CRISPR-Cas9 is a recently unveiled gene editing technology. Although there are benefits to it, the ability to customize embryos comes with many ethical downsides, one being the view of future children as "products." With the advancing technology, people will be able to change certain traits and "they don't "assist"—they replace fertility and procreation with reproduction in a sterile lab. Human beings are to be welcomed as gifts, not manufactured as products” (Anderson). As time goes on, it might keep going into viewing it as very mechanical, and not natural. Thre might also be other societal problems, such as certain genetic editied kids getting treated differently.

CRISPR CAS-9 is able to cut the gene at certain points. Doesn’t mean that every cut is precise. "According to recent studies CRISPR can cut the gene at the exact spot but that cut is not neat. Whenever a person's body is hurt it automatically starts to repair itself. When repairing itself from this imprecise cut it could make an alteration to the body, and it will not be an accurate outcome. (Malik)" This explains why many people are so skeptical about CRISPR because the outcome is not certain.

In the article, “Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn't Mean We Should,” Ryan T. Anderson states, “ Of course, we have no idea what the   consequences—both physical and social—will be to these genetic interventions.” (Anderson 14) Scientists don't exactly know the long term effects for these modifications. It's possible in the end it will cause more trouble and more embryos will be destroyed instead of actually being successful. Since “Countless embryonic human beings were killed in the process that led to the live birth of these two genetically modified children.” (Anderson 6) For some people it may seem harsh to discard these human lives as if they didn't matter. The unborn babies that were sacrificed so that these two embryos could live seems unfair and cruel. It's important to value life since it's always been a gift to have and not a way to customize a baby.

In the article “Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn’t Mean We Should, Ryan T Anderson states that one major risk of implementing CRISPR CAS-9 comes from not knowing the impact of any changes made in an individual’s DNA. With some changes, we can assume they are positive (like the work done to reduce sickle-cell syndrome) but deciding what modifications are deemed good and which are bad is arbitrary at best and “could be deployed in the hands of racist, eugenicist, or genocidal governments” (Anderson) at worst. And if that issue can be sidestepped, then we must face the issue of not knowing how editing a gene will affect surrounding attributes, or how an edited person will affect future generations. And even if we can perfectly control our gene modification, and decide on fair and effective traits to select for, introducing a scientific advancement like this into a capitalistic world can only serve to deepen the divide between the wealthy and the poor. Those who can afford to be designed will thrive, and those who cannot won’t. And soon job requirements will cater towards higher levels of performance made possible only through genetic enhancements, so those who can’t afford upgrades will also not have the upgrades needed to work to afford upgrades. Thus, the divide widens.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene-editing technology causing a major upheaval in biomedical research. It makes it possible to correct errors in the genome and turn on or off genes in cells and organisms quickly, cheaply and with relative ease. Gray is the first person with a genetic disorder to get treated in the United States with CRISPR."It's wonderful. It's the change I've been waiting on my whole life," Gray told NPR, which has had exclusive access to chronicle her experience over the past year.Studies have already tested CRISPR to treat cancer and a rare genetic condition that causes blindness. CRISPR enables scientists to make changes in DNA much more easily than before.

Nonetheless,there are ethical considerations when it comes to CRISPR by using it predominantly without consent ,for example the researchers conducting the study Gray started caution that it's too soon to reach any firm conclusions about the long-term safety and effectiveness of the approach. Gray is just one patient who has been followed for what is still a relatively short period of time, they noted.

