That speed of identification is not a science reality yet, but it is a reality that that identification can be done, and as to the speed, it's coming.

Yeah, I hear you on that one. Totalitarian states could use DNA to discriminate against certain ethnic groups. This can lead to a systemic exclusion, detention or worse. Plus, DNA data might be used to create profiles of individuals deemed likely to commit crimes based on their genetic markers.

Yes. Look, welcome to the future. These potential uses illustrate the importance of strict regulations and safeguards to protect genetic data and prevent its misuse. Then again... When has there ever been a technology that someone, somewhere, wasn't willing to mess with no matter how dangerous? And here I was feeling good about the promise of CRISPR. Me too.

Look, progress always comes with questions and scary worst-case scenarios, including the human race gaining access to the blueprints of life and developing the ability to mess with them. Who knows what the distant future may hold? Maybe people will become genetically altered to live on Mars or a moon of Saturn. Maybe we can remove the genes for mental illness or cancer. I'm an optimist.

A skeptical optimist. This understanding of DNA and how to manipulate it has already done so much good.

Plus, millions of people now get to add a whole ton of new ethnicities to their dating profiles. Yes, that's right.

Wow, them are some bragging rights. It's clear we stand on the brink of unprecedented possibilities, from curing genetic disorders and enhancing human capabilities to ethical dilemmas and unforeseen consequences. The power to edit our genetic code opens a Pandora's box of opportunities and challenges.
