however lets not get too carried away with what we can currently do with it.
You seem to misunderstand, I'm not saying we can "fix" people now.....nor getting carried away what we can do currently with it. The post clearly states at what stage, CRISPR is right now and what the future might bring, if you like join the discussion and state your opinion on the morality of it, like the scientists did back in December...I'd be glad to hear your input on this.
I am all for gene editing to correct debilitating diseases. I do not personally think people should be able to edit the genomes of their children for cosmetic reasons (biologically speaking). These sorts of things bring out the question, what does it mean to be human?
Exactly, I'm also against "cosmetic" changes and yes they do.
