The "mark of the beast" is not a human person such as some world leader; "the mark of the beast" is the normal human, but still too animal-like, nature. We know that human nature is hard to change ! Some here still want to be (and do advertise) that they are a "PARTY ANIMAL", until they later learn by hard experiences the real costs of such irrational and immoral behaviors.
BUT, soon modern micro-biology DNA science discoveries will easily allow us to improve our DNA to safely and permanently remove all residual animal hairs from our bodies and from our children.
Will you then choose to stay somewhat animal hairy as your are now? or (if free or very cheap $) choose to change your DNA to fully remove all gross animal hairs ? Or do you want to change the other way to be as fully hairly as a grizzly bear or a goat ? Is fully bald beautiful ? or fully hairy ? or your present patchy clumps of animal hair ?
This is a serious question, even though I added humor?

If man can improve on "nature", (he now does) he is actually super-natural; as our Creator Father God has made us to be ever more perfectly super-natural and perfect as HE IS. God tells us, in Gen 1:26-27, that we are supposed to have DOMINION (CONTROL) over EVERY thing on earth, even the creeping human bodies too ! You are now a Divinely made and loved human personality with God's Spirit within and a living (super-physical) soul and mind; your body is just an imperfect physical tool -- a thing-- that God wants you to help improve co-creatively.
Some American Indians didn't like being animal hairy, so they pulled them out of their chest.

Those having the mark of the beast proclaim their servitude to the beast. Thus, the mark, whether on the right hand or on the forehead, figuratively speaking, is a symbol that identifies its bearer as one who gives worshipful support to the beastlike political systems of the world. Those having the mark give to “Caesar” that which rightly belongs to God. How? By giving worshipful honor to the political state, its symbols, and its military might, to which they look for hope and salvation. Any worship that they render the true God is merely lip service.
When on earth, Jesus made God’s Kingdom the main theme of his preaching. In his model prayer, sometimes called the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught his followers to pray for that Kingdom to come and for God’s will to be done here on earth. The Kingdom is a government that will rule over the entire earth, not from some earthly capital, but from heaven. Hence, Jesus called it “the kingdom of the heavens.
God’s Kingdom will bring peace to all its obedient subjects. (Psalm 37:11, 29; 46:8, 9) Even sorrow, pain, and death will be no more. What a glorious prospect for those who remain free of the mark of the beast!—Revelation 21:3, 4.

Man was created in the image of God. And if we are to assume that Jesus is the literal son of God then looking at Him you will get an idea of what God the Father looks like. So why are you jumping to the conclusion that "the mark of the beast " is something born into mankind in the way of body hair? We were meant to look this way from the beginning.
The "beast" is Satin and "the mark of the beast" is a mark or sign we take upon ourselves to identify with him. According to scripture, the mark will be placed in the hand or the forehead.

I just love Hair, both the musical and the literal.
But Eugenics? Nah. If the science of genetics needs direction, I would direct them to curing heriditary maladies, instead.
Personally, though, as I mentioned before - I love hair on my body, or on any possible mate.
Also, when man eventually conquers space - our physical bodies may need extra to survive migration to other planets, and for this EuGenetics may play a beneficial role. But even without intervention by the science of man, our bodies would naturally adapt, I think, and grow appurtenances to mingle with the alien environment. And cultural concepts of beauty would also adjust accordingly.
When that time comes, ask me again whether I would prefer hooves and four lower limbs to more quickly cover vast distances.

Living truly is living as a heart response.
The bible is not to be taken literally, remember fear is written in.
The "mark of the beast" would be living from the egoic stance. That is living from a perspective of lack, doubt, fear, anger, unlove.
The way of the ego is what causes, hurt, pain and fear. The ego is about identifying, competing, see differences, judging it against. The ego is the limitation, what keeps you bound to the merry-go-round of the sameness of emotional reaction.
To follow your thinking, I feel the DNA is influenced by the mind/ego OR ultimately by the Heart/God/Love.
Ego includes historic and future dross. Is the illusion.
The Heat of Truth/Love/God is living in the now, is love, is all there is in truth. Is reality.
It is that simple, really, seriously.
God is Gracious

Actually science so far has found out that genes are seventy five percent fully reprogramable by environment, education and attitude. That means that most of the reprogramming is dependent on our personal choices and the environment is the choices of us all collectively. We all rise or fall together, to some extent anyway.

I believe that if God has truly marked one with the "mark of the beast" that it cannot be altered or changed. This is the true power of our Lord and Savior and as Christians we will not be able to question it.

Funny thing is Jesus is fully A God but he is not the God Almighty. Which is found in the bible ,which read shows Jesus is not God himself but a God. Jesus Son of God never anywhere in the bible is he called God the Son.

Some of the hair we have serves an important purpose.Try shaving your eyebrows off then have a shower.Or shave off your crack beard (anal cleavage hair) and see how comfortable it is.

Yes, and then we'll be leaving in smooth hairless Gattica and all the religious fanatics will go birzek. It will be so much fun to watch!
