CRISPR is a revolutionary gene-editing tool with the potential to eliminate diseases like malaria. It works by programming RNA to guide DNA scissors to specific genome locations, allowing precise genetic modifications. CRISPR has drastically reduced the time and cost of genetic engineering. Its applications range from making mosquitoes immune to malaria to potential human therapies. However, ethical concerns arise, especially regarding human genome alterations. An international summit has set guidelines to ensure responsible use. The technology's promise is immense, but careful consideration is needed to balance benefits and risks.
