It will probably only cost a few thousand dollars in the next 2 decades. Biotech is a lot cheaper than people think.

I would be more worried about Asia not Africa, the africans might make their kids lighter (not mixed) but the asians will have blonde haired blue eyed children

I feel like gene editing should only be allowed for medical reasons such diseases, handicaps etc. Not for aesthetic reasons, changing people's ethnic-phenotypes is unnatural and unethical. Also as the person above me said it will definitely be Asians not Africans.

It's the next obvious step for everyone towards a cyberpunk future. Transracialism is the future.

We already have and its already been prophesied that people will be doing this and genetically/cosmetically modifying themselves as they wish in the future.
We already live it with transgenderism and cosmetic surgeries
