Aujourd'hui, prenons un pas en arrière pour discuter des impacts non-génétiques du CRISPR-Cas9. Qu'en penses-tu : l'édition génétique est-elle un produit complètement rose ? Quelles seront ses implications génétiques, épidémiologiques, sociétales, économiques, et éthiques ? Comme société, est-ce que notre culture de perfectionnement personnel et communautaire nous limite psychologiquement d'une utilisation responsable de l'édition génétique ?

Un grand bienvenue pour Erica, notre nouvelle hôte qui vous parlera à la prochaine fois !
