You can to a degree, after that point it needs to be artificially induced. I'd love that.

How far will some people alter themselves or their offspring before we loose who we really are? Isn't that dangerous? I can understand engineering out genes that cause many diseases but doing so to add strength, intellect, or non human features such as glowing in the dark or six fingers or a tail isn't right.

It would be cool yes, but there should be discipline when doing such things to ourselves.

What's so great about who we really are that you want to keep it?

Why isn't that right?
