Gene editing has a lot of medical potential outside of the sci-fi utopia/dystopia stuff. Especially diseases caused by a straightforward well-known genetic cause [1], such as sickle-cell disease, might very well be permanently treatable in the next decade or 2. There's also more far-out ideas that might be viable involving permanently affecting the bodies biological machinery to improve it, like adding extra insulin producing capability to cells in diabetic patients.
