Science fiction often uses genome editing to explore the boundaries of human existence. It might show how genome editing could be used to extend human lifespan to hundreds of years. Writers depict scenarios where people can choose the traits of their unborn children with genome editing, leading to a world where beauty, talent, and intelligence are all 'designed'. This raises questions about what it means to be human. Are we still the same species if we can customize our genetics? It also delves into the idea of playing God, which is a common theme when it comes to genome editing in science fiction.

A great example in science fiction literature is Greg Bear's 'Darwin's Radio'. In this story, a form of genome editing occurs spontaneously in the human population, leading to the birth of a new kind of human. It delves into the implications of such a sudden genetic change, both in terms of the individuals born with it and society as a whole. Another example could be the 'Jurassic Park' franchise. While it's mainly about resurrecting dinosaurs through genetic manipulation (which is related to genome editing), it also shows the chaos that can result when we play with genetics without fully understanding the consequences.

I really am a necromancer

After transmigrating to the Sorcerers World, Yihua became a Level 1 Necromancer Apprentice with extremely poor aptitude. He had thought that it would be the beginning of hell, but he did not expect that he would be able to obtain merit from punishing evil and helping others. Doing bad things would not deduct merit points, but doing good things would definitely be rewarded! As long as he did 100 million good deeds every day and accumulated merit and karma, he could speed up his cultivation progress and even directly break through! Even the lowest-level acolyte cantrip, Light Treatment, would have terrifying power if it was broken through endlessly. " However, why is there something wrong with the phototherapy technique after the breakthrough?" He watched as the entire world's people were illuminated by the advanced version of the light therapy spell, the world-class Great Holy Light Spell. The sinful people wept bitterly and committed suicide one after another, while the kind people knelt on the ground in gratitude and swore to follow him to the death. Feeling the increasing merit points, Yi Hua took over the rule of this world with the Holy Light Undead Army that was loyal to her and muttered in her heart," " I'm clearly a necromancer who plays with souls and does all kinds of evil. How did I become the savior in the eyes of several worlds?" ------ Elements included: Undead, Strange, Farming, Holy Light Undead, Power Management, Cthulhu, Melee Sorcerers, Sorcerer Civilization, World War.
