Commentary:
Gene editing sounds good until you think about editing embryos. It could prevent diseases, but it could also be used to choose traits. That is where it starts getting questionable. There needs to be limits or it can easily be misused. Genetics is advancing fast, but ethics needs to keep up.
I think gene editing could be a very important advancement, however I also agree that you have to stay away from the eugenics side of it.
