There's much more than CRISPR. Take a look at Cas Phi, dCas9, TALENs and ZNF.

The corresponding ethical issues of genetic engineering are complex and deserve serious attention in what may be a relatively short interval before these capabilities become a reality. Each society will decide for itself where to draw the line on human genetic engineering, but we can expect a diversity of perspectives. Almost certainly, some countries will allow genetic engineering, thereby opening the door for global elites who can afford to travel for access to reproductive technology. As with most technologies, the rich and powerful will be the first beneficiaries. Eventually, though, I believe many countries will not only legalize human genetic engineering, but even make it a (voluntary) part of their national healthcare systems. The alternative would be inequality of a kind never before experienced in human history. I believe that in the end all will benefit from such universal program, guaranteeing everyone being born healthy, fit and intelligent. The question is for what should we use genetic engineering, and I refer to that the question that we should only augment the potential towards non-positional traits.
A positional good benefits you only because others lack it. Height may be an advantage in men, but if everybody were three inches taller, nobody would be better off. Attractiveness may be another example of a positional good. A gain for one person implies a relative loss for others. I would contrast that with a trait like health. Your life is better when you are healthy, even if others are also healthy. Cognitive enhancements are a complex topic, but they have aspects that are intrinsically valuable. It is good if we can understand the world better.

Even if this were the case, ideal situation would be that of Brave New World

its a wierd concept this "white male privilege"... the lecture he gives its actually "white male privilege" on itself, he, like many other people have an ego-centric world view and they just ignore the world around them efectively becoming "white male privileged" thenself...
if that guy in the video knew that asians don't really like black people and that hispanics makes fun of asians and blacks just the same... china and japan hate each other and theres an racial aspect to that conflict too...
