By 2030, will gene editing to cure serious genetic diseases be seen as generally uncontroversial?

Many people do not currently see gene editing to cure e.g., cancer, sickle-cell, or down syndrom as a clear moral good that humanity should be persuing. Will this change by 2030?

Currently, I count ~40% of the most recent tweets containing the term "gene editing" as clearly negative; "gene therapy" is much, much worse. Twitter may not be the most approprite source by time of resolution, but I will try to find a broadly equivalnt source of popular opinion. When I look at statements of popular opinion, will at least 90% be positive or neutral? By default, I will treat technical statements of valid research as neutral, even if they show negative results or document risks. I will search for whatever term or terms are most commonly used in 2030.
