CRISPR, the gene editing
tool
“Regulators on Friday approved two new
gene therapies for sickle cell
disease that doctors hope can cure the painful, inherited blood
disorder that afflicts mostly Black people in the U.S.
The Food and Drug Administration said the one-time
treatments can be used for patients 12 and older with severe forms of the
disease. One, made by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, is the
first approved therapy based on CRISPR, the gene editing tool that won its inventors the Nobel Prize in 2020. The other is
made by Bluebird Bio and works differently.”

An example of how humanity could function; constructive, rather than destructive.
