When it comes to the topic of CRISPR-Cas9, a rising technology that allows geneticists and medical researchers to edit and change parts of the genome by removing, adding or just replacing parts to the DNA sequence, most people would readily agree that this technology should be extinct in this world and scientist should examine and test all possible experiments about the genetic sequence because of its potential benefits. CRISPR-Cas9 could be easily used to cure organisms’ genetic disease. Not only humans obtain an enormous benefit from the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, however, monkeys, fishes and other species can be edited as well.
Despite its potential drawbacks, CRISPR-Cas9 technology is currently the simplest, most versatile and precise method …show more content…
According to an evidence from a story that appears in the August 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine, “The technology has already transformed cancer research by making it easier to engineer tumor cells in the laboratory, then test various drugs to see which can stop them from growing.” It supports this argument because it mentions that the CRISPR-Cas9 technology can operate the genome by testing different drugs to see which can stop the growth of cancer. Furthermore, it does not only provide a set of readily programme tools, but can also infer that this technology has already transformed to check about the cancer research as it is easier to examine the tumor cells in the laboratory. Hank Greely, the director of Stanford’s Center for Law and the Bioscience, explained “Although it is clearly too soon to contemplate using CRISPR in viable human embryos. There are other ways of editing human germ line that could cure diseases without changing the genetic lineage of our species”. It undoubtedly acknowledges that the CRISPR-Cas9 system has it’s particular way of editing the human germ line that could cure diseases without changing the original genetic sequence. This alone allows the CRISPR-Cas9 to operate a medication on diseases without making any change to the initial genetic …show more content…
As stated in an article “The Genesis Engine” by Amy Maxmen, “A month after the Napa conference, researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, announced they had used CRISPR to edit human embryos. Specifically they were looking to correct mutations in the gene that causes beta thalassemia, a disorder that interferes with a person's ability to make healthy red blood cells. Due to the fact that the twins’ healthy birth marks the first time CRISPR has been used to selectively alter multiple genes in primates—a development that could greatly improve our ability to understand congenital diseases.” This indeed benefit people with genetic disinfection which can repair the disability genomes. While Christiana Care News is also probably right when it claims that “When used in gene editing with the CRISPR-Cas9 technique, can promote the repair of genetic mutations which help to achieve a cleaner “cut” of the gene and reduce the degree of genetic fraying that occurs during gene editing,” it is right that editing genomes with CRISPR-Cas9 can absolutely boost up the replacement of gene and genetic defraying that occurs in genetic editing. CRISPR technology is a productive machinery that scientists should immediately do more research
