CRISPR and Gene Editing: Rewriting the Code of Life
CRISPR-Cas9 has transformed genetic engineering, making precise DNA modifications faster, cheaper, and more accessible. Scientists are using this technology to correct genetic disorders, develop disease-resistant crops, and even explore potential applications in human enhancement.
Despite its potential, gene editing raises ethical concerns regarding human germline modifications and unintended mutations. As research progresses, regulations and ethical frameworks will play a crucial role in guiding the responsible use of CRISPR technology.
