The idea of posthuman came up (yes it was me) in another thread. This article https://www.nature.com/articles/s41589-020-00711-4 opens an interesting door: "reprogramming" DNA by inserting new data into living DNA. After all a program is just another form of data. This might be orthogonal to genetic (re)engineering.
