One example of current technology is CRISPR, a biological system for altering DNA discovered in 2012. CRISPR scans the genome looking for the right location, and then uses “molecular scissors” to snip through the faulty DNA. While effective in the lab, the process is less than perfect and can cut out too much DNA.
