The study did not conclude that CRISPR-cas was safe for use in human patients or that it had no negative effects on the surviving embryos. In fact, there were concerns raised about off-target effects and mosaicism in the edited embryos. The study primarily aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using CRISPR-cas to edit human embryos, rather than to provide evidence of its readiness for clinical applications. Therefore, the best choice is D.
