Kurzgesagt explains the origins, mechanisms, and future implications of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology in humans and other organisms.

Designer babies, the end of diseases, genetically modified humans that never age. Outrageous things that used to be science fiction are suddenly becoming reality. The only thing we know for sure is that things will change irreversibly.

Heh. That was the first thing that popped to mind too. But it might be best to avoid the topic. Still, genetic engineering is marching ever-closer. link to this video
