The way humans focus on saving lives no matter what and survival, its easy to think that a LOT of genes that we may prefer to "take a hike" will, instead, be sticking around for the long run.

Why on earth would we keep them if we don't want them around? At the moment we can knock out 60% of the genes that cause Huntington's chorea in mice. If we can get this up to 80% in humans then we can obviously almost wipe it out in two generations.
