| You can't just "modify" all the DNA in a person's body. It doesn't work like that. |

| easier said than done......well for one thing DNA is very complicated. DNA is like reading every book ever written and looking for a specific sentence to change. And if you do find that sentence it may take years of research to find out what changing that sentence might do and all the possible problems and outcomes. I hope I could help. |
