Human Embryo Editing

Human embryo editing involves changing the genetic makeup of a fertilized egg to potentially remove or alter specific genes. Scientists use advanced techniques, like CRISPR, to precisely cut and modify DNA sequences, aiming to prevent inherited diseases or improve health. This process is carefully controlled and raises ethical considerations, as modifications can be passed to future generations. While it holds promise for preventing genetic disorders, it remains a complex and sensitive area of research, requiring thorough understanding, regulation, and debate before widespread application.
