### What I described is a eugenic application, which could be used to
improve a couple's child starting with a zygote, or to produce an upgraded
clone for somebody who wants to get cloned, starting from a skin sample.
Applied to stem cells this general technology could perhaps be also used to
incrementally improve a person throughout his/her life, but this is more
speculative.