CRISPR has ethical issue as well , issued an ethical review on genome editing. It their view genome; “generally refers to the entire sequence of DNA of an organism, which includes genes, the sequences of DNA with specific functions that are involved in the production of the proteins needed to carry out many biological roles”. It also includes “realms of DNA that promote or restrain gene activity that do not appear to have an effect on protein production or its function

One major risk of implementing CRISPR CAS-9 is the cultural impact it can cause. According to the article “Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn’t Mean We Should” Ryan Anderson points out CRISPR CAS-9 can set a new cultural shift with many consequences. With the advancement of these technologies, people can think “human life can be easily toyed with and discarded” (Anderson). This mindset shows how dangerous it is that society can think human life can be thrown away and changed  in an instant if it is not up to their expectations. It also proves how much society can change up very quickly. Another part is that there can be an even bigger class divide with CRISPR CAS-9 “where the wealthy” get the chance to “design super babies” and “everyone else remains unenhanced” (Anderson). This in particular is another shift of the balance and power of each social class. There is already a huge gap and CRISPR CAS-9 can divide it even further. The cultural impact caused by the use of CRISPR CAS-9 doesn’t provide any benefit for society because it imposes unrealistic mindsets and false promises that we can improve our quality of life very easily.

There are potential biological risks such as being able to cut genomes, but it will cause “considerable damage” and whether their entire lineage could be affected and won’t be able to tell until later in the future if genetic modification is performed on a wide scale. (Malik/Anderson) Malik states, “It will be a long time before such issues are resolved sufficiently even to contemplate human therapies.” (Malik) Changing genes would make future babies have a chance to possess something harmful without their permission and that is something that shouldn’t be acceptable. (Malik) This can change lives if done correctly, it can save people, but there are so many factors that could potentially be harmful. One of the short-term impacts is that society is against it because of all the risks. There have been two successful embryos created in China. (Anderson) Anderson explains, “First, countless embryonic human beings were killed in the process that led to the live birth of these two genetically modified children.” (Anderson)

The risks of using CRISPR CAS-9 are high considering you are having your DNA reconstructed and modified. Not only can it come with possible complications to the so-called, “designer babies”, but it came with countless deaths when experimenting with CRISPR. According to the article written by Anderson, “First, countless embryonic human beings were killed in the process that led to the live birth of these two genetically modified children.” This was how this process came to be. I understand that when it comes to experimenting with living organisms, it can result in the death of the organism. I would be content and a little more accepting of the process if the initial experimentation did not cause so much death and terminations of these human embryos. The article written by Anderson also talked about using CRISPR to genetically modify embryos to create “super soldiers”.  As big of a scientific revolution that would be, it would be a major risk in creating something extremely dangerous and a threat to society. Sometimes things in sci-fi movies should stay in movies.

The potential dangers of CRISPR-Cas9 are essentially Human lust for power and dominance. According to Anderson in the article, Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn't Mean We Should, the experimentation with "genetically modified babies is just the beginning of what could go wrong." The creation of the "Perfect Human" would just be the beginning of what is to come because some nations may take it a step further and start mass producing "Perfect Humans" for military use. In China's case, the "Perfect Human" been taken to whole new other level. "Beijing is already suspected of using CRISPR and other technologies to explore the possibility of producing so-called "super soldiers" with increased muscle mass, expanded cardiovascular capacity, and even improved vision at night" which could spell disaster if you consider the sci-fi horror. This mistake will bring the world into chaos no matter the outcome because many lives would be lost in the process.

CRISPR CAS- 9 is a form of biotechnology that is used to mutate people’s genes for scientific studies. Although CRISPR CAS-9 has the potential to cure multiple health diseases, it also has the potential to harm people now and future generations. One massive issue regarding this biotechnology is that it is genuinely dangerous for people to take part in. This research is unsafe, due to the fact that, “the science is in its infancy and techniques remain untested and hazardous … CRISPR does not cut the genome clearly but causes considerable damage” (Malik). CRISPR CAS-9 can harm many people, because scientists do not know every potential risk that comes as a result of this testing. For example, a woman underwent this testing, and while going through the process, there were some issues. This woman is Victoria Gray, and her, along with many other patients, experienced certain health complications during this study (Stein). This is an example of what could go wrong during this research process. Despite there being benefits to this biotechnology, the risks make it incredibly dangerous and worrying.

