The Genome Engineering Revolution

That's the wonder of genetic engineering, if you have a digital record of genomes you get to keep genetic diversity forever. You can mix and match across the entire gene pool. You can eliminate whole categories of disease and disability. We're not there quite yet, but heading there in the next few decades.

Please elaborate why that matters; it was taught pretty early on in my bio major that ecosystem biodiversity is a positive, however, I haven't heard of anything relating directly to a species itself. Thanks.
