The ethics side of the debate and comes down to this, I think: if we know, or we think we know, how to cure death sentence diseases like Huntington's, or the unnamed neonatal affliction that Doudna mentions, we should do that if the individuals are willing. To be clear, I don't have a tendency to get my science from conspiracy hypotheses, memes, or my friend Sarah who flunked out of grade eleven biology; I like to make informed decisions.

As Jan has mentioned, there are not enough stars for the work and dedication of the science community making such discoveries and moving mankind forward. I read The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race for a few reasons, one to have some talking points when people say nonsense about vaccines, and another because I always like to have a "respectable" book to talk to patients about so I don't have to reveal that I enjoy alien/human romances. We believe that books are a great way to raise awareness and improve understanding of different experiences. CRISPR (pronounced crisper) is an acronym for: clustered (C) regularly (R) interspaced (I) short (S) palindromic (P) repeats (R).I've taken it from five stars to four after mulling the book and having written the review, I realize I only want to give it three. Despite that, it was exciting to contemplate along with the author and the scientists Isaacson interviewed the many other ways mRNA technology could be used, such as developing more effective treatments for cancer and customizable vaccines for future novel viruses. Wondering why this was, I will preface this that there was a huge amount of science, very technical science which did bog down the story. But the EU would comply, the Anglophone world would, Japan and Korea and Taiwan and Singapore would.

Isaacson, who I've never read before but has written some acclaimed biographies, takes on an amorphous, complex scientific subject trying to cover many different aspects, and I don't think he ever really gets his arms around it. There is something fundamentally paternalistic and wrong if scientists feel that people should not have a choice. Another main character communicates with sign language while others have their own idiosyncrasies and overcome obstacles to contribute to a powerful team. Another important factor to consider is the ability for germline editing to further erode equality of opportunity within society.The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race (2021) is not your traditional biography. The Code Breaker is a gripping account of how the pioneering scientist Jennifer Doudna, along with her colleagues and rivals, launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and enhance our children. This is despite the book not having the best explanations of CRISPR/gene editing or with its pre-conceived take on various players' contributions.

Because besides ethical nightmares and gentlemen- and gentlewomen's agreements not to cross certain lines, those lines have been and are being crossed. The Codebreakers is widely regarded as the best account of the history of cryptography up to its publication. Personally, I hope they will be able to identify the genes that make a man unusually sticky and strangely flavorful and for the love of God turn them off). Gotta find the silver lining of how the pandemic has catalyzed some good things in addition to the bad!The science, a lot of it is minutiae and covering the scientists, the labs, the competition, the biotech companies, the patents, the prizes, the open sourcing, the biohackers, the uses and abuses, the personal traits of Watson and some others -- it's ironic because this technology depends on very specific sequences being worked out and inserted very carefully by very specific methods into very specific cells. Many naturalists, romantics, or religion-believers have debated against all types of scientific progress for centuries. Although, admittedly, the scientific and technical jargon became difficult to follow at times, there was often an under thread of competition and excitement that kept me reading. There's a parade of names and labs and biotech companies and they matter, but sometimes reading it felt like reading The Encyclopedia of Gene Editing, something I would never reach for. it was hinted at that there were some issues there) In reality, I was looking for the personal to be the main thrust of the book.
