The conversation between human and AI assistant.
At what point could CRISPR be applied to living people and what are the limitations of applying that to adults vs. at conception?
Are there any safety concerns regarding the use of CRISPR on living people?
Yes, safety is a major concern. It is possible that unintended changes could be made to a person's DNA, which could lead to harmful side effects. Additionally, there is always the possibility of off-target effects, where CRISPR could alter genes that are not intended to be modified.
