If we can prevent BS crap from being done to this and if we have a crystal clear understanding of exactly what we're doing, this is actually a great idea. Granted, we need to have both of those things before we do this. But permanent disease immunity that is passed on just by being born is actually pretty fuckin' cool.

You damn well know it's going to be used for evil. And then maybe, at some point, for good. Denying this is denying reality.

I'm not denying it at all.

My wording wasn't perfect. It was meant more as a general statement. Not implicating.

No, I get it. I completely get what you were trying to say. And it's realistic.

It's not like viruses don't already do that. Better to know and track how your DNA is getting changed than to let a random virus do it, in addition to making you sick.
