The development of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has transformed genetics and gene editing. CRISPR’s precision and efficiency have allowed scientists to control and modify genetic material with unparalleled precision. This technology, however, presents a slew of ethical issues about its possible ramifications and implications. This essay will outline the CRISPR technology, discuss the ethical problems with CRISPR and conflicts surrounding it, as well as argue whether gene editing is ethical in general.
What Is the CRISPR Technology?
CRISPR technology is a genetic technique that allows researchers to alter particular genes in an organism’s DNA. The method employs a class of enzymes ...
