Likely, only the rich will be able to run out and get gene mods for some time.

Given that genetic testing(+) has had twice the rate of performance-to-cost doublings as Moore’s Law since the Human Genome Project completed, “some time” may be 21 years from billionaires to subsistence farmers.

(+) yes I know that’s not the same as editing, but it’s the closest comparison I have for guestimating future improvements.

Likely, the rich will set up charities that sponsor gene mods for the poor.

(Only a cynic would call it beta testing.)

Aren't we already doing beta-testing medicaments big scale in africa?
