CRISPR technology is really exciting, but it does have some problems we need to think about:
Off-Target Effects: Sometimes, CRISPR can change parts of DNA it wasn't meant to touch. This can cause unexpected changes, or mutations, in the genes.
Delivery Issues: It's hard to get CRISPR tools into the right cells. Scientists are working on different ways to do this, like using viruses or tiny particles.
Ethical Concerns: Changing human genes brings up big questions about what we should and shouldn't do, especially when it comes to making changes that get passed down to future generations.
Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries have different laws about gene editing. This can make it tricky for researchers to carry out their work.
We need to solve these issues if we want to make the most of what CRISPR can do.
