Main Body

Recent developments in CRISPR: (1) Being used for meeting food/modified organism with vast usage Eg: food security through Bt-cotton, Bt-brinjal. (2) Helped in vaccine development Eg: m-RNA vaccines.

3Used as gene-editing to tackle disease Eg: Haemoglobin production, blood-clotting factor. (4) Creation of designer babies Eg: Amino has successfully initiated. (5) As a tool against life-threatening disease. Eg: Leukemia treatment. Opportunities in healthcare and society: (1) Great the reserved population and universalization of healthcare. (2) Act against global problems like NCDs, Neglected tropical disease, Orphan disease. (3) Helps in understanding human genome for pandemic preparedness. (4) Precision and tailored medicine for vast population.

Ethical challenges: (1) Inequitable access with: resulting in lack of safety for vast population. (2) Unintended consequences of genetically modified organism. Eg: Gene may be exchanged. (3) Law and order problems due to inability to extract unique gene. Eg: Designer babies. (4) Expensive nature makes it unavailable for commercial use. CRISPR technology offers vast opportunities for ensuring global healthcare access.
