Krátky popis
'An excellent, brisk guide to what is likely to happen as opposed
to the fantastically remote.' - Los Angeles Review of BooksIn 2018
the world woke up to gene editing with a storm of controversy over
twin girls born in China with genetic changes deliberately
introduced by scientists - changes they will pass on to their own
offspring. Genetic modification (GM) has been with us for 45 years
now, but the new system known as CRISPR or gene editing can
manipulate the genes of almost any organism with a degree of
precision, ease and speed that we could only dream of ten years
ago. But is it ethical to change the genetic material of organisms
in a way that might be passed on to future generations? If a person
is suffering from a lethal genetic disease, is it unethical to deny
them this option? Who controls the application of this technology,
when it makes 'biohacking' - perhaps of one's own genome - a real
possibility?Nessa Carey's book is a thrilling and timely snapshot
of a cutting-edge technology that will radically alter our futures
and the way we prevent disease.'A focused snapshot of a brave new
world.' - Nature 'A brisk, accessible primer on the fast-moving
field, a clear-eyed look at a technology that is already driving
major scientific advances - and raising complex ethical questions.'
- Emily Anthes, Undark
