CRISPR is what was used to make those genetically altered babies that are immune to HIV. It's a technology that could do a lot of good for people in the future, but currently that incident with the Chinese children raised a lot of ethical issues so it is hard to say what the timeline for these things looks like. An example of a disease with no cure that could be fixed by this is Huntington's disease.

Of course it will happen and of course only the wealthy will be able to afford it at first. That's how these things go. Organ transplants were considered extremely unethical at first and only the wealthy could afford them (and that is still the case to a large degree).

Also, to those talking of the benefits of genetic engineering, I highly recommend reading Hacking Darwin so you can get a better informed laymans view on how powerful this new technology is, both in regards to extreme benefits and extreme detriments. I feel it is extremely important for the average American to be aware of where this can go so we can prevent the worst case scenarios.

I thought that Chinese doctor incident was not really an issue about the ethics of the gene editing itself but rather it was because he used unapproved technology without the proper licenses.

That's interesting. I remember when there was an international panic when China had that incident with a gene editor. Glad attitudes have changed since then. They haven't changed at all. That guy is in jail and the majority of people are still opposed to using it on human babies. These women were not involved with that nor did they advocate it. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...

Editing someone's genetics is disgusting tbh.
I don't just mean on a religious, or moral basis either. People still don't fucking know what they're doing with genetics, at all. "Yeah, this one is the one that give you sickle cell immunities.
