Engrossing and captivating, Editing Humanity takes listeners inside the fascinating world of a new gene editing technology called CRISPR, a high-powered genetic toolkit that enables scientists to not only engineer but to edit the DNA of any organism down to the individual building blocks of the genetic code. Davies introduces listeners to arguably the most profound scientific breakthrough of our time. He tracks the scientists on the front lines of its research to the patients whose powerful stories bring the narrative movingly to human scale.

Brilliant and thought-provoking
Revisado: 10-14-20
Genome editing did not need Drs. Doudna and Charpentier's well-deserved Nobel win to validate it. Though fraught with potential for ethical abuse (something Davies attacks and parses fairly), CRISPR will seem to be one of those things that ends up changing lives and saving lives via "days of small things." Sickle cell and genetically adaptive crops, rare genetic disorders no longer causing families to suffer. While the birth of the "CRISPR babies" also made my stomach turn, I know that if I had a child suffering from the ravages of sickle cell, I would be first in line for treatment. Davies shows how the story of CRISPR is a human one--the scientists who have played a role in it's development over the years, the journalists who broke the news--with all their quirks, genius, and foibles. And he does not reduce Lulu and Nana—the babies born with genes edited by He Jianuki—to hashtags. These are real little girls and Davies tells their story with great humanity. A must-read to understand this scientific and medical innovation beyond hashtags and headlines.

The author writes as though we are children

Terrible narrator!
Revisado: 05-30-19
The narrator of this title is very difficult to listen to and has a grating and annoying voice. Instead of letting the author narrate her own book, they should have hired a professional!
