I assume that you're describing your post-uploading experiences...
You're not, ugh, thinking of doing that in the flesh, are you?
Gross! What a waste of resources.

Yes, not only those "unacceptable risks" but today you have to
put up with crowding.
When you say, "That will almost certainly change", are you
speaking about the profound problem of how you are going to
deal with your "inborn affinity for thriving in nature"?
After you can edit your inborn affinities, which one are
you going to keep, and why?
