There's no downside. It's only the same as what we did with smallpox and polio. I'm all for it: I'd get genedrives for all kinds of genetically-determined diseases.
What concerns me is how genes affect personality. I don't want a world of geniuses if a side-effect is they're all nasty people. Now I like to think that smarter people are also nicer, on the whole. And violence is often associated with frontal-lobe defects. I would like to live in a happier more secure world, and if that means engineering people to be nicer, less murderous people then so be it. But that's Clockwork Orange territory.
