The world's first genetically enhanced humans are already here.

The world's first genetically enhanced humans are already here. Alternatively you could call them the first true Transhumans or one may go as far as to call them proto-beings for Homo sapiens consectetur.

There are at least 2 humans who have enhanced their Genome via gene therapy

Brian Hanley founder of Butterfly Sciences injected the GHRH plasmid gene to increase Growth hormone–releasing hormone levels.

Results: Increased GHRH levels.

Elizabeth Parrish CEO of Bioviva injected a gene that acts as a myostatin inhibitor and another that acts as a Telomerase reverse transcriptase inducer.

Results: SpectraCell Laboratories indicated that her leukocyte telomeres had lengthened by approximately 20 years, from 6.71kb to 7.33kb. MRI scans taken before and after depict a slight increase in muscle size in conjunction with a noticeable reduction in muscle fat content. C-Reactive Protein, a potent marker of systemic inflammation, was notably decreased from 1.6 mg/dL to <0.2 mg/dL
