SUMMARY - Biotechnology and Human Enhancement

A child born with a genetic mutation causing progressive blindness receives gene therapy that restores functional vision, correcting what nature got wrong. The same technology could theoretically enhance normal vision beyond human baseline, creating sight capabilities no unmodified human possesses. A patient with severe depression unresponsive to all treatments receives a brain implant that modulates neural circuits, restoring normal mood regulation.
