People are predisposed by their genes to act in different ways‚ but how exactly these difference manifest themselves depends greatly on the context that people are raised in. Genes that make a person more slightly more adverse to interactions with outsiders‚ in a society where tensions with nearby outsiders are low‚ is going to be effected than someone with the same genes in areas of high conflict. Multiculturalism allows for the exposure of genes to new cultures‚ especially by the second generation

Gene patents have been a controversial issue ever since the United States Patent Office began to grant patents for human genes. Those who protest gene patents argue that they will impede research and negatively affect the medical field. Supporters of the patents suggest that they will help propel the field to new heights by harboring innovation through the pricing power that comes with patenting.

This is remarkable because with this discovery we can cure a lot of single gene diseases such as Huntington’s Disease‚ Cystic Fibrosis‚ Tay-Sachs disease‚ and breast cancer‚ these are a few examples of the single gene diseases that can be cured with this gene editing. Diseases that are not able to be cured by the replacement of these genes are the much more complex diseases that contain hundreds and thousands of genes such
