    No, because we don’t understand all that well how DNA affects intelligence. And we don’t know what side effects that could have, because these systems are all connected. You think you are modifying an intelligence gene, but then under the right conditions, this gene is expressed differently and is now producing prions. We can’t even quantify intelligence in the first place. There are just too many risks.
