The Gene Changing Discovery CRISPR




CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat is a new gene editing tool we all need to be aware of.

   In the future, cancer, aging and diseases could be ended. 
Scientists just started a trial of taking cancer cells out of patients, changing the genetic code and infusing them back into the patients.  This could be great, but what about other diseases like Huntington’s disease or Down’s Syndrome.   Shouldn’t those people be loved and accepted just the way they are?  Well, they aren’t!  90% of babies with Down’s Syndrome are aborted!  In my opinion in the hands of the right person this could be great.  But in the hands of Socialists, we could have our DNA changed for evil purposes.
