INVOLVEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN EXISTENCE

In today’s world, we as humans always wonder about the unusual pace and nature of technological changes around us. For once, have we ever thought about the world we are modifying so rapidly!

CRISPR AS A REVOLTIUON IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE

Undoubtedly the involvement of technologies in human life depends upon how impactful or evolutionary those technologies are going to be. But when it comes to bio engineering technologies like CRISPR, which are qualitatively very different and powerful that it may even question the essence of humanity, we are not very sure that we have begun to understand the implications.

When it comes to the role of technology in human life, we studied the fields of science which involve redesigning organisms to fulfil purposes more efficiently by engineering them to have new abilities.The CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has been used to correct DNA mutations ranging from single base pair to large deletions in both in vitro and in vivo model systems and has been proved to be a very simple and adaptable method that enables the generation of genetically modified cells and organisms. All in all, it can be said that CRISPR is a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell, and thereafter that piece of DNA is altered.

It will likely impact the world by treating medical conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Also it could aid in developing new drugs to treat serious medical conditions like Cancer or HIV as it could give a more personalised treatment plants with the best possibility of success.

HOW CRISPR MADE HEADLINES

CRISPR baby scandal is what is making headlines in the human race!

This is because by engineering mutations into human embryos which are then used to produce babies will affect the future of this field.

HOW IS CRISPR DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS METHODS? This fascinating and powerful technology is different from the methods that have been used to manipulate genetics before as the previously attempted gene editing technology include ways to manipulate genetic information in blocks but the power of this technology is that it comes down to a very individual level in our human body. So the precision is far better than anything that has happened before! CONCLUSION

So in all, we need to be asking specific questions about what we are gaining and what we are losing out of this technology and if we are losing, we should be rapidly shifting our attention to the changes that can be made to cut out all the unpredictable or unforeseen harms of this powerful technology.
