Given the responses to a similar question, I think the answer is no, that is I would expect basically no genetic editing/IVF breakthroughs to transfer to the somatic cells.
I think that’s a fine position, but doesn’t seem to be addressing’ gears’ point. (“We don’t know for sure how much time we have and this seems like a thing that’s worth working on” seems like a fine answer though)
Can we do genetic engineering that is immediately useful, as opposed to “at a minimum wait ~ 10 years for an infant to become Ender Wiggin?”
