If we're talking in very general, "wishlist" ways, I would hope that a lot of the present cancer and vaccine research might make it possible in the future to correct birth defect prenatally. Things like congenital heart defects being fixed via gene editing during development versus surgically afterwards. Ditto for things like autoimmune or other inherited diseases.
