Interesting fact is that humans are one of less diversed species because our population passed recently through bottle neck and after it experienced rapid growth. Each chimp is more different from any other chimp than any human between each other. This means that we are prone to large pandemic. We are almost clones. So some genetic experiments in embryos may improve situation, but better to invest in the bio safety.