CRISPR/CAS9 something many scientist and reseacrhs have many oposing views on.  What is CRISPR it was found in a bacteria and is belived by scientist to be able to alter genes permantly not seemingly to be bad at first but theres alwalys downsides to this good things we find. One is that scientist dont really know the full capablites of this gene changing medical study trying to find out what it can really do puts human lifes at risk. Some scientist think this is a scientific break through and can have an new age on humanity as a whole. While other scientist find it morally irresiable to do studys on CRISPR/CAS9. NIH Diretor Francis says that doing these test "affects the next generation without their consent" and will have repercusions for the future. We really dont know how it will affect the future generation or how many human lifes this study will take to find out how CRISPR/CAS9 really works. Some sceintist think its safer to avoid human testing until we figure this all out.

One major risk with CRISPR is that editing one small section of genes will can have unknown consequences. Anderson who is the President at the Ethics and Public Policy Center covers the issues we encounter when editing genes. Nobody knows the possible health consequences when when it comes to knocking out certain genes and “even a small, well-intentioned modification could have large ramifications” (Anderson). Another risk is the ethical issue when it comes to creating designer babies. We might not be there at this moment but the editing of genes to create enhanced humans is not out of the picture. “Is it hubris to think science can circumvent evolution (or some would say God) and improve the species?”(Baker). Even though CRISPR has not reached its full potential, tinkering with genes is like opening up Pandora's box we do not know the repercussions and the effects it may have on humankind. With so much variables that have to be right for success I feel we have no right manipulating genes for our own human experiments.

New technology coming into the medical world is something we all expected to come one day. CRISPR-Cas9 “ biotechnology that allows scientist to genetically edit cells”  but, with experiments comes a risk factor. One of the risks of the ethical ideal of human embryos and what is to become of them. There is not too much research when it comes to this new project and there are still no guarantees and success rates. In many of the studies the scientist has the “remaining embryonic human beings are either frozen in perpetuity or destroyed” (Anderson) which is ethically immoral due to the lives that were wasted. It can also take away the human way of having children due to the idea of “designer babies” and can also “allow parents- or other authority- to dictate the characteristics of future people” (Anderson). People should not be able to decide how a child and the new future should be based on their own thoughts because they can be selfish and in the end can harm the child and future generations. The idea of “designer babies' ' should not be used for people's own benefits and ethically taking advantage of an idea that could be used for better ideals.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that is creating a buzz in the science world. It's a DNA sequence found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. It enables geneticists and medical researchers to edit parts of the genome. CRISPR/Cas9 technology is the potential for off-target genome editing effects. It can induce site- specific DNA mutations in human DNA. The editing caused unintended changes, such as loss of an entire chromosome or big chunks of it. Anderson cautions that such research threatens human dignity, creates obstacles to social justice, and requires the destruction of human embryos, which the author refers to as "embryonic human beings." Targeting hazardous genes could increase the risk. It can affect human embryos in unwanted ways.

CRISPR CAS-9 is a newer technology in the medical field that can customize a human being with features. With these customization options, there is a risk of ethical problems on the horizon. One risk that stands out, is the groups within society that are different if such editing takes place in the near future. “Editing may be morally permissible so long as it takes into account the welfare of the future person and does not produce a social division or disadvantage of groups within society”(Malik). In society today, there are different ethical groups, especially in America. If we continue this research and start editing and customizing humans, there is going to be utter confusion for ethnic purposes. The customization would be great if you are already affected by a disease and it needs to be cured, but to unborn babies it raises concerns for society in the future.

