Editing Humanity: The CRISPR Revolution and the New Era of Genome Editing,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
One of the world's leading experts on genetics unravels one of the most important breakthroughs in modern science and medicine.If our genes are, to a great extent, our destiny, then what would happen if mankind could engineer and alter the very essence of our DNA coding? Millions might be spared the devastating effects of hereditary disease or the challenges of disability, whether it was the pain of sicklecell anemia to the ravages of Huntingtons disease.But this power to play God also raises major ethical questions and poses threats for potential misuse. For decades, these questions have lived exclusively in the realm of science fiction, but as Kevin Davies powerfully reveals in his new book, this is all about to change.Engrossing and pageturning, Editing Humanity takes readers inside the fascinating world of a new gene editing technology called CRISPR, a highpowered genetic toolkit that enables scientists to not only engineer but to edit the DNA of any organism down to the individual building blocks of the genetic code.Davies introduces readers to arguably the most profound scientific breakthrough of our time. He tracks the scientists on the front lines of its research to the patients whose powerful stories bring the narrative movingly to human scale.Though the birth of the CRISPR babies in China made international news, there is much more to the story of CRISPR than headlines seemingly ripped from science fiction. In Editing Humanity, Davies sheds light on the implications that this new technology can have on our everyday lives and in the lives of generations to come.
