This Could Be the End Of All Genetic Disease
Mutations of individual genes could cause lethal diseases such as cystic fibrosis or increase the risk of cancer, but CRISPR will soon allow scientists to correct the harmful mutations in the embryonic stage, so the embryos develop into healthy children. And the method can be used for more than just curing diseases. It also allows the introduction of mutations, which could provide children with special gifts. Scientists already know of mutations, which can provide larger muscles, resistance to viruses, or reduced need for sleep. So, CRISPR-treated embryos would be able to father or mother superhumans..
