A close mentor of mine has been working on private cancer research for close to three decades and just recently retired. He was both incredibly hopeful and positively terrified of CRISPR.

He explained CRISPR as "one of the crucial technologies we don't yet have the wisdom to wield"

I recently learned (I believe on here, in the past week), CRISPR was used to develop a genetic treatment on the first human patient to solve an inherently genetic disorder.

I'm honestly terrified we're accelerating our technology faster than our societies can adapt to the potential threats they may pose.
