Human genetic engineering is on its way. We must discuss the social and political implications. Now. I don't think it's an overstatement to say that CRISPR, a precise and efficient tool that allows us to edit genes, is on the verge of altering the course of human history to an extent far greater than the recent disruptions catalyzed by Internet technology. If you think digital surveillance are frightening enough in the hands of autocracy, consider the power to bend the human genome to one's will

But at the same time I am skeptic and apprehensive about the modification that human beings may desire, that the big corporates may desire, and the kind of experimentation mass level that may be done on human beings with the help of this technology. So again, it's a very good concern raised about CRISPR and we need to talk about this most of us, because these technologies which may not be very popular at this phase may become a critical nuisance in the days to come
