CRISPR, gene editing technology, is light years ahead of other technology in this one area. Its potential uses are almost unbelievable. Yet, it is still in its infancy, and therefore needs strong parenting and further guidance to insure the technology is not abused.
Yet, for me, the hope grows stronger that a treatment, and potentially a cure, for Kennedy's Disease, SBMA, will become available in the not to distant future. It might not be available for my generation, but it sure appears it will be there for my children, and their children.
