Hmm, no wonder people don't build nuclear anymore, with all the safety requirement it becomes too expensive.

It's possible, but I am not sure if that is the future we want. Imagine the main nuclear nations suddenly have this ability, I would bet a full scale war would break immediately once any of the nations have such an ability to fully intercept nuclear weapons. Even worse, if it's one sided then it means one country will start nuking their enemies without any repercussion. The only reason cold war didn't turn into WW3 in the 60s and 70s is because MAD.

Everyday we come one step close to a cyberpunk world, soon factories would chop up your hands to replace them with working prosthetics

I mean, most of the world uses some sort of standardized test which correlates strongly to IQ and moderately to social-economic background to filter people going into higher education, and thus impacting their career outcomes, is that really that different?

I can't help but remember the Chinese dude that Crispr edited a baby's gene to cure HIV(or rather to prevent HIV), I think he was just released not long ago after serving 3 years in prison.
