Not a lot of talk about CRISPR-CAS9 here. Though we don't really know enough about what it will entail yet (it's still very new), I think that it's potential power should cause raised eyebrows. Things like bio-terrorism are a 'first pass' at CRISPR's power, but there are much deeper implications. For instance, the concept of 'family' may be threatened with enough gene editing, a concept that goes back about a billion years.
