I really doubt that software engineers would do this job. Yeah, we can help build programs/simulations that can make modifying DNK a bit easier for the bioengineers (I guess) but that would be it.
On the other hand, this position would be so responsible that many people (me included) will just move past and do something else, because, you know, some human beings' life would depend on the changes you did to his DNK.
Btw, I don't really see what this (ridiculous) user story and Indian QA companies are doing in the same post mentioning CRISPR at the beginning, I guess that I don't have much sense of humor, but I've found this a bit distasteful...
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.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
