How long a time is needed for genetic changes to take hold? Some of us have already had the wonderful experience of having our genes altered. The gene altering disease is known as asthma. One major gene controlling lung functions is mutated 40%, while 40 other genes are only slightly altered 5% each. Its like watching the movie tron actually. Flynn forgets who he is in transport to the game's surface. Over the peroid of six to eight months the transformation is completed. I couldn't sleep, or care for myself, and lost all of my energy. I can't stop myself from over eating or becoming lathargic. It's like running against the wind trying to get some sleep. I don't expect any miracles to happen when doctors begin gene therapy. It takes many more years to get to know the new you. And of course the master controller is already trying to kill all users that are defeated in battle by teaching them inferior survival skills. etc...have a good night, sleep tight...
