Human Gene Splicing An aspect of the future I chose was human gene splicing. I got the idea while watching reruns of Batman Beyond with my daughter. In my future scenario, human beings would be able to directly manipulate their genomes through biotechnology, and combine them with other species of animals to alter, enhance and add abilities and traits they do not currently have. In this scenario, human beings would have greater strength and vastly superior senses through the combination of their
