This is cool, so in laymans terms - you can disable the bad "genes" and just express/enable/push the "good ones."

So how do we define what is a bad gene? If we use crispr, can we turn it off on an actual, live, aging human being or only before they're "born" or such?

Is there a good resource/book that gets someone from zero to a basic biological understanding and background of this and above? I really have no idea, nor do I know who to ask. :(
