I saw this documentary on the Discovery Channel recently called The Real Superhumans, which explores the notion that superhumans do exist among us. It tells the stories of 4 fascinating individuals who possess special talents and abilities, among whom, a blind man who sees and understands perfect perspectives, a man who survives sub-zero conditions longer than anyone can, a super human calculator and a woman who could see and taste music. It further suggests that these talents are hidden within us, and only reveal themselves among certain genetic oddities such as the individuals above, but advancement in modern genetics could one day make these talents freely accessible to anyone who wants them. I just wonder, what good does unlocking a pao gene do?
