CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary tool for genetic engineering that allows scientists to precisely alter DNA within living organisms. Sickle cell disease is a terrifying problem prevalent in Mississippi. CRISPR-Cas9 can be used to correct the genetic mutation that causes sickle cell disease by editing the patient's stem cells to produce healthy red blood cells. Trial runs using this solution have been performed in Mississippi, and CRISPR has been proven to have the potential to change the medical world.
