Realistically how close are we to making superhumans using CRISPR? How about changing merely cosmetic features like hair color?
Realistically how close are we to making superhumans using CRISPR...

My sources say no

what a shame

Ask the chinese, they the ones who are working on it right now.

We are doing nothing with it and will do nothing for the next thirty years minimum.
China and Japon is where you should look at.
Learn one of the languages and go there if you want to do anything with it.

Not close at all. CRISPR is a wonderful tool for knocking things out and it makes site directed replacement pretty easy, but ultimately the limiting factor is our knowledge.
First we would have to know HOW to make superhumans, and that's knowledge we lack. It's like saying, "I got a really cool wrench today, that means I can turn my early 90s shitmobile into a ferrari right". Having the tool is worthless if you don't know how to apply it.

Knowledge that merely suggesting we should gather being career-ending in the west.
The knowledge you talk about is basically an admission that subhumans are inferior beasts fit only for slaughter.
It'll never happen.
Again, any one worth he's salt wanting to use CRISPR to advance Humanity need to fuck off to either China or Japon.
This is not a joke. The languages takes two years to learn from a latin background. Start NOW.

Apparently this topic is getting posted here a lot now because of a recent YouTube "science" video on the CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease system. Don't let that/anyone fool you. CRISPR was certainly an impressive development, but its utility now is mainly as a stepping stone to more advanced, accurate and controlled methods using designer proteins. I applied and interviewed at several labs working on genome editing; all of them are using newer, novel methods.

>newer, novel methods
Like what? Not being sarcastic, I am really curious, I had some background in that area but I have been disconnected for a long time.

We have hair dye though.
