Agreed i thinks its great news .
This in particular was to fix a genetic reproductive problem and i actually think it was far more moral to do this , rather then just pass the problem down to your children.
But i'd like to see it go much further.
I can't imagine what ethical (non -religious) argument you could have against creating fitter, healthier , more intelligent and potentially even more moral individual . If we have the power to change our genetics fo the better , how can this not be a good thing ?
And i personally would be quite happy if my own origins were from a GM background . It might perhaps give the human race the power to plot its own destiny , rather the blind downward spiral that i fear we might be in (dysgenically) .
