While I understand all the ethical arguments against this type of genetic engineering, this is clearly an important line of research to follow.   If research and results have proven prevention of diseases, I would support human trials of tested embryos.    Let's move science FORWARD.  I've had a number of friends lose the battle with cancer and knowing there is a shread of REAL HOPE out there towards a cure - I think it would be unethical NOT to use this knowledge for medical advancements in all types of disease prevention.
