#4 Tip of the iceberg. Genetics is in for a great century, so long as ObamaCare (RomneyCare?) doesn't smother it in the crib.

#5 Genetics will be the next huge thing. The power of unlocking our own genes and controlling our own evolution is huge.

However, with great power comes great responsibility and there will be people and nations that abuse it. While being able to construct the face of the rapist from the semen collected from the victim is great, it could also be used to weed out undesirables as well. Just imagine if the Nazis could make a genetic virus that would wipe out all those they thought were sub-human.
All very possible with this technology.
