Great potential, risks of gene editing

Recently in China, scientists genetically engineered a beagle to double its muscle mass. The scientists juiced up the aptly named Hercules by “editing” a gene called myostatin. While scientists have been able to edit genes for some time, the advent of a powerful tool called CRISPR has made gene editing —the insertion, deletion or modification of a gene in an organism—easier, cheaper and more precise.
