@veritasetutilitas5432 there's also 2 other problems with CRISPR: It's not as precise as we thought when we first found him (though it is much better than everything else we had) and we have an imperfect knowledge of what messing about with genes will do to a human. So even if we had a perfectly precise gene editing tool, we're still not sure if changing this will only reduce the chance of intestine cancer, or if it will change the size of your intestines so you now have to be a carnivore, because it isn't long enough to properly absorb nutrients from plants. Gene interaction is much more complicated than people outside the field tend to believe, and while I'm not in the field either, I've listened to some science broadcasters and that's what I've been able to gather
