    Okay, just so I’m completely clear on this, are they a) claiming that CRISPR is some kind of danger to the world, or b) debunking such claims about it?

      Sometimes in this world, we’ll see things that just aren’t for us. You had no interest in the video and that’s absolutely okay. The best practice would’ve been just to scroll on by.

      Anyway, have a wonderful day. ☺

        I take it from your non-answer that it’s exactly what I suspected.

        For the record, CRISPR is an amazing technology that is producing potential gene therapies for otherwise-untreatable illnesses. Just yesterday, Nature published an article detailing a promising treatment for HIV.

        And fear mongers would try to scare terminally ill people away from treatments like that.

        So no, I will not just “scroll on by” when I see something that tries to make people mistrust the medical science that could save their lives.
