    Well, lets say you have a gene that makes you intolerant to milk. What they have done is getting us one step closer to making it possible for you to just get a shot with a gene that makes you tolerate milk. They are of course hiding it behind "cleaning up the environment" right now, but I'm very sure their agenda is different.

    Now think about all the other genes that you might wanna replace, and you'll start to realise the magnitude of this research.

    There's SO many problems surrounding this field that this will be a HUGE topic for the next hundred years, I'm sure.

    i have tons of genes that i need to replace !

    and i am hell bent on not having kids until science allows me to clean out all my hereditary deceases

    i wouldn't wish this shit on my worst enemy let alone my kids !

    if science cant deliver in the next 30 or so years than i wont have offspring thats for sure

    Well, you can always adopt if you want to! It's just that, further down on our lives, we're going to want to pass on the torch.

    Life isn't just about passing on your genes, there are other important values you'd want to pass on. And whether or not it's your own blood, it's relative.
