The Nanosecond Scientist
A BolesBlogs.com reader forwarded me a transcript and asked whether any of it holds up. A man is talking about human origins. He says Homo sapiens appeared out of nowhere. He says a missing link sits at the base of our species, and that the link is easy to find: hand any person's DNA to a scientist who works with CRISPR, ask whether the sample has been edited, and the answer arrives in a nanosecond. Yes. Edited. From there he moves to the identity of the editor, God or a visiting intelligence with advanced technology, and he closes by asking why Britain colonized America. Here is the short answer before the long one. Three of the speaker's sentences are accurate. One sentence is invented, and that invented sentence carries the entire argument. Everything downstream of it, the aliens, Dr. Moreau, the colony, the closing questions, rests on a laboratory result that has never happened and cannot happen. The combination deserves slow handling, because the arrangement recurs everywhere now, and the arrangement does more damage than the content. […] -

In historic decision, FDA approves a CRISPR-based medicine for treatment of sickle cell disease
-
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved a powerful 👉treatment for 🔸sickle cell disease🔸, a devastating illness that affects more than 100,000 Americans, the majority of whom are Black.
The therapy, called "Casgevy", from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, is the ⚠️first medicine to be approved in the United States that uses the gene-editing tool 🔹CRISPR🔹, which won its inventors the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2020.The approval marks the first of two potential breakthroughs for the inherited blood disorder.
The FDA on Friday also approved a 👉second treatment for sickle cell disease, called "Lyfgenia", a gene therapy from drugmaker Bluebird Bio.
Both treatments work by genetically modifying a patient’s own stem cells.Until now, the only known cure for sickle cell disease was a bone marrow transplant from a donor, which carries the risk of rejection by the immune system, in addition to the difficult process of finding a matching donor.

"Why CRISPR babies R still too risky — While society grapples with the social and ethical implications of heritable genome editing, technical obstacles still abound."
"Heritable human genome editing remains unacceptable at this time,” “Preclinical evidence for the safety and efficacy of heritable human genome editing has not been established, nor has societal discussion and policy debate been concluded.”"
