Going to be interesting if CRISPR deletes more of the dna strand than its supposed to and copying errors occur. Assuredly more problems than being deaf. Why can't anyone wait for some more studies/ testing?

That the same idea mooney (whatever his name was) had with reimer with disastrous results. Its an ethical consideration people tend to negate when new science comes along.

Most ethical seems to be to stick with zygote selection to avoid rare genetic disorders instead of CRISPR before more research has been done. However, both approaches will lead to embryo ranking and narrowing of gene pool via short-sighted selection

Humans have huge genetic diversity, so there is no problem with any CRISPR editing removing too much diversity in any close future. You display strong status quo bias. Try the approach advocated here: https://nickbostrom.com/ethics/statusquo.pdf …

Simply because I don't agree with your stance does not mean I display this bias.
