HOMEWORK WRITING: GENETICS AND SOCIETY âAbout CRISPR-Cas9. Our previous writing assignments were about your opinions on what is right or wrong, in some new genetic intrusion into human reproduction. This assignment is not about what you think is right or wrong. Your personal opinions matter here,on what is right or wrong.
But what about the whole world? In many countries the power to make decisions is in the ruling classâthe wealthy, the elite, and the inner circle of people who run the country. Inevitably, these countries will also have the same CRISPR-Cas9 technology and they will do whatever they want with it. This assignment is for you to put aside for the moment what you think should happen and just try to imagine what people will do with this technology, especially in countries that are ruled from the top. What will happen?
