Introduction
Genetically engineered superhumans have long been a staple of science fiction.
But recent science has made the idea of a real-life Captain America not so far-fetched.
In this book, award-winning biochemists Jennifer A. Doudna and Samuel H. Sternberg explain the fundamentals of the gene-editing techniques enabled by the bacterial DNA sequence known as CRSPR.
Explaining both the science and ethics behind gene editing in an accessible way, A Crack in Creation explores the potential CRSPR technology has for improving our lives, as well as the dangers it holds.
Here are the 3 key insights from this Hack
