Many innovations in biotechnology are derivatives of a naturally occurring biological process.
RNAi and the CRISPR-Cas 9 system are both contemporary examples of this. These techniques
offer clear advantages with respect to basic research, the potential to treat disease, and the ability
to edit genes with great accuracy. With technology, however, comes responsibility. Just because
you can do something, in vitro or in vivo, doesn't always mean that you should do it. So where
do you draw the line?
