RE: Use CRISPR to heal illnesses, not social problems
That's some very valid concerns. There are so many factors to take into consideration, both known as well as unknown. Like you say, we could end up curing an illness which in the future might be the cure for something else.
This just shows how important it is to have ethics boards steering the development and implementation of these tools, even if such boards might not see these consequences before it's too late.
I'm hoping that we'll do more good that bad with this technology. It has such a great potential, unfortunately both negative and positive.
