Most unease: germline editing being monetized and out of reach for the majority, leading to a larger gap between the wealthy and non-wealthy, as some people can afford to give their future children every possible benefit. Also potential for abuse of this technology.

Misplaced concerns- none. I think it’s important to be concerned about the possibilities.

If it were possible to safely and precisely edit embryos to confer lifelong HIV resistance, à la the experimental approach of Dr. Jiankui He, is this something we should pursue as a society? Why or why not? Absolutely, but make it achievable for all, and the research needs to be there first to ensure safety.

I am used to deriving the formula first, but this way works too.
