You know what sucks? That like a few decades from now, everyone will just assume consciousness affects DNA. But right now, we are having trouble even defining it.
I know of some things that are coming, but it isn't out now like CRISPR.
I believe that hundreds of self taught "biologists" are going to be CRISPERing bugz and bacteria, and our understanding will increase a hundred fold. (the may not be called biologists in the future)
We have enough psychics that can see auras. But that isn't enough to move skeptics, especially those who do not want to be moved.
I really hope the bio-photon cameras will be on the market soon. Then, we will at least have something, and medical tech will increase a hundred fold too.
