CRISPR can be used for things like modifying cells that fight cancer so our bodies can get rid of cancer early on.
In the future, scientists might be able to decide hair color, eye color, or maybe even personality.
But then everyone might look and act the same! That would be boring and weird.
That's right. But we want to use this technology to keep people healthy as much as we can.
Hmm... now I see how it's a moral question. Some people want to take the risk and try to make the world healthier, but others would rather keep their genes natural.
Exactly!
