CRISPR has always felt like the beginning of a Zombie movie to me.

Not that I'm against science and progress.

But we know so little about genomes at this point.

I'm just waiting for something really bad to come of this...

Definitely hoping scientists tread slowly and carefully here...

guilty of not reading article... but who could have guessed slicing an enormous code base and replacing it willy nilly would lead to mistakes
