Terapia de genes e... O emprego

Nada sobre riscos. Apenas conversa do emprego. Deve ser bom?

"The 44-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, who has lived with a rare, life-threatening genetic condition known as Hunter’s Syndrome since birth, last November became the first person in the world to undergo a new type of treatment that edits genes inside his body."
(...)
"Taylor uses a powerful new gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9, which harnesses part of the defence mechanism used by bacteria to edit genes in other organisms. Its invention five years ago has transformed the speed and cost of editing genes, allowing scientists to accurately delete troublesome genes or create precise breaks in the DNA where new genes can be inserted. It has spurred a surge in research to identify defective genes in diseases.

While not many diseases can simply be turned off by deleting these defective genes, CRISPR-Cas9 has opened a new door for treating patients and unravelling how other conditions might be tackled."

Edição genética para prevenir doenças pode não ter só vantagens

... E Darwin sabia-o. A China e os EUA já pensam nisso BTW:

"Dr Kozubek said: “Before we begin modifying our genes with gene editing tools such as Crispr-Cas9, we’d be smart to recall that genetic variants that contribute to psychiatric conditions may even be beneficial depending on the environment or genetic background.""
