CRISPR Gene Editing - in your Point of view

Seriously though, I do not trust us with the ability to create designer animals including humans. Look at what the Chinese are already doing, mixing monkeys with humans.

The possibilities are endless, for good or evil and of course there are always the unintended consequences.

“CRISPR” - Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the hallmark of a bacterial defense system which forms the basis for the popular CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology.

Crispr/cas9 is basically a gene editing tool which enable us to insert or remove gene effectively.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been used to achieve efficient genome editing in a variety of species and cell types, including human cell lines, bacteria, zebrafish, yeast, mouse, fruit fly, roundworm, rat, rabbit, common crops, pig, and monkey.

I feel a novel coming on: "The Yeast that Devoured the World".

For humanity's sake I will donate my DNA so that they can start with perfect and geaux from there.

The opening chapter of my novel has a young female lab technician named Jenny oohing and aahing over the new gene manipulation technology being introduced at the university. That afternoon she doesn't wash up properly and accidentally infects herself with a mutant yeast bacteria while douching.

After a romantic candlelight dinner with her immigrant lover Ramon, they have wild, unbridled sex. Old Ramon makes the prophetic statement "I never had it so good".

Unfortunately for mankind, and unbeknownst to his lover, Ramon is a promiscuous pimp. During the next week he has sex with several of his prostitutes....and mankind is doomed by a bacterial infection that devours us, starting with the genitals and restricts our ability to think rationally about the problem.

Fixed...

I think you need to visit Biscayne Boulevard just south of NW 79th Street.

Ya know, I think I had that Ramon fact buried in the back of my itty-bitty mind, but I just couldn't scratch it out.

Ah well...

Simpsons did it.

Pros and cons.

I'm not interested because I can't get over the name 'CRISPR'

sounds like they're microwaving stuff.
