<p>It’s a question that has been around for decades, but discussion has been super-charged in recent years thanks to the discovery of CRISPR, an incredibly accurate pair of molecular scissors that can cut DNA at exact spots to make edits.</p>
<p>But we’ve got a ways to go. You likely don’t have to worry about a smarter,</p>
