All these people could still have been born - only with their mutations corrected.
In addition, all the great people who were never born because their pregnancy ended in a miscarriage due to a lethal mutation: perhaps they would have made all the difference?

- 88e282102ae2e5b 11y agoStrictly speaking, it's anytime there's a difference between one genome and the consensus human genome. But since you're presumably asking whether we should consider a mutation to be good or not, that's really the same as asking whether anything is good. Is blindness good, for example? I'd say not, but others may choose to blind themselves if it makes them happy. But I doubt most people would welcome a genetic mutation that blinded them.
