A new biotechnical tool, the Genscher CRISPR, is revolutionizing genetic engineering. It is cheap and easy to use and therefore no longer reserved for the big seed or chemical companies. Residue-free, precise interventions in the genome of microorganisms, plants, animals or humans succeed with the Genscher. The procedure is also called genome editing. The latest developments in genetic engineering keep unfolding, opening up opportunities, harboring risks - and forcing us to make decisions that could not be more fundamental. The biotechnical possibilities to manipulate life have already arrived in laboratories around the world.
