In the past few years, thanks to the discovery and development of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, gene editing has moved from being a science fiction dream to a real possibility. This technology, which uses a bacterial protein to act as molecular scissors, allows scientists to target and cut DNA at specific points and then insert, delete or replace specific genetic sequences. The possibilities of gene editing are vast and diverse, ranging from curing genetic disorders and diseases to creating genetically modified organisms and enhancing human traits. However, amid the excitement and potential of gene editing technology, there are also concerns and ethical considerations that need to be addressed. Regulations and Guidelines Given the potential risks and ethical implications of gene editing, it is crucial to have robust and well-defined regulations and guidelines governing its use. Various international institutions, including the World Health Organization and the United Nations Educational, Sci...
