This is indeed the best exposition of Dawkins book around; warts and all.
And they say "Dieter Egli, a geneticist at Columbia University who led the research, called for a public conversation about the pros and cons of altering embryonic DNA" seems to that we have had this discussion and not sure another round will change current thoughts.

Pleiotropy and epistasis are pervasive - just because you can average them out across a population does not mean you can predict (or control) their effects in an individual
On the 50th anniversary of ‘The Selfish Gene’, still amazes me Dawkins cavalier view of #organisms as ‘colonies of genes’…… Their cellular basis ignored, development non existent and in #evolution, they appear by magic. An important hole in his views. In biology u forget @ #cell at your peril
