You may be interested in this 2021 WSJ article: “A Technology Race to Stop the Mass Killing of Baby Chicks: An estimated six billion newly hatched male chicks are killed world-wide each year. New technologies are being developed to stop that.”
I know George Church is a big name in bio/genetics who seems to have interests in transhumanism.
Another WSJ article just weeks ago: “Scientists at DeepMind and Meta Press Fusion of AI, Biology”.
I would think bio is a great thing to go into! However, I’d guess your point (4) has significant truth to it. If you do bio, I’d make sure you still learn your math! Math is the language of science. I think there are a lot of people that major in bio and get a kind of “soft” pre-med style bio education which is mostly memorizing stuff. I would see if you can do like a computational bio major or double major with math, applied-math, stats, or CS. I’d try to take several courses in probability/statistics/machine learning.
