We will definitely be able to. Technically we already /do/ have modified humans, if you count the people given gene therapy for diseases modified. The little girl cured of the 'bubble boy' disease, the Berlin Patient cured of HIV from a bone marrow transplant, so on. We'll definitely be modifying ourselves. Pointy ears? That seems very simple to do, but what do I know? I'm no geneticist. Personally, I'm going for extended life above all else :-)
The universe has gone from unimaginable, featureless heat to complexity and it will return in time to unimaginable, featureless cold.

Perhaps you could save the idea for the upcoming porn version of the immersive virtual reality experience. 
What are you without the sum of your parts?

I doubt you'll find a geneticist willing to give your children pointy ears. However, cosmetic surgery could probably give you pointy ears now, if you don't mind people pointing and staring.

If something I say sounds like trolling/being stupid/offensive, please forgive me. I'm bad with people.
