I think it does. And I think it's going to make for some very interesting and difficult conversations, conversations we need to have. So it's absolutely true that there's a lot of enthusiasm for what looks like a successful treatment for a person who otherwise would have had a number of complicated health challenges. As we continue to develop that, you will have people say, Why are we doing this?

Shouldn't we just do one and done? Shouldn't we just fix this in the embryo such that when that person is born, they don't have the condition and none of their children will be at risk of having the condition?

Because depending on where you go right now, you will be treating people who will go on to live and may choose to reproduce and may have offspring with the very same condition that they had for which they were genetically modified. I understand that, but I also think that it's a mistake to go down that path. With that project, you are trying to take over the human evolutionary story.

And I'm going to say back in that context that I think if you're looking at therapeutic interventions, the number of persons that you would create is infinitesimally small. So I want you to think about that. What else could you do that might have a more important impact over time?
