College Students Show How Easy It Is to Use Terrifying Genetic Engineering Technology

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, genetics, habitats

The gene drive is quickly becoming one of the most controversial technologies of our time. Its possibilities are at once spectacular and alarming: by using genetic engineering to override natural selection during reproduction, a gene drive could allow scientists to alter the genetic makeup of an entire species. This could be used to eliminate diseases and protect natural habitats —but could also go horribly wrong in the wrong hands.
