We can now edit our DNA

We can now edit our DNA. But let's do it wisely.

Geneticist Jennifer Doudna co-invented a groundbreaking new technology for editing genes, called CRISPR-Cas9. The tool allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA strands, which could lead to treatments for genetic diseases … but could also be used to create so-called "designer babies." Doudna reviews how CRISPR-Cas9 works — and asks the scientific community to pause and discuss the ethics of this new tool.

Soon we can have "designer human"; you can change colors of your eyes and skin, be taller, faster, muscular and all. This is a good business... playing god.

on the other hand, the use of this technique in humans poses serious ethical questions.
