The hubris of this movement is truly breathtaking. The vista of unintended consequences that will ensue as "fallible humans" attempt to engineer "superior humans" has been pretty thoroughly explored by science fiction writers for at least a generation now. But I doubt they have even scratched the surface.

And the negative effects of tweaking the genome may not be seen for many generations. Or when two "created/modified" humans have children, or their children have children...

Ironically, there may be a point when humans are not allowed to have children naturally because the resulting child will probably have serious birth defects. Humans may not be able to sustain ourselves as a species and we will become extinct.
