That guy misunderstands the point of Zayners stunt, and also misunderstands the kits that Zayner sells (they are kits for using crispr on yeast in a Petri dish). Zayner acknowledges that his arm injection stunt is likely very inefficient. Still I'm not going to defend Zayner, he probably is a bit of a dick. But the point is that you can modify the DNA of at least a small number of your own cells in a rough untargeted way for about $400. That's quite surprising. Makes you wonder what might be going on behind closed doors elsewhere. edit: Here's Zayner's write up of his stunt: http://www.ifyoudontknownowyaknow.com/2017/10/the-first-human-to-attempt-crispr-gene.html http://www.ifyoudontknownowyaknow.com/2017/10/the-first-huma...
