GENETIC ENGINEERING
CRISPR gene editing
-
-
-
-
Invented to treat diseases, improve crops, and study genes
-
Gene therapy
-
-
Done by inserting, altering, or removing genes within a person's cells to treat diseases
Developed by geneticists, doctors, and biotechnologists
Used to cure genetic disorders, treat diseases, and prevent conditions before they develop
Lab grown meat
-
-
-
-
Used to reduce animal suffering, lower environmental impact, and provide sustainable food
-
Synthetic biology
-
-
Done by designing and constructing new biological parts, systems, or organisms
Developed by researchers, including those at MIT and other leading institutions
Used to create new technologies, enhance biotechnology, and solve global challenges like energy and medicine
Cloning
-
-
-
-
Used for medical research, innovation and farming
Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an organism using its DNA. Scientists use somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), where a nucleus from a donor cell is inserted into an egg cell. The egg develops into an embryo and is implanted into a surrogate, resulting in a cloned organism.
-
Designer Babies
-
The concept emerged in the 1990s, with CRISPR related breakthroughs in the 2010s
Engineered by using genetic screening and gene editing (CRISPR) to select or modify traits in embryos, allowing for control over the characteristics
Done by scientists, geneticists, and fertility specialists
Done to prevent genetic diseases, enhance traits, or select specific characteristics in children and animals
