  • Update 2025-09-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - "Seeing in complete darkness" includes cases where vision is enabled by:

    • Genetic changes enabling extreme low-light or infrared sensitivity.

    • Genetic changes enabling bioluminescence, allowing the person to see by light they produce themselves.

Strictly speaking, that's an oxymoron and irrelevant to genetics. Are you referring to low-light or infrared vision instead?

@EliG What I had in mind was whether humans might one day be modified not just for extreme low-light or infrared sensitivity, but potentially to generate their own light (like bioluminescent creatures) to illuminate their surroundings. That way, “seeing in darkness” could mean carrying the light source within the body itself.
