It was the first time edits had been confirmed to have been done on reproductive cells and the news caused deep divisions within the scientific community. Some expressed optimism and hope that such research could eventually lead to the eradication of genetic diseases from the face of the Earth. Others were horrified — warning that genetically modifying humans is unsafe and could have devastating consequences on future generations of our race that no one can foresee.

Do the research, aggressively. I'm pretty sure NOT investigating this could also lead to devastating consequences.

People never imagine unintended wonderful consequences.
