The genome thing sounds like a quantitative progression vs the quantum leap of reanimation of the dead.

Another question haunts me: It's a real gamble for the customers. What if it does one day work but they wake up as lab specimens in some AI run nightmare? Or any other not so friendly scenario. One can't assume the current sociopolitical conditions are going to be around forever.

Reanimation might look like a quantitive progression after it's been achieved too.

I'm stressed enough living in this world and I grew up here. I'm OK living my life, calling it a day and letting future people deal with the future. Imagine being from 1510 and waking up today in 2023. We think today is OK. They might (!) find it difficult to adapt.
