I agree with that sentiment. I think there's some real potential with this technology, but I hope the positive goals (curing disease) are realised as soon as they can be.

I get rather emotional when I see those who're suffering from an Incurable/debilitating disease. Funding and research, play an Integral role towards finding treatments specific to each disease. I do hope It happens a lot sooner than a little later.

We will see if this will be the case.
Currently, it is just marketing.

Or perhaps studying will be more about critical thinking than rote memorization - as it should be right now.
