No more than the normal level of terrifying

I didn't say NOT terrifying.

Haha yes well CRISPR can go wrong in many ways, I've posted a lot of CRISPR info on this community if you're interested

Oh, so fucking wrong. We could get engineered castes and bioeconomically stratified humanity, or an entire generation whose bodies just fall apart when they hit like age 30, or just lots of fun new cancers. Almost certainly at least one of those.

But it won't destroy the planet too easily, won't murder truth, etc.

So maybe a little less horror than usual. Plus it could also do some good things! Maybe! If we steal IP!
