        article breezes over it: the issue is inequality of access. If diseases can b "edited out" only by rich people, they become "poor" diseases

        Gattaca saw this coming 20 yrs ago. I hope the results aren't as fascist as the movie speculated.

        Being able to help rid humans of autoimmune disorders and other illness would be amazing. However, where would the gene editing stop?
