That paper was obsolete when it was done, even more obsolete when it was published, and totally obsolete now when even on the front page of HN, right now (presumably prompting this submission), there is an article about US researchers successfully editing human embryos with few or no off-targets.

The interview was mainly about embryo selection, not genetic engineering.

What hope do us simpletons have with this technology? Will we be able to edit our DNA to raise our IQ? Learn more efficiently? Better Memory? Etc...