One risk to continuing research with CRISPR CAS-9 is the lack of morality in the new science. Because this genetic modification is conducted in the early stages of human life, ethical questions come into play to complicate the science. Ryan T. Anderson’s article, “Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn’t Mean We Should,” emphasizes the unethical severity of genetic modification. “As promising as that sounds, the deployment of gene-editing to human embryos is rife with ethical questions: concerns about experimentation on minors, human embryo destruction, the creation of life in a lab, 'designer babies,' 'the boundary between therapy and "enhancement,' and interventions in the genome that will be passed on to future generations” (Anderson). With further research, the morality of human life could change, and that is a potential threat to mankind. Anderson goes on to suggest that humanity could become governed by a “technocracy,” where technology governs humans. “New biotechnologies hold the potential to cure and prevent disease, to promote human flourishing—but only if the deployment of technology is governed by morality” (Anderson). As of currently, there’s no direct answer to what is and isn’t morally correct in the research of genetic engineering.

CRISPR-Cas 9 is the newest technology in the medical field that can be incredible but using this technology comes with plenty of risks. The CRISPR- Cas 9 is capable of changing bad DNA code and turn it into a good code so this gene editing tool can cure genetic diseases but theirs just so much wrong in continuing the experiments with CRISPR-Cas 9 . This study "uses human embryos to perform its experiments and with how controversial abortion is in todays world this can lead to many unhappy people as embryos are either being experimented on , frozen , or put to rest."   Another problem is we dont truly know how these modified babies will react to the real world will they act normal? Or is it obvious something isnt quite right with the child? Will mankind come to an end with this technology? These are all questions that are asked because we truly have no idea if these genetically modified kids will grow up to live a normal life. "    |With the use of this technology its like we are not even human anymore because sooner or later they will just be able to pick what they want and what traits they want in the kids because people arent man made in a lab they come from the beauty of life not by a machine to encode a perfect child.

I read about this in the article mentioned above and found it to be very provocative when relaying information on CRISPR technology. Should scientists be allowed to modify genes now, but, ignore the consequences of future generations?  That is something that is truly debatable and a risk factor to consider.

One major risk of implementing CRISPR CAS-9 is having this type of technology in the hands of the wrong person. In the article, they mention that if this technology gets into the hands of a racist person or the government trying to use this technology for the wrong reasons, it can become a big problem (Anderson, 2019). In my opinion, this is a major risk because if this CRISPR CAS-9 technology is used by the wrong people, then it can become a threatening weapon to society instead of helping people who have rare diseases that they got passed on by past generations. If this technology gets into the hands of someone who has a bad mindset of people and the world, it can lead to very huge concerns for society and future generations. Let’s say they try to edit someone’s genes that they weren’t supposed to mess with, then this can affect this person's health and the health of future generations. I can understand why people are worried that this CRISPR CAS-9 technology can cause major problems if this technology is handed to the wrong person because there’s a chance that they might use it for their benefit.

One major risk when using the CRISPR CAS-9 is that the modifying part in the human gene will carry over to future generations. The article states that having the ability to genetically modify human embryos will potentially affect their germline, which will then transfer to their future generations. So the Chinese babies that have been modified could have their entire lineage affected(Anderson, 2019). This was a good point brought up in the article that caught my attention. This biological risk affects the modified human positively, but unknowing what will happen to their lineage be affected would make a major risk factor. I could see why many would disapprove of the use of CRISPER CAS-9. It’s not fair for someone to be experimented on and gain something positive, without knowing the outcome of what their future generation would look like.

One primary risk of implementing CRISPR CAS-9 is that human life won't be considered valuable. In the article, "Just Because We Can Create Genetically Modified Babies Doesn't Mean We Should," Ryan Anderson explains that as science advances, human life, modified or not, will be viewed as something that can be easily toyed with and discarded. (Anderson, 2019) This cultural risk is crucial because it would affect the person who is modified and society's view. People would now think that our life would be easily replaceable with something better than the last. The impact of this risk in the long-term is how society would deal with the modified or not human beings. Would they not care about the modified human beings anymore or toss the new modified humans if it is not up to their standards? Human life is essential, altered or not. As Anderson explains in his article, if we progress into the new biotechnologies, human life will be like an item instead of something vital that you are holding on with.
