Lotsa stuff that ends in failure provides helpful info for various future endeavors. I think it's cool that they're doing it. It sounds like an interesting experience for those involved and it may prove to be an effective tool. But maybe I just like feedback loops.
On second thought, I'd rather make a judgment based on very little or no data. It's never gonna work.
why not change more than one parameter at a time, e.g. cell-replacement rate along with eye-color pigment, etc., and throw in a cell-death timer blocker to boot. Would you like to try our combo today? You'll get increased longevity along with your choice of new eye color for only $x more!
In his "Cosmic Trigger" trilogy, Robert Anton Wilson discusses how info doubles with ever-increasing frequency, and that as more info is exchanged, more chaos occurs, and thus more change occurs. I don't know if any of this accelerated exchange of info will result in a higher literacy rate (speculation, anyone?), but if it does, then Buckminster Fuller would tell you that as a result, food production will increase... We may have no idea what we've begun...
