Can you please confirm if your definition would include genetic edits that are intended to result in curing (or mitigating the effects of) a disease? e.g. a genetic edit that cures an inborn error of metabolism that would result in severe lifelong disease. I ask as your other examples are mostly aesthetic, but this is more likely to happen first.

Can you also please confirm if you mean only germline edits (done on embryo stem cells, affecting all or nearly all cells in the baby at birth, will be passed on to children), or somatic editing (affects mostly only cells in a specific tissue or its precursor, eg editing cells that will form parts of bone marrow and the immune system, will not be passed on to children unless done on gametes).

@WXTJ The second question is much easier to answer. I’ll say any editing that happens pre-birth. I think I’ll say that purely health related things do not qualify as that is a health related edit, not really a “designer” feature.

@ZacheryHolmes Thank you. So edits which are primarily aesthetic, rather than for health reasons.
