 USE THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH A RECENT SCIENTIFIC OR
TECHNOLOGICAL INVENTION THAT HAS CHANGED PEOPLE'S
LIVES. ON A SHEET OF PAPER, WRITE A REPORT ABOUT IT

The invention that I researched is the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing

technology. CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene editing technology
that enables scientists to modify genes within living organisms quickly
and accurately. CRISPR-Cas9 has transformed the field of genetics by
making gene editing accessible and easy to use, enabling researchers
to manipulate DNA with unprecedented precision. CRISPR-Cas9
technology has opened up new possibilities in genetic research, from
curing genetic diseases to creating genetically modified crops. One of
the most significant advantages of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology is
that it can help cure genetic diseases. Researchers have used
CRISPR-Cas9 to modify the genes of patients with genetic disorders,
such as sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis, which were previously
thought to be incurable. CRISPR-Cas9 technology has also been used
to create genetically modified crops that can help feed the world's
growing population. Despite its many benefits, CRISPR-Cas9 is not
without its ethical concerns. Critics worry that the technology could be
used to create genetically modified organisms that pose a risk to
human health and the environment. There are also concerns about the
use of CRISPR-Cas9 in modifying the human germ line, which could
result in permanent changes to the human genome.
