Prediction: When CRISPR gets better someone is going to make a clone of himself absent mutational load.
How would they identify what's a mutation and what isn't? (Extreme rarity in the rest of the population?) The first few people to try doing this will most likely be quite unusual people; how confident could they be that any given unusual allele in their genome is a likely-deleterious mutation rather than something that makes them unusual in a valuable way?
Yes you eliminate extremely rare mutations.
This is a risk.
I just want to get rid of the freaking lines and sines.
