Situation: CRISPR/Cas9 edits genes by precisely cutting DNA and then
letting natural DNA repair processes to take over. The system consists
of two parts: the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA. Rapidly translating a
revolutionary technology into transformative therapies.

Part A: Imagine you have a pet who is
experiencing a genetic disease. Would you
use the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to help
them battle and overcome the disease? Why
or why not?
Part B: Explain the ethical issues related to
using this technology on humans.
