I mean we are talking about engineering super-humans. Humans are the only biological organism that is currently not being genetically engineered for better characteristics. Do you want people to just splice in DNA willy-nilly, seeing if we can get smarter or faster or stronger babies, assuming they survive? Where does this end?
That isn't what was done in this case. This is cellular surgery, not genetic engineering.
Thanks. (Though to be clear, I was directly responding to the parent point about over-caution. :) Not making a statement about this particular news item.)
