The Psychology of Revolution

“CRISPR” is a powerful gene-editing technology that is revolutionising biomedical research. It allows researchers to quickly, and cheaply, target and edit genes at precise locations along the long DNA chains of organisms. The big hope is that CRISPR (pronounced “crisper”) could help researchers correct mutations in the human genome, effectively treating genetic diseases. But some fear CRISPR might lead to the creation of designer babies or unleash consequences we cannot predict. “Think of it like editing text,” says Dr Janet Rossant, a researcher who uses CRISPR in her lab at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. “You can cursor in, and you delete a few words, paste in a little sentence.
