I recall the conversation around human germline editing, at least popularly, used to be much closer to "No, let's not do that" because of the potential for engineering a class of humans with heritable genetic advantages or disadvantages and all of the dystopian outcomes that entails, like a more perfectly controlled slave race or deeper disparities in health outcomes between wealthy and poor people. GP-Write is much more equivocal on that question. Essentially they say, "We're not doing that now, but we could later if it's technically legal and we get funding"

@2ck The link seems to be talking about genes of specific organs, like growing a kidney in a dish, which has little to do with that you are referring to, which would be I guess modification of a genome of a zygote. Changing the genome of a zygote makes very little sense, especially en masse.
I only read the beginning and the end, but here is what I got out if it:
"
We just wanna make human replacement parts...
... if you wanna change heritable traits, GTFO, especially you - germline MOFOs!
