What about the state of genetic engineering/wet-ware in this setting? Are we allowed to do anything with that or should that be considered a part of Cyberware as well?

In general, genetic engineering will be present in the story as a more esoteric form of manipulating the human body. Research of such topics is mostly restricted and kept out of the public eye. There will be a particular corporation (I'm sure you may be able to guess which) that will deal a lot with high end genetic engineering, but their work won't be available to the public. If you'd like to make your character heavily modified biologically, I'd offer that you have some relation to that company whether past or present. If the modification is more small scale, you could have worked with a particularly intelligent Ripper Doc. (As it happens, there is one specifically interested in genetic modification in the Reclaim Zone).
