Yes. Gene editing is a set of reliable methods for placing genetic sequences at precise places in the genome and/or removing sequences from the genome. So, if you know a particular sequence causes a problem, it can be replaced with a sequence that is found in healthy people.
This looks like a huge step forward with tons of potential!
Doctors hope new technology like CRISPR gene-editing therapies can be the key to treating more than 7,000 rare diseases, such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease and muscular dystrophy, that affect approximately 30 million people across the country.
And maybe it’s better this way. Even with this so-called success story, it’s all still very experimental and speculative. That’s totally tied to your risk aversion.
The Future is now.
Does gene therapy possibly negate the Gattaca like future where your genes hold you back?
I think it may be even scarier, where what holds you back isn't your genes but whether your parents could afford to modify you
Yikes

Good question. This is one of my favorite movies!

Yeah this stock has been on my watch list for years. Never pulled the trigger

Yeah true but I wonder is gene editing playing god?
Regardless, it won't make us into gods. But we should try to use it responsibly ethically and morally
But do you trust humanity enough to make that decision?
