If genetic engineering is an altering of genes, isn't it possible that sometime 
in the fture, and if genetic engineering wins wider-spread approval, one can 
change their biological sex by replacing an X chromosome with a Y or vice-versa 
(eg someone such as a transsexual who could opt for sexual reassignment 
surgery)?
