The Transformative Potential of CRISPR Gene Editing in Shaping the Future of Human Health and Society

Abstract

The advent of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene-editing technology has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering, offering unprecedented precision, efficiency, and accessibility. This article proposes the hypothesis that CRISPR-based gene editing will fundamentally reshape medicine, agriculture, and human evolution within the next century, while simultaneously introducing complex ethical, social, and ecological challenges. By examining current applications, potential future developments, and associated risks, this article explores whether CRISPR represents a beneficial leap forward or a disruptive force requiring stringent regulation.
