Mad scientists to fall back on “CRISPR off switch” in case human gene editing goes horribly wrong
The gene editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 has been a subject of controversy ever since it was developed. CRISPR -Cas9 gives scientists the ability to conduct genome editing with a quickness and ease never seen before. Regardless of the inherent concerns that come along with gene editing, this technology has undoubtedly changed the world of […]

CRISPR gene editing may wipe out human geniuses and dumb down human civilization to “conforming” average
The biotechnology technique known as CRISPR has brought down the costs of genetic engineering by 99 percent and slashed the time required to create new modifications to a matter of weeks. And while Frankenfood companies such as Monsanto are already eagerly pursuing this technology in their efforts to gain more control over the food supply, the most […]

Genetic engineering being ‘biohacked’ by terrorists to create low-cost biological weapons
An Oxford University academic is saying that national security agencies in England and elsewhere have a new concern: Amateur “biohackers” who use established genome-editing techniques to create biological weapons. As reported by the UK’s Independent, these biohackers would be ordinary folks who then edit genes to alter existing life forms, a practice that could lead […]

Biotech scientists now raising human–animal chimeras on U.S. farms
Despite a funding ban, several U.S. research facilities are moving forward with experiments that could produce human–animal chimeras. The possibility is fueled by scientists attempting to grow human organs inside animals like sheep and pigs. Approximately 20 animals have been impregnated with human organs in the last year under the watchful eyes of American universities. […]
