Make sure to give your original post a descriptive title so we all will quickly know your topic. The Introduction: Gene editing and manipulation is a newer, but rapidly growing field. We have the ability to change, add or delete genes in human embryos, adults and plants alike. We are going to explore both of these topics for this forum. You are to CHOOSE ONE of the ideas below and follow the direction. The Objective: Understand the methods and impacts of gene editing on humans and plants Choice 1: Editing Human Embryos and Adults With respect to gene editing in human embryos, most research is focused on fixing or removing harmful mutations that may cause diseases, but there are some fears of creating designer babies. In addition, we can edit the genes in adults, if we use a targeted approach. Read the articles below, and then respond to the prompt. Pro and Con: Should Gene Editing be Performed on Human Embryos? Pro by Harris (2016) and Con by Darnovsky (2016). https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/08/human-gene-editing-pro-con-opinions/ A human has been injected with gene-editing tools to cure his disabling disease.

Now What?

Make sure to add a descriptive title so that others know what you are discussing. Briefly summarize the main take home points of the research make sure to include scientific terminology and discussion (remember, we are in a biology class!). Some questions to consider: What is your take on the research? Are there any benefits and/or costs? Should we be focusing on this? Is there reason for concern?
