A Crack in Creation

Wow!! Just wow. I learned so much reading this book. From start to finish it was a educational mind opening read.

From the origins of crispr, the power of the technology to the moral, ethical questions raised when it comes to human genome editing.

The authors highlight well the moral dilemmas they had to face once they realized the implications and potential uses of the technology both good and bad.

Just a fantastic read and well worth your time!!

What an exciting book. I had very little knowledge CRISPR, or genetics as a whole going into this book. I felt a little lost at times -more so in the first part of the book detailing the history - but never enough to lose interest. I really appreciate that Doudna herself took the time to write this book and lead the conversation. Especially because I read this right after [b:Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup 37976541 Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup John Carreyrou https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1525180824s/37976541.jpg 59699437] I needed seeing someone who is so obviously conscious of the work she does and so interested in actually helping people.

A great book about an even greater discovery in science, would recommend it to anyone! It is a tad long and some of the detailed science is a bit hard to grasp, but the main points are easy to understand.
