Totally agree. It’s not just trustworthiness though- it’s insidious tribal traits like looks, race, gender/sex, intelligence, height, built- ie things you can’t control. The only way we’re going to get around this in society is genetic modifications, and not just before birth. People need to have full free choice to change all of the above.

That won't work. It'll just turn into who has the most money can afford the best genetic modifications.

Probably initially, but genetic manipulation can be cheap. Think viruses doing recombinant replacement. Could be out of peoples garages in the near future.
