I watched a pretty good PBS-NOVA special on CRISPR recently that covered this.

It seems like the scientists interviewed (some of them leaders in CRISPR) were of the opinion that we should stay the hell away from editing the human germ line (not sure if I used the right term, but basically stuff that would be passed to offspring).

I'm not even just talking about CRISPR. mRNA-LNP is like a flash drive that bypasses anti-virus software. The opportunities are...dramatic.
