Hmm.. I don't think the amount of people in the world who'd like an eye color enhancer (not necessarily change color from one to another, but make to it stand out more - think striking blue, green, brown) would be far behind the number of people who'd want to grow more hair.. And the latter group would be men only. But just a thought, let the Creator (of subliminals) do as he sees fit
Changing eye color is an important thing, as it would be a technique that would doubtless allow me to do other things as well. You can't just focus on the obvious at-its-face-value mass market stuff if you're going big. What else could I do with the resulting technology if I could permanently change eye color? We can only know that if we know what doing so involves. And we don't. Which leaves this open to potential for huge benefit.
That said, it's very complex stuff, and no simple solution currently exists. Not even sure if it can exist as a simple solution. But I would imagine that if I could change eye color, I would also be able to change hair color, and that would be a definite point of interest for men and women going grey. Or depending on how it works, the vain who want to change their hair color just because they are bored, or those who don't want to be a particular hair color for other reasons as well.
It may also have ties to regrowing hair. We won't know for a while yet, but I am really curious as to what can be done with this in 5 or 6 G
