The science to "Rewrite genetic codes" is possible in Bioshock, to give you the ability to blast electricity or fire from your hands.
Do you think it'll be possible in the next 100 or so years?
I think it will, but it will to be to the extent of manipulation of the elements, not creation.

Sure, then why not a real Rapture.

Would be awesome, but the military would have it, not us.

This is not a debate topic.
Debating about the infinite amount of things that COULD QUITE POSSIBLY HAPPEN in the near future is pointless.

No.

I don't see any reason why we'd be able to do this with genetic engineering. If it would ever happen it would happen with robotics and nanobots.

Yo stop, step back, and see how ridicolous this is. Blasting electricity from your hand, blasting FIRE out of your hand. Seriously, how could it possibly happen?

It would be great, even if it was possible the military would choose to keep it hidden from us, simple pleasants.

Technically, for fire, you could make the human body produce chemicals that when combined, and then subsequently combined with oxygen, produce fire. Store it in sacs near the hands, and then just shoot it like spiderman.

<.<

electricity could be easily done with robotics.

But that ain't natural, that involves robotics and biochemicals.

people said it was impossible to fly <.<

To make electricity shoot from your hands, you would just need to find a way to make the electrons move faster in a concentrated form. And I believe you can make other things come out of your hands.

This seems like a useless subject, mostly for the reasons nodd listed. It's kind of hard to debate how you think something potentially can happen, especially if it's something that's currently not feasible, scientifically.

Possible through diseases, yah.

People would never get the OK to start trying this sort of genetic experiments.
