MARTINEZ-OLIVA, Brenda Gisela. Crispr, a tool for editing genomes . Gac Med Bol [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.179-183. ISSN 1012-2966.

The article focuses on the use of the new tool, CRISPR (short palindromic repetitions grouped at regular intervals), which allows editing the genomes of living beings more accurately than other techniques; Throughout the article, works related to the arrest of angiogenesis, cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma in immunodeficiencies, Parkinson’s, regeneration and genetic modification in humans are mentioned, all these investigations have in common the use of the CRISPR tool. You can also comment on the ethical complications that involve using this technology in the DNA of human embryonic cells, which according to different criteria, carry out improved human beings, that is not only without susceptibility to degenerative or incurable diseases, but also modified in physical aspects that are not linked to any pathology.
