Am sure these things might happen in future but the present advances in tech itself has raised tyrants too who have power to wipe out the human race if they want to.
Gene editing could be a solution to some very grave problems that we are facing since adam and could be profoundly lethal if used as CRISPR
That would simply be playing God!
You really have some vivid imaginations :)

Tyrants have surely been created throughout history thanks to tech advances and I think it will continue to happen in the future as well. The gene editing could be a solution but in the wrong hands even this could go horribly wrong for us. Let's just hope that saner people overpower the insane ones.
I agree and I think CRISPR is the most lethal thing ever for humans. Tomorrow we will have designer babies and cure for some diseases too by gene editing. But this is the biggest threat to the evolution of human species as it is the result of adaptation while CRISPR just eliminates any chance of evolving.
Example: Cold and Flu are problems but they do leave strengthening immune system.
What will happen to a body (genetically edited) which never fell ill once it catches a cold or flu or some new disease?
