In a landmark study, scientists have used CRISPR gene editing to introduce beneficial natural mutations into blood cells to boost their production of foetal haemoglobin.
The scientific world is fascinated by the gene editing technique CRISPR but we must seriously consider the ethics of changing genes, writes Merlin Crossley.
The debate about gene editing is not just whether we should allow or prohibit it. The real questions are far more subtle and interesting, write Nicole A Vincent and Emma A Jane.
