My experience is that for me, the gut always signals a negative, no, or don’t feeling, it will never signal a good or do it feeling. I figured that out by trial and error.
In other words I used to confuse some things for a good gut feeling when in the end it was the wrong decision, I had to learn it’s always a negative gut feeling no matter what I thought it was saying.

However, you do have to fear an invisible enemy that is just now biding its time and against which there is little that can be done. Few have noticed that the per-generation mutation rate in human is increasing. The mutation rate is so high in some DNA regions that researchers are totally baffled. See, those are mutations that occur independently in several different individuals, therefore it is not due to natural selection. The unknown cause of this high rate of genomic mutation has been nicknamed "Blue Dawn", and it is still unknown what causes it.
That is what you should be afraid of. Becoming another species is always unsettling.
Was I a little pushy there? Sorry...

I'm sure every body comes with a unique soul, I'm not sure it isn't swapped along the way...
By 2050 genetic manipulation technologies – at least the most basic ones – will have been simplified and standardized to such an extent that some will decide to turn them into a hobby. We are talking about people in some megacities without particular academic qualifications – sometimes university students of biotechnologies – who, alone or in small groups, will modify simple forms of life, perhaps cultivating the dream of sooner or later starting a business. There will be a transition from cyberpunk to biopunk.
