Gene editing has been researched and carried out since the 1970s. Since then, scientists have already made huge progress in understanding genetics, diseases, as well as finding better ways for gene editing and repair. If that much progress has already been made in about 50 years, I can only imagine how gene editing will evolve during my lifetime. Gene editing is still crazy expensive and unaffordable for most people. As scientists research and find more effective ways for gene editing, I can imagine gene therapy becoming more affordable and I can also see gene testing/repair becoming a standard/common occurrence. As time goes on, research of gene editing will allow scientists to cure/prevent even more diseases as well as help us make more advancements in medicine and living a healthy life in general.
