How many years do you think it will be before genetic engineering is accepted and adopted?

I hate my genes right now and wish I could stroll down to the doctor's tomorrow to alter my metabolic rate. This way, I would be able to get the body I desire. So I am obviously not offended by the thought of genetic manipulation. But it's such a sensitive debate.. Surely we shouldn't be selfish and realise that it is for the benefit of our race? i don't know how mature or premature GM is at the minute though. What's your say?
