Distant future offsprings

Distant future offsprings

What future awaits us in 200 years? Clean energy, the resolution of all environmental problems, medicine beyond our wildest dreams, and the exploration of distant space? What if your descendants, whether as clones or through DNA recombination with another species, could be a part of this?

Today, synthesizing DNA from a computer record is still an unattainable technology. Even after achieving this, several other currently unsolvable problems would arise. But would these remain issues in two centuries? What if your descendants could participate in exploring the frontiers of current knowledge and possibly serve as a delegation for humanity as a whole?

What if the future is darker and the DNA of contemporary humans degrades? Whether due to interventions in genetic manipulation or new, more aggressive chemicals, irreversible damage could occur. In such a case, backups from the past could be valuable, serving as templates to resurrect people from the old world.

Or perhaps the future will be a dreamed-of utopia. Just without us. Your country might be destroyed by an unexpected catastrophe or war that we won't survive. Could your genetic code of a 21st-century human serve as a backup of your ethnic group?
