The reason I allude to programmers is because essentially that's what would be happening. You're quite right, the current generation of programmers would not likely fit this role. However, if we look at a lot of near-future sci-fi, the idea of programming human implants and genes by hackers is not uncommon.

Medical researches will likely take on this role. Which could be as scary, if not scarier. They don't exactly have open and well defined processes.

To your second note, I also fear that reasonable people will pass on the position. That would leave a second class of people willing to do the position. But we really need the reasonable people working in this area.

Black humour is my way of dealing with harsh subjects.
