Question

CRISPR-Cas9 and Plant Breeding There is many ethical debates regarding the development and use of genetically modified organisms (GMO). Now with the new gene editing technique of CRISPR-Cas9, a new debate is emerging. Although many people have heard of the ethical debate with the gene editing of the human germline, we now must address the issue of using gene-editing to alter food sources. Start with reading the following brochure from the ISAAA: CRISPR-Cas9 Pocket K Plants.pdf PRIMARY POST: Then, using what you have learned, address the following questions in 250 words or more: To what extent should CRISPR use be permitted for non-therapeutic purposes? Should CRISPR be used for plant breeding? Why or why not? Who should have access to CRISPR technology and/or its products? Should international regulations governing CRISPR use be crafted and promulgated?
