The Human Genome Project

Ever played Metal Gear Solid? Some character in the game, especially Snake are genetically enhanced soldiers of the Human Genome Project. Strength, Speed, Agility and heightened senses are just few of the things that could happen if we were able to control and modified our genetics.
