Could they add a mouth and digestive system through DNA editing?

They do have a mouth, but it's like our appendix. It doesn't do anything.

Ok. Still could use some crisper magic to give it some sustenance for a longer life

And then it takes over the world, Sam. Is that what you want to happen?

There are billions of uglier things we could be subjects to

Probably not, they're terrible at DNA editing.
