Some people may even think it important to use Crispr to make better humans, not just preemptively stamp out disease. There are gene variants which confer extra-strong bones, low Alzheimer’s risk or viral resistance such as to HIV. Beyond that, what about enhancements such as living longer, improved cognition, or altered physical attributes? “I am sure there are broader human characteristics that people would like to be able to modulate,” says Dana Carroll. But he adds that presently those kind of multi-genetic traits would be difficult to edit in because we don’t fully understand their basis, let alone what unintended consequences might result.
