(World News Science)

When it comes to gene editing, nothing has looked more promising than CRISPR. Over the past few years, CRISPR has made massive leaps forward in what may be possible through editing our DNA. But in amongst all the possibilities and excitement, serious concerns have been raised. The field of gene editing needs to be researched extremely carefully to prevent unintended consequences, and whilst our genes are still being understood, human editing is extremely risky. Whilst accurate to a degree, genetic editing can be directed to the wrong areas by similar sequences that exist...
