          Lean in.

          Cas9 is the endonuclease. CRISPR refers to DNA sequences responsible for ‘guide’ RNA. Something else made the sequence to be inserted. The cell’s repair mechanism ligates the ends back together.

        Crispr is how I tell McDonald’s I want my fries but what I receive is some fucked up mutation of what I expected.

    Nah, the big danger isn’t for another few generations.

    In the meantime, there will fe a gew generations of lucky ducks who just get the medical benefits without all the eugenics.

    Will it be a duel between iGenes and Google Gattaca, or will it all be folded (ha) into a Prime subscription.

    At least this makes me feel better about not having kids. no shame in my geneticist appointment. Just gotta not commit a capital crime now
