Gene Editing and The Future of Humanity How Far Is Too Far? Authorized by George Zhuang Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR for short) technology has been much talked about in the scientific community for many years now. It is, very basically, “[a] technology that facilitates making specific changes in the DNA of humans, other animals, and plants [1].” First discovered by Francisco Mojica in 1993 and later identified by the same, as part of an adaptive immune system, CRISPR has since been developed further. Much further. In 2010, CRISPR was first used to cleave target DNA, demonstrating its usefulness for genetic edits on specific DNA targets [2]. Since then, the use of CRISPR has exploded within the scientific community, opening up a vast number of possibilities for researchers as well as new lines of research in areas of study ranging from medicine to food production, in addition to genetics (Figure).
