CRISPR Explained - Joy and Horror (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636841816)

CRISPR is used and abused. Fictional examples provided. Moral and ethical issues are explored. Anyone can buy a starter CRISPR DNA editing kit on the internet for under $100. The thought of some clever Biology student editing virus RNA to produce a highly contagious designer disease that could escalate into a pandemic scares the bejesus out of me. In the right hands CRISPR can be a joy. In the wrong hands CRISPR can be a horror. We need to regulate its use.
