It's going to be much, much easier to cure gene-related diseases in our children. Eventually we'll get both, but it's much easier to genetically modify the unborn than to engineer the living.
True. However, given some sort of neural re-sequencing technology, the two processes will become one and the same (though the word "cloning" will fall into disuse as those engineered won't have exactly the same DNA....)
