Genetic engineering, particularly through technologies like CRISPR, offers incredible potential in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. The ability to edit genes with precision could lead to cures for genetic disorders, enhanced crops, and even the preservation of endangered species. However, these advances raise ethical concerns about the possibility of "designer babies," the unintended consequences of altering genes, and the potential misuse of technology. As we continue to explore the possibilities of genetic engineering, it is vital to establish ethical frameworks to guide its application responsibly.
