Comment on Crispr gene editing shown to permanently lower hereditary high cholesterol

As somebody who’s been a vegetarian for twenty years but still has 200 LDL at age 37, this would be really great to just have fixed. Dumb genes.

You want something in my genes. Constant dangerously low blood pressure, cholesterol, and heartbeat. I’ve had doctors joke that I need an IV of lard and salt. Oh yeah, I’m also either hyper or hypo glycemic. Whichever one needs to be reset with salt being added in to restart my glycemic regulation.
I basically get to eat whatever I want just to maintain consciousness, and even at 43 my metabolism shows no signs of slowing down.
Downside is that I will pass out if I stand up too fast, and I constantly crave salt.
