The genome is the text and history within our body and now we have the tool to edit everything from the human body and plant genome which will advance us to a point were we can save trillions of dollars globally while protecting us from all diseases and famine.
CRISPR can make our food drought and insect resistant which will eliminate the use of pesticides and the over use of our finite resource we call H20.
Imagine a world were children and loved ones wont have to suffer diseases and enjoy a healthy life until that one day we all pass to some other existence.
CRISPR will change and revolutionize the way we practice medicine. Big pharma will definitely be a huge opponent because they cant profit from it! It will change our society and society will benefit from using this great technology. It's just like a tv that never breaks down because it has the right components to keep it working.
Imagine your child or parents contract cancer and their prognosis that leads to a death sentence. No one will receive such news that they will die in a certain amount of time.
Do you want people you love and adore to suffer and die? CRISPR is the answer to eliminate these diseases and end our early death sentences and will eliminate those words from doctors there is nothing we can do. Do not let our government block or control CRISPR it is our right to live a healthy life and enjoy our 80 to 120 years on this planet as a healthy fully functional human being.
Prof. Emmanuelle Charpentier is a MPI Infection Biologist in Berlin and thanks to her we have CRISPR. In her words we have the advantage to harness the power to help the evolution of life.
Our genome is like the book of life. An incredibly long text with billions of letters. But sometimes you get typos: mutations. And they can lead to diseases. This is where CRISPR comes in. The molecule works like a pair of scissors that correct those typos and can alter the text of the genome.
Gennetisist around the world are exploring the possibilities of the new tool that works with plants, animals and humans. It can fundamentally change agriculture as well as medicine. For the vast growing sick children it will change their life allowing them to life a full life to not be cut short by disease that can prematurely end their life in their single digits or early adulthood. CRIPSR is the salvation for anyone with incurable disease. No one has the right to block such a technology because no one can give millions a death sentence based on their beliefs or profit margins.
Seeing that we have the coronavirus hitting the world just imagine the human body not being affected by such dangerous viruses. We could make our bodies immune to these killers of mankind!
The big fear is companies like monsantos that uses genetically modified foods. It is a very different kind of editing because they splice the plant genome with poison that are harmful to the human body. Yes that is insane to put poison in food we ingest so let's not link the good with the bad and call it the same.
Genome editing doesn't have to be a sequence of putting harmful poisons in our food. It can do the opposite and make our plants and bodies function in a way that keep us healthy to live a full life and impact our food in a way that make them healthier for our survival as a species.
There is no reason to fear such a technology as CRISPR due to the benefits it will bring to every human life on planet earth. It's a discovery that should be available to everyone because everyone has the right to live a healthy life free of disease and illness.

Nice essay. I agree. I saw a show that had some guys who were using this in interesting ways, one made a frog glow or something. I see the possible benefits, and am all for any scientific advance; my only problems come with application by capitalists who will make changes which are untested, basically, and possibly harmful. But we may need to adjust quick as hell into beings that can breath another atmosphere, of mostly carbon.... underground in labs by then. I am down on the idea that the Chicago Tribune reports tRump's old epa saying there will be a seven to nine degree rise in temperature in the next hundred years. I mean, we seem out of time Jimmy. I say now the only thing poet can do is commiserate the masses. Maybe this is a way of offering some hope, I do not know. I am sick and very fucking tired though of people of supposedly morality who fear science, and stop advances they basically know nothing about. These politicians don't even fucking read the bills they pass. They just make a deal that they get a rider in there for money in their district and go along. I am tired of the prejudice that is stopping my brother from being helped by stem cells. My spine could be cured by stem cells. But the idiots have it in their mind using cells from aborted babies is 'distasteful' to their God. Like Nietzsche said: I will believe in your redeemer, when you begin to act redeemed. I write this as someone who is religious in a vague way of liberal Christian values and God over me, but they forget how progressive their Jesus was, not conservative. In that time by the way they only crucified rebel soldiers, zealots, they cut thieves hands off. So Jesus would have died a revolutionary with two comrades by his side..... the bullshit they put in later -- I think of death of religion now as God shaking off the lies of man. Sorry to go.... your righteous indignation was catching.
