Fame is a very confusing thing, because you are recognized by a lot of people that you've never seen before, and they're at a great advantage.
I've always been attracted to cars, and driving is a completely measurable experience: if you qualify last on the grid, you're the slowest, and if you qualify first on the grid, you're the fastest. So no one can say you're slow if you're fast and no one can say you're fast if you're slow.
I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.
