Yes! I have a genetic disease that will take me out in my 70s and I’m really hoping CRISPR gets to it before I do!

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but don't most people die around age 70-80?

Life expectancy in many countries is mid 80s.

That doesn't seem to be true, the global expectancy is 73 and only a dozen of the wealthiest countries are mid 80s. I wouldn't be worried about dying at 70, but maybe I'm built of tougher stuff.

You say my claim is not true then proceed to acknowledge it is true. To be clear about the fact: about 1/4 of all countries have a life expectancy >80, and as you said, more than a dozen in mid-80s.

A lot of people's genes will take them out in their 70s but cheers to crispy

Very true!

I hope for you and others that they will!
