I personally know a fair number of people that would love to have/ are in dire need of 'genetic repair', not just in the germline, but in vivo as well. Unfortunately, I think the numbers quoted are conservative. Have no doubt, the genetic revolution is just that, a revolution. We are in the early stages of this paradigm shift. My point was more that this revolution is much larger than 'oh no, rich people will have smart kids' or ' rich people will live forever'. The example I exposed upon was that the very basic instincts of placental mammals are going to be challenged (potentially). Genetic engineering at these fidelities has undoubted potential for good for those in severe need of it. Thank God! But just like fire or quantum mechanics, it can do harm as well, and in ways we haven't been thinking about. Like, the fear of 'rich people are going to use the stock market even better with smarter kids' isn't thinking deep enough. With the genetic revolution you're going to have to first define the 'people' part of 'rich people', because that is going to become a variable.
