I've built a career out of sharing science news and looking into new discoveries. So when I read that it's now possible to edit our genes, the very fabric of what makes us who we are, I was captivated. I've become determined to find out how this genetic revolution could change our lives. Could there be a future where it's as easy as ordering genetic modifications from a menu? Like stronger bones, or a disease-free body? And if you could, would you design your DNA? Do the benefits outweigh the risks? I'm off to explore if we should be "playing God". Just because we could choose from a mutant menu, does that make gene editing right? Just considering it's use raises so many tough ethical questions. I want to start a wider c...
