Well if it is a "nice read" why only 2*?Because it is JUST a nice read. The book tried to take on some serious issues concerning genetic modification, and well, failed. Because quite a few things mentioned here we know are not possible, even today (you can not modify your genetic code "on the fly"). Also if you have a genetic "glitch" in your code, it can be fixed in the next generation, so I really do not see the problem (especially if it had cropped up in about 700 cases of a few billion). And you do have the original code on hand (see "space travelers who have no enhancements). Besides if some enhancements have gone bad, it does not mean that the principle was bad...But all this is too much discussion for a book that is trying to be SF, but is F really, and does not take itself very seriously.
