In recent years, there has been huge leaps in a field that would present enormous potential for science and medicine: genome editing “Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 is a gene-editing technology [that] makes it possible to correct errors in the genome and turn on or off genes in cells and organisms quickly, cheaply and with relative ease.” (Redman, 1) It can already repair DNA and cure genetic disorders in mice and reports claim that it could be applied to human embryos, among other uses. Whether research should be conducted on viable embryos is highly…
