Can we use gene editing instead of medicine to stay healthy?
A gene is a specific section of DNA that contains instructions for making proteins or controlling traits in your body. You can think of a gene as a recipe that tells your cells how to build something important.
Scientists used a gene-editing tool called CRISPR to create the first-ever personalized treatment for a baby born with a rare genetic liver disease. Researchers designed a custom gene therapy specifically for this baby's DNA. After receiving two doses the baby began eating more, needed less medicine, and showed a stronger immune system.
Imagine it’s the year 2051 and safe gene editing can get rid of your severe allergies. No more carrying around your epi-pen!
In the year [[lib1]], scientists discovered a new way to use gene editing to change [[lib2]].
This breakthrough began when [[lib3]] decided to edit genes to solve [[lib4]].
After the change, people noticed that [[lib5]] started happening all around the world.
Soon, gene editing was being used in [[lib6]], changing how things worked every day.
Some people felt [[lib7]] about these changes, while others felt [[lib8]].
To guide how gene editing was used, communities agreed on a rule called [[lib9]].
In this future, gene editing helped living things become more [[lib10]], and it taught humans an important lesson about [[lib11]].
