Yes, a synthetic human if you will.  Geneticists have already read the human genome but now they want to re-write it.  That is, synthetic genetic information, the entire library of genes called the human genome, would be implanted inside a living cell in the first step toward creating a human being without a biological father or mother.

Now the presumption is humans were created via random selection of genetically determined traits over many millions of years and that this process could be bested by an effort to design a human rather than leave it to evolutionary chance.  In other words, man would take over evolution and control it. 

Inexplicably, Darwinian evolution posits slow changes over many millions of years produced by gene mutations whereas what geneticists have in mind would be to eliminate those mutations.

Will geneticists take humanity into a brave new world that either becomes a waste of time and money, produces a number of Frankensteins before it can produce an Einstein, or just maybe create a super human?
