A lot of people are going to be hotter.
I offer a rebuttal: plastic surgery exists and is a hell of a lot cheaper than genetic engineering is, and I wouldn’t say people are hotter. The rich ones, 1000%. Your every day people, probably not.
This is mostly cultural. In colombia, they have a saying “the only ugly woman is a poor woman.”
