You don't think ridding ourselves of genetic diseases is an extremely large good? Millions of humans have incurable genetic diseases which vastly limit their quality of life and even lifespan itself. To me, this ALONE would be exciting. But when you add on the benefits to editing crops, livestock, microbes, and human traits not tied to disease, the ramifications become downright mind-boggling. I don't think it's exciting in a purely positive way, I honestly don't know if it's going to be good or bad on the whole. I'd wager that it starts off very good and slowly becomes less good, since the best use cases will all be targeted first.
