So if modifications are easier, you still have the problem that you don’t know all the consequences of modifications you make.
So in practice we have a tool to change the genome but still no instructions on what needs to be improved.
I’m not sure about genetic diseases, but I note that dna talk about genetic markers of diseases, meaning we know that people with this allele often get this disease, but not necessarily that the allele directly causes it, nor that the allele doesn’t also serve a vital function in those people’s genome.
