Editing CRISPR and the Ethics of Gene Editing (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''CRISPR-Cas9''' — (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). A "Molecular Tool" "Derived" from "Bacteria" that can "Cut" "DNA" at "Specific Locations."
* '''Gene Editing''' — The "Process" of "Inserting," "Deleting," or "Replacing" "DNA" "Sequences" in the "Genome" of a living organism.
* '''Jennifer Doudna & Emmanuelle Charpentier''' — The "Inventors": who "Won" the "Nobel Prize" (2020) for "Adapting" CRISPR for gene editing.
* '''Somatic Editing''' — Editing "Cells" that are **"Not"** "Passed On" to "Future Generations" (e.g. 'Curing Sickle Cell in an Adult').
* '''Germline Editing''' — Editing "Embryos," "Sperm," or "Eggs" so that the "Changes" **"Are"** "Inherited" by "All Descendants."
* '''Designer Babies''' — The "Controversial" "Concept" of "Selecting" or "Editing" "Embryos" for "Enhancement" (Intelligence, Appearance, Strength).
* '''Gene Drive''' — A "Technology" that "Forces" a "Specific Gene" to be "Passed On" to "All Offspring," "Quickly" "Spreading" it through a "Wild Population" (e.g. 'Making Mosquitoes Sterile').
* '''Off-Target Effects''' — "Unintended" "Edits" "Made" to the "Genome" by "Mistake," "Potentialy" "Causing" "Cancer" or "Disorders."
* '''Biohacking''' — The "Movement" of "Individuals" "Attempting" to "Perform" "Gene Editing" on "Themselves" "Outside" of "Regulated Labs."
* '''The He Jiankui Affair''' (2018) — The "First" (and highly illegal) "Birth" of "CRISPR-edited Twins" in China, "Leading" to "Global Outrage."
