Hot Topics in Life Sciences: CRISPR Technology

Widely referred to as a game-changing genetic engineering technique, CRISPR is the most precise gene editing method, allowing scientists to detect and rewrite genetic code. It has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry, where it is showing early promise in the treatment of cancer, sickle cell anemia, and other disorders. But powerful new technologies like CRISPR invariably pose risks for patients and raise novel legal questions that eventually must be answered.
