Harnessing the Power of CRISPR: Ethical Implications and Future Applications

Abstract

The advent of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering, offering unprecedented capabilities in gene editing. This paper explores the ethical implications of CRISPR, including concerns surrounding bioethics, genetic equity, and ecological impacts. It also examines future applications in medicine, agriculture, and beyond, positing that while CRISPR holds immense potential for societal benefit, careful consideration of its ethical dimensions is essential for responsible use
