Crispr technology is a revolutionary gene-editing tool that has the potential to revolutionize science, medicine and agriculture. It is based on a naturally occurring defense system found in some bacteria, which allows them to recognize foreign DNA and cut it out of their genome. The Crispr/Cas9 system was adapted from this natural process by scientists who identified its potential as an efficient way to edit genes with precision accuracy.  The use of Crispr technology holds immense promise for medical research; it could be used to treat genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia by editing the defective gene responsible for these conditions. In addition, researchers are now exploring ways in which it can be applied beyond human health applications into areas like crop improvement or even creating new species entirely through targeted genetic engineering techniques.  Finally, many ethical questions have been raised about using this powerful tool on hu...
