address about responsible use of gene editing in future.
“What if a cell’s DNA could be edited
just like the text of a document so that you could actually erase letters, you
could erase whole sentences, [you could] replace sentences, and you could do

genetic disease, make changes that allow us to understand the function of DNA
and different kinds of organisms and perhaps, enable us to really direct the
way that organisms are evolving on the planet?”
