What the CRISPR Embryo Editing Study Really Taught Us

The video discusses a study using CRISPR-Cas9 to edit human embryos, focusing on the Mybpc3 gene linked to heart disease. The study found a new DNA repair mechanism where embryos used healthy egg DNA to fix mutations, suggesting a natural resistance to genetic changes. This discovery could impact future genetic engineering and IVF practices, though legal and ethical challenges remain.

What implications does the study have for the future of genetic engineering in humans?
