Why is CRISPR a game-changer? Efficiency Specificity Cost
Current uses of CRISPR: basic research
Current uses of CRISPR: basic research
Current uses of CRISPR: genetic modification of whole organisms Nature 553: 217-221, 11 Jan 2018
Newly developing uses of CRISPR: Diagnostic tests for viruses
Developing uses of CRISPR: Ex vivo genetic modification of human cells
Developing uses of CRISPR: genetic modification of human embryos
Ethical Concerns: Human germline modifications ● Practical considerations: PGD parallels ● Ethical considerations for changing future generations: ○ Autonomy and self-determination ○ Unintended consequences ○ Nature of humanity
