Our DNA is what makes us who we are – at least the physical aspects. Not going to talk about nature v. nurture, instead I am going to revel in the fact science is moving apace.
DNA editing happens, as this article explains, but prime editing takes it to another level.
I’ve also been watching a program about eugenics, which one might argue this gene editing could lead to. However, I believe there is a subtle difference and would still mean folk would be born but without issues or stigma associated to their physical being.
