More Human Than Human

I don't know how much of this is hyperbole and how much is actually yikes-worthy:

It is not clear how far Chinese military researchers have gone. They are, however, advocating use of the CRISPR gene-editing tool to enhance human capabilities, and the Communist Party's Central Military Commission is "supporting research in human performance enhancement and 'new concept' biotechnology."

I mean, maybe they just want people for an exciting new life in the off-world colonies?
