I see this as fantastic news and a marvelous technological breakthrough that will benefit everyone. We can't simply freeze advancement because of irrational or obsessive fears that it will be misused/abused by someone. Certainly it will be, just as every technological advancement has been. But when considering the greater good and with the realistic expectation that more people will benefit than will be harmed, it's clear that this is is something that will far outweigh those types of fears. These are exciting and wonderful times that we live in. We're on the cusp of something great! I'm very much looking forward to what comes next and how this will be used to benefit mankind.
