2.A. As creepy as awesome genetic engineering technology is, scientists say that in the future, humans will be strong and invincible like superheroes from Marvel. They claim that if we replace 10% of our biological red blood cells with artificial versions, we could sit at the bottom of a lake for several hours, as well as do Olympic sprints for over 10 minutes, without taking a breath.
