The Risks of Gene Editing

The video discusses the complexities and ethical concerns of gene editing, particularly with CRISPR technology. It highlights the legal constraints in various countries, including Singapore, and the potential risks associated with gene editing, such as mosaicism and unintended DNA changes. The video also explores the implications of germline editing, where genetic changes can be passed to future generations, emphasizing the need for caution and regulation.
