>Three people with inherited diseases successfully treated with CRISPR
>The first two patients with beta thalassaemia no longer need blood transfusions since being treated 15 and five months ago. Nor does the patient with sickle cell disease, nine months after treatment
So CRISPR works. That much is indisputable at this point. Short term safety also seems to have been proven.
So why not start using CRISPR for aesthetic goals? Specifically, to knock out OCA2 and MC1R to induce blue eyes and blond hair, or blue eyes and red hair;

>A Novel Pale-Yellow Coat Color of Rabbits Generated via MC1R Mutation With CRISPR/Cas9 System
>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012160618300988
>Albinism in CRISPR engineered surface/cavefish hybrids definitively demonstrates that oca2 is responsible for albinism in cavefish
Would anyone like to persue this with me? I'm 100% serious about this. Pic related depicts the specific gRNA I want to use, but I'm an amatuer so I'd defer to a scientist about exactly what to target.
