There's peeps working on it or at a minimum looking at it. Some people clearly have no common sense as can be seen by the body modifier personalities already injecting useless semiconductor chips subdermally into their hands, then bragging about it.. others injecting even worse in the false name of biohacking. Then again there are biologists who smoke cigarettes so science degrees and common sense do not always go together.

DIY Gene Therapy is not, to my knowledge, a "thing" right now, nor
should it be.
As someone who studied nonviral integrative gene therapy several years
back for cancer therapeutic uses, I can tell you that there is no clear
consensus on how to efficiently transfect DNA into live tissue without
incurring a *significant* risk of inducing either cancer or a
catastrophic immune backlash. There have been gene therapy trials that
ended in the sudden deaths of participants due to unforeseen cytokine
storms that *did not occur in prior animal trials*.
Gene therapy is a potentially amazing medical technology, but it was
invented and first trialled over a decade ago, and is not yet a
recommended or permitted therapy for anything that I am aware of, and
the primary reason is that it is not, at all, safe.
