  • Gene editing allows scientists to change gene sequences by adding, replacing or removing sections of DNA.
    This animation explains how this technology works, as well as its possible ethical and societal implications.
    Produced by the Royal Society in conjunction with Wellcome Trust.

    What if gene editing can be used by certain groups of people for solely malicious intent? Like what if it gets into the wrong hands, and an accidental discovery of a new gene combination that leads to a new disease can be spread around?

    Regarding; Genetic Repair.
    Try using a small amount
    (1 tenth to 1/8 of a gram)
    of the amino acids
    L-Ornithine +L-Arginine, subcutaneously.
    This will trigger a molecular chain reaction, as in chemical bonding, that will correct ANY errors in your genome.
    Good luck and God bless.

      Designer babies are a bad idea. We have seen with dogs and cats what it can do. The problem is that it’s other people who are designing you. What if your mom wants you to be a freak show because that appeals to her?

      It has the potential to be a bad thing. Many moms will want their kid to stand out and order purple eyes for example. And then that kid wlmay have a difficult life as a result. I think there should be law that it used only medical reasons or will have clear benefits not pointless cosmetics.
