CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene-editing technology that has the ability to modify, insert and delete heritable genes. In 2015, CRISPR-Cas9 was used on human embryos by a Chinese research team, to edit out a genetic mutation. After the experiment’s publication, organizations such as the National Institute for Health in the United States stopped funding research regarding genome-editing in human embryos. The primary reason for controversy regarding this experiment is the fact that the edited embryo has the potential to become a human, in which case genetically editing humans is possible. The question of…
