This "brilliant geneticist" is clearly not brilliant enough if she performs human experimentation on a kidnapped prisoner and livestreams it.
She'll be doing her science in jail for most of her life.
Also the main character is definitely dead from the massive changes in hormones and body modifications. Probably lots of cancer, loss of bone density, runaway muscle atrophy, and hair loss, followed by death. I say a few months before bedridden and a year after that before the cancer takes them.
Or you know, it's only game.
