Evolutionary Engineering & Ethical Thrivability: Balancing Innovation and Well-Being

|

Modern evolutionary engineering techniques—notably clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) gene editing technology, gene therapy, and synthetic biology—are transforming healthcare by tackling diseases at their genetic roots. Scientists can now “edit” the human genome to correct mutations, offering hope for curing thousands of genetic diseases (UNCTAD, 2019). These technologies have started to reach patients
