While the process of synthesizing and arranging genetic code has many processes, perhaps none has been as promising as the CRISPR-Cas system. From laboratory experiments is emerging software code used to create genetically almost as easily as code for a computer, gene editing has never been easier, opening the door to never-before-possible applications. Perhaps no technology has yet been poised to change the world so profoundly. All life on Earth, every living organism, now stands The Possibility of Potentially being “edited” on the most basic genetic level, enhancing or degrading it, but changing it forever.
Talk of gene usually we revolves around editing its use to treat diseases and produce super-crops and livestock to “save the world.” But as history has shown us, any shoe technology is a double-edged sword. Whatever good it is capable of, it is proportionally capable of just as much bad.
The first and foremost danger of human gene editing in Particular is its use in weaponized vaccines. Such fears are founded upon what was revealed by the United Nations during the apartheid government in South Africa where a government program named “Project Coast” actually endeavored that produce vaccines That were race-specific in hopes of sterilizing or killing off its black population.
Another danger is “slow kill.” This would be the process of using gene editing it: affect Individuals Directly or through a genetically modified food supply subtly, infecting or killing off the targeted demographic groups over a longer period of time. The advantage of this method would be the ambiguity surrounding what was Causing upticks in “cancer” and other maladies brought on by degraded immune systems and overall health.
