you'll be dead before they're able to do this on adults, I guarantee you. Its not even a case of "they will do this eventually" its actually a case of "is this even possible?"

editing genes in the germ line is one thing, doing it on a fully grown human that has been shaped not only by genetic information but by the very ENVIRONMENT is another thing.

this is a similar boat to anti-aging nonsense - great we can lengthen the telomeres. Okay but how to you reverse 50+ years of oxidative stress and dna damage? Can you even?

Yes. If you can think about it, it is possible, given enough resources. Dualism is a meme, there is no difference between what you can think and what you can observe.

not really
bioprinting is the name of the game, you don't just inject cells into the body and let them magically make the person handsome (doesn't even work because growth has already stopped), you grow skin, bones or muscle with matching immune profile and use ultra-regenerative cells or whatever treatment to make them heal up like new when implanted into the patient

like we know we can get somewhere with bioprinting, all we really need to so is to print good skin and good bones that we can meld to the face and that's like 90% of facial looks. In some people the bone structure is very warped from ideal though, so it might require a very comprehensive surgery.

We know human brains exist, so there can't be any laws of physics preventing human level intelligences from existing. Are you saying that there are things that can exist, but are somehow impossible to understand or engineer?
>there is no guarantee (or even high likelihood) that it would become some enlightened intelligence.
An AI doesn't need to be "enlightened" in order to take your job. It just needs to be better than humans at some economic task. There are already AIs that can preform intellectual and creative tasks like writing music, proving mathematical theorems, doing scientific research, etc. What sorts of things do you think are impossible to automate?

But it can. Imagine if when life had first formed on earth, a volcano erupted and buried it in lava, killing all life on earth. Earth would most likely be a barren planet today.
