This would be a huge step in technology, the day we can genetically engineer humans is the day we take a step forward in our evolution. The only people that think this is wrong, are the type of sad bastards that are stupid enough to believe in religion and think cutting down trees hurts the world, seriously, only good can come from this.
Have you ever wondered why we have big brains, or why we walk on two legs? Its because our ancestors passed down the genes for those favorable traits through sexual selection, which we have done for millenia, and what we are still doing today. Genetic engineering would only be an advanced version of that process, just as HD replaced black and white film. This is the inevitable path of progress, therefore, the only question worth asking is: will we know how to wisely take full advantage of this?
I'm a strong proponent of genetic engineering, particularly in food, but I too am afraid of the scenario drawn out at 7:06, these "designer babies" will likely only be created by the upper class, giving them an even greater advantage over the lower class, and possibly leading to racism towards those without genetic engineering. These modifications can certainly improve our species, but not if only the rich have them.
Awesome!
