Being able to read body language would be nice, but I doubt it will work on adults.

We don't even know if it will work in humans yet. They've only done tests on mice so far, but the gist of it is that they identified a particular protein and a gene responsible for its production. The gene therapy causes more of the protein to be produced which resulted in behavioral changes in the mice. How that plays out with humans is an open question.

I have a feeling I know how it is going to play out with western liberals, though (especially right-wing chuds and anti-vaxx groups): "Ebil CCPP spreading autism via vaccination confirmed!!!"
