The revolutionary role of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in genetic engineering and genomic research has been a topic of intense scientific debate recently. Originally discovered as part of the bacterial immune system, CRISPR-Cas9 has since been adopted as a precise method of genetic manipulation. The technology offers potential innovations in various scientific fields ranging from medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and more. Despite its promise, critics argue that this technology raises ethical concerns related to genetic modifications in human embryos and the unknown potential of manipulating DNA. While the tangibility of genetically modified human embryos seems dystopian, the potential to eradicate genetic disorders and diseases is indisputable. Thus, a balance must be struck between scientific progression and ethical responsibility. Further intensive research studies and ethical debates must ensue to dictate the future of CRISPR-Cas9 and its impact on humanity.
