Yes, but I forget most of it at this point
I suppose we simply have to trust that humanity will make the right choices in regards to having the power to alter our genes.
I don't plan on doing much trusting.
A vigilant, monitored, regulated, volunteer-oriented system is the one I'd be behind. Anything else gets no "trust" from me.
Given the track record with the ability to split the atom I feel we are in for a period of prolific abuse before it is reigned in.
Right now, we don't have a lot of information to go from.
All we can do currently is wait and see what's around the next corner.
We can have a plan in mind and be ready to react if anything seems to be deviating... or we can "trust."
We all make our own choices.
