I feel like if we know enough to fix this with gene editing on purpose, we know enough to unfix it on purpose too. If we later run into a situation as a species where having high cholesterol is somehow a major improvement for people, we can give everyone high cholesterol pretty easily.
What if there’s a benefit to high cholesterol?

My doctor has been telling me for 15 years my good cholesterol is too low. But nothing she recommended had any affect until I started taking a statin.
I have heard intermittent fasting helps a lot with stubborn health issues. Might be worth trying out.
I have a similar “issue”. Good total cholesterol around 150, but too low of a ratio between good and bad cholesterol.
If there is, the problem is that the effect of high cholesterol would outweigh it. Unless you enjoy heart attacks and strokes.
