Question

what are 8 pro facts and 8 con facts about gene editing and CRISPR-Cas9. Moreover, would you agree that CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in human embryos would have a positive outcome?

Answer 1

Question

The prons of CRISPR technique are:

I. The CRISPR technology is simple

II. Have high efficiency

III. Take less time for gene editing

IV. Cure genetic disorder

V. Have high accuracy

VI. Is used for rapid diagnosis of disease

VII. Help in the research of disease like mental health

VIII. Can be used in large scale

The cons of CRISPR and technique are:

I. Sometime can alter function of the gene.

II. Sometime it is not targeted.

III. May rise to genomic instability.

IV. Can cause problem in clinical procedure

V. Increased risk of developing cancer.

VI. Possibility of use in bioterrorism.

VIII. Unintended use for future generations.

Yes, I agree that CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in human embryos would have a positive outcome because it reduces the time to target gene as compare to other techniques.
