For all the horror stories you hear about what genetic engineering could do to our species, there’s still awesome shit like this. Gene therapy curing blindness. This is amazing, this should be celebrated, and it should be tested and applied to humans as quickly as possible.

I wonder how much that is going to cost? I mean, I’m sure that we have the resources, but money, maybe there’s not enough. Not to do it quickly anyway. Seems strange. The ability that some would’ve called magic back in Jesus’ day is in development, but taking its time, cause it might affect profit margins.
