, and I imagine the state of the art of CRISPR wouldnt even be close to something like this now, but couldnt conceptually someone create an environment in their body that causes problems with unengineered people? (and then call into question whether bioengineering yourself is actually something we should protect)<p>For instance, comparing what is effectively &quot;natural engineering&quot; of people&#x27;s immune systems living in cities and close proximity decimating native populations by bringing their diseases to the new world. Their resistance allowed them to breed a whole new set of horrible things.
