The researchers acknowledge that Best disease and CMT are simpler targets than many genetic diseases: both are caused by single nucleotide changes in a single gene, making it simpler to fix; and the symptoms occur in tissues that are relatively easy to access. Nevertheless, treatments like this will pave the way for treating more complex genetic diseases.

And we’ll all be dead. 
Oh, I doubt that.
So long as you plan on dying old.
I don’t plan on dying old because having a plan for your death is silly. And so is waiting for a cure for a disease we don’t even understand yet.
Fair enough.
I can’t plan on dying young though because that ship has sailed.
So I will have to settle for old.
Yeah thats a good way too look at it, The tech is moving pretty fast really.
