>An experimental gene-editing therapy that aims to lower bad cholesterol for the long-term after a single infusion is off to a positive start in an early clinical trial. Researchers running a Phase I safety trial for the drug, dubbed VERVE-102, published interim results from just 35 patients this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. Though the numbers are small and the analysis is preliminary, VERVE-102 appeared safe, with no serious adverse events reported from the treatment, even at the largest doses. The most significant finding was a temporary, mild increase of a liver enzyme that suggested minor injury in the liver, where the drug works.

"Magic pills" are worth it. Even if you only get to live 40 years in "perfect health" when you should be able to live at least 100 years (if you have good genes and are healthy).

Genetic modification always comes at a cost. Good medicine is a different tune.

Shortcuts always have a cost. Many people are too stupid or unwilling to acknowledge that.
