CRISPR is just too tempting to weaponize. Once China does it, and it looks they will, every country after will do it to keep up with them. An escalating arms race with genetics. Add to that Elon Musk's attempt a brain interface with software that he's designing to compete with AI's that he's scared will cause our extinction and you have a terrifying scenario where each country's AI is perpetually at war with every AI. Human evolution will have to jump start their adaptations or face extinction in as little as one generation.
