![]() This book is the Turkish translation of A Crack in Creation, originally published by Houghton. The basic fear remains that a maverick scientist, or very much worse a maverick state, will attempt to exploit this technology to create an unprincipled and immoral advantage, whether in humans, plants, animals, or the microbiological world. Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution. Dounda convened “The IGI Forum on Bioethics”, with the objective of creating and seeking a global consensus to prevent any misuse of this powerful new technique. Consequently, CRISPR experimentation is growing exponentially, mostly in plant and animal research, but not all necessarily having wholly acceptable targets. ![]() Any conventionally equipped biological laboratory with the necessary expertise can research the area at a starting cost of about $2000. It is, however, a technology, so powerful it also provides opportunities for mischief, especially since there is no trace of the genome once the gene editing process is complete. ![]() Some 10 years later, logic and inspirational tenacity have resulted in the most powerful tool ever thought possible, one that manipulates the DNA code in infinite ways. A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution (Unabridged). ![]() ![]() Although the DNA structure was elucidated in 1953, a further 50 years elapsed before the Human Genome Project provided not only the exact positioning of the 3.7 billion individual ‘letters’ that make up the code, but also the methodology to map the defects in the genes that cause hereditary diseases. ![]()
