A cartoon about genetic engineering

Genetic engineering will change everything and forever – CRISPR

Mikhail Romkin, Naked Science

Designing children, putting an end to diseases and aging – amazing things that used to be just science fiction suddenly become reality. The only thing we know for sure is that everything will change irreversibly.

What is happening with genetic engineering today is reminiscent of the changes that have been brought into our lives over the past few decades thanks to the development of computer technology. Things like eradicating diseases, canceling aging, and designing children are made possible by the new CRISPR technology.

The editors of Naked Science have prepared a translation of an educational video that tells about where genetic engineering came from, what humanity is doing with it now and about a recent breakthrough that will forever change our way of life and our perception of normal.
