Wow, I'm sure you've all seen the news, but just in case, we cured sickle cell disease! Hooray! It looks like the same method, of modifying a patient's bone marrow and then transplanting it back into their body, might work for beta thalassemia, and even HIV! I'm thrilled about this, and I would like to ask whether any of you know of any other therapies based on CRISPR that might be cresting the horizon soon. It's so powerful, but I'm not a physician or medical researcher, so I thought I'd try to start a discussion about it. What's CRISPR capable of? What will it accomplish medically in the next ten or twenty years? Thanks for your input!
