No, genetic engineering will advance that far, but it will not be widespread enough to affect broader culture (even in only developed nations)
By 2050, will advances in genetic engineering and phenotypical modification become such that categories of race and gender/sex become obsolete in advanced nations due to characteristics associated with race and sex/gender presentation becoming malleable?
This is not necessarily asking if distinct "races" or "genders" will no longer exist, but rather if forms of "Othering" based on these categories become irrelevant (i.e. skin color differences no longer becoming a dividing factor, if humans are able to pick and choose to determine the skin color of their children, so that they are no longer biologically predetermined)
