>don't use CRISPR on embryos
>>why not?
>cause ethical reasons
>>what ethical reasons?
>oh, not really ethical reasons per say, sorry, we just meant it's just very difficult

What about the ethical dilemma of forcing choices on a sentient being that can't even think yet??
Why not just use CRISPR on adults? It'll avoid both the ethical dilemma and the "ethical dilemma"

Because we don't have reliable delivery mechanisms, and probably never will. There is only so much information viral vectors can contain.

Not much effort is put into embryo editing right now, and probably won't be for a while. Most of the work is on ex-vivo therapies which are working pretty well.

Why not test with pajeets? They already mutate themselves with inbreeding and mere odds from overpopulation.

there is one grand discovery left in genetics: the somatic cell editing system. everything else I agree is diminishing returns

True. People don't really have a good idea of what genetic engineering really means. Insulin is a product of genetic engineering. The standard of care cancer medications are products of genetic engineering (Keytruda, Avastin, Herceptin, etc). The whole biomedical and pharmaceutical development process centers around genetic engineering with mutant mice and cell lines.

It's a lot easier to edit one single celled zygote in vitro than trillions in vivo
