Many comments celebrate this "good news". I hate to be the downer, and I dont want to say this article made me sad, but this is more "stopping some bad news".

That's still good, and it's better than more bad news, but true good news is when we improve upon the norm, not when we stop one aspect of making things worse. It is great when we can do things like cure diseases and genetic defects and reduce suffering, but I cant celebrate the same way when we are reducing suffering we created through sheer stupidity. Humans cause a lot of suffering by accident, or by dint of competing with other species, and that sucks but isnt what I'm talking about. Cases where we know better and do the harmful stuff anyway are the ones that really get me. Stopping that is "good news" the way someone no longer punching me is good news.
