From what I copied and pasted it sounds like they can identify these defective sequences and replace them with properly functioning genes, does this mean virtually a cure for all disease or deviant behavior? I suffer from OCD, so this information is very exciting to me, even if its not possible for a very long time, its still something to hope for.

Psychological dependence is just as destructive as physical dependence.
When it becomes your master is when the addiction begins.When you do what you have to to have it.

Answer by Tyler
Let’s put it in simple terms, then go onto the more complex answer.
