How they classify it as damage is what really pisses me off.

It changes it, it doesn't damage it. There's no way to tell if the changes are good or bad until you actually have kids, mostly because genetic defects can be good too!

Here's the definition of "damage."

Quote:
1dam·age Listen to the pronunciation of 1damage
Pronunciation:
\ˈda-mij\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Middle English, from Anglo-French, from dan damage, from Latin damnum
Date:
14th century

1: loss or harm resulting from injury to person, property, or reputation
2plural : compensation in money imposed by law for loss or injury
3: expense, cost <“What's the damage?” he asked the waiter>

so how do they know the DNA changes are actually harmful?
