Agreed 100%. Why assume it's going to lead to some dystopian future when technological progress has shown that advances like this come down in cost immensely over time. Even an insurance system would want in on subsidizing these procedures if it meant an upfront cost versus long term or lifelong expensive treatments. Edit: Why even assume it would be an insurance subsidy -- the government has a strong motivation to reduce health care costs for >= 65 year-olds and if you could eliminate or reduce costs through early genetic engineering the argument can be made that the government itself should subsidize as a public health initiative.
