Thank you sir for bringing in focus about this exceptional phenomenon. The CRISPR technique is truly fascinating and can be used to remove genetic predisposition to debilitating diseases, thus saving many people. Yet enabling its widespread use is definitely a widely controversial issue from ethical point of view.
