I, as a believer of science, thinks this is a beneficial study. However, it’s still in the stages of experiment, thus, deficiencies can occur but this information gives the medical professionals a better understanding of their field. Biologist Paul Knoepfler “estimates that within fifteen years, scientists could use the gene editing …show more content…
Since, it’s been a widely controversial matter. Children with Down Syndrome, Spinal Muscular Disorder, and Huntington's Disease are deemed as “undesirable” to society. CRISPR technology had good intentions but parents abused this technology to satisfy their wants and create, in their eyes this “perfect” child.

I believe the parents have the best interest at heart. Wanting the baby to strive and flourish in
