We don't need gene editing. It is 100% unnecessary.

So, how to create a winterproof variety of lemons? You can't do it without changing lemon genes. The question is only in how you will do it - by natural selection, by random gamma-rays shooting or by direct editing.

All that smokescreens around genetic is just a smokescreen. This thing is similar to computer programming - you have a "program" written as DNA code. Different parts do different things. That's all. As you know exactly how it works, you are free to do anything you want.

Ethic questions about human gene editing also not as simple as you think. Of course when some elite bastards want to change your DNA with murky goals that is absolutely unacceptible. Or when they want to grow dumb brainless clones to replace us. But from the other side it is a question of what making us those who we are. If it is DNA - than it is unacceptible to interfere with our DNA. Changing DNA we will become something different. But if it is something else and we are spiritual beings in the vessels of our bodies, then who cares if we change our vessel in the way we want? As long as it is our own decision, it should be OK. Of course there will be some dumbfucks that will grow horns and tails, but most people will use this ability to fix errors or for other utilitarian things. Nowdays we already have few freaks who do some weird and disgusting things with their bodies. But nobody think that fixing teeth or repairing wounds is something satanic.

Even moving to theological things, it is not as simple as it seems. If God create us and give us an ability to change ouselves, may be He do it with purpose. And since God create us by His own likeness, it means that we have the right not only use life, but change it too. And may be even create it, in the likeness of God. Also, f.e., humanity become taller, and it is genetic thing. Yes, our genes changing making us taller. Is it against God or is it along His plan? I think it is up to us - use that ability or not and how to use it.

Shortly it depends on who and with what purpose doing that "scary" gene editing. And it does not matter how they do it. CRISPR - is about "how", not about "who" or "with what purposes".

Question everything. It could be at least interesting.
