Future Tech : Microsoft AI and CRISPR Combine Forces!

in genetics •  7 years ago 

I love the possibilties of CRISPR technology. Of course, with such big breakthroughs also come new controversies (i.e. can you afford to pay $1k to have that genetic threat removed so your newborn child will live longer as an adult? etc). One great resource I found to learn about CRISPR is on a couple episodes of Radiolab podcast on the subject. It's fascinating.

This is one of the moral dilemmas with gene editing. Is creating a superhuman race (a genetic elite) morally or ethically appropriate? If not, could we as a species come together to stop large corporations and wealthy elite from doing such a thing? Thanks for leaving your thoughts!
