The human genome is full of harmful mutations. While many are widespread and some are shared by everyone, we each still have our own unique collection of them. I often wonder how much longer we'd live with every obviously harmful mutation reverted.

It's probably not black and white, some of those harmful mutation may have necessary benefits in some other function. It's like drinking a poison that will kill in the long term but you need to live in the short term.
