As with everything, there is the potential of great benefit and great abuse. 

On the positive side, many of the things that affected mankind and the weakness can be enhanced with gene editing. This would solve potential issues like alzheimer, totally remove the threat of cancer and other ailments. It can produce replacements parts or enhance growth of human parts.

On the bad side, one aspect was show  in the anime of gundam destiny were editing of genes created superhumans which fostered discrimination. This created wars and other bad side effects. There are still more issues due to misuse of this technology.

That is why for both the positive and negative there must be international understanding and agreements for the wise usage of the technology.
