We are possibly many decades away to "execute" entire human genome and verify that edited code does not introduce other bugs. A bad mutation can spread in to population and cause damages that are too expensive to contemplate. The reason evolution has been slow is very likely because genome is so complex and it takes time to test out mutations. One can probably accelerate this process by throwing in simulation utilizing immense computing power. But until that happens we probably don't want to edit ourselves.
