The Problem With CRISPR
I have no problem with people deciding to CRISPR themselves if they really insist they want to do so. The thing that would stand between somebody doing that and then causing a massive global pandemic or even a localised outbreak of a dreadful disease would simply be the fact that it's relatively easy to do the CRISPR. It's really quite hard to grow up large quantities of really dangerous bacteria and viruses in your garage. That requires sophisticated equipment. I mean, you've got the bid we ever interfere with the potential of a human to make a complete agent of themselves and to do something really dumb. We should all be allowed to be as ridiculously dumb as possible.
