I upvoted this because it's perhaps the most important research being conducted currently. But the seriousness of the issue is misleading. CRISPR is revolutionary technology. Any side effects of its use require evolutionary improvements. The two are not the same. With the decades of experience we have dealing with code and information, as well as the arrival of AI, I wish that people would stop obsessing about the difficulty of solving problems. The difficulty is gone. All problems are solvable now, it's just a matter of time, effort, and a tiny fraction of the money that used to be required. But FUD seems to dominate these discussions. That's probably my biggest disappointment with, say, the rich and powerful who gatekeep funding and the media. It's even easier for them to solve these problems, or encourage healthy debate. But they seem to go out of their way to do the opposite. Like, if it weren't for wealth inequality, we could have been working on this stuff, and found the answers potentially years ago. I'll just never understand the so-called realists and how they hold us back in these times out of fear, which leads to false equivalence and generalization.
