Just out of curiosity – how much does CRISPR allow us to modify adult humans? I've read a lot about designer babies and such, but what can the current population expect to get out of it?

We've modified adult cells of Huntingtons patients [0] but I can't find any reports outside of hackerspaces of performing it on full human adults.
