CRISPR 2.0, the Next Generation

History was made this year when the first FDA-approved CRISPR-based gene editing therapy became available to patients, designed to cure sickle cell anemia. That represents ground-breaking progress, but the treatment involves a months-long ordeal with often-brutal side effects and it is hugely expensive. With dozens of CRISPR therapeutics in the second phase of human trials, hopes run high that next-generation approaches will be easier and cheaper to deliver and more patient friendly. The payoff could be major progress in treating blood disorders, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infectious diseases.

People are resentful towards people who are hostile and resentful towards people of the middle and higher class. Imagine how they’ll feel once they realize that their kids have to compete with kids who are genetically modified.
