I mean I guess one of the biggest arguments for gene editing is that humans have been modifying the genetics of plants and animals for thousands of years, to the great benefit of humankind. While this was through selective breeding, gene editing is fundamentally a very similar ethical question.

Without genetic modification, it would have been beyond impossible to feed everyone, or even get somewhat past subsistence farming.

Modifying humans, however, is a totally different question to mosifying trees.

A couple of years ago I went to my GP in a very bad mental state due to what I now am fairly sure is undiagnosed ADHD.

My GP prescribed me a walk. Never been willing to try to talk to that doctor again.
