How do you even police that?
Why would you even want to? People swap gut flora by accident all the time. If we get to a point where people are using GM bacterial implants to do stuff nobody else is doing we might have a problem, but just picking and choosing among wild strains seems as innocuous as having a favourite cheese.

I couldn't read all of that article because she was like what if like I were to like go out tomorrow for like 2 hours...
It's an interesting concept really. Faecal implants have already been used by the obese to dramatically change their physiology by implanting faeces into the gut from someone who is naturally skinny. Does this mean an already lean athlete struggling to get rid of that last bit of body fat without resorting to the likes of cortisol etc could implant from someone who is naturally shredded and get a gain? How do you even police that? Gut bacterial passport?
