What do you think are some of the possible consequences of gene therapy in the future?

It can be a good thing. The problem is that genetically engineered people will have to know they are someone else. The upside is many people will be cured of terrible diseases such as cancer and MS etc.

well, if people are changing their genes, eventually they will figure out a way to make everything perfect, immunity to all diseases, no physical defects, maybe even extra apendages, like wings
