Een nieuwe techniek voor het aanpassen van DNA is op dit moment een revolutie aan het ontketenen. Sinds kort kunnen wetenschappers met Crispr/Cas9 heel specifieke stukjes uit genen knippen en vervangen door een stukje naar keuze. Dit boekje legt op een toegankelijke manier uit hoe de techniek werkt. Ook bespreekt het hoe de techniek het genezen van genetische ziekten veel makkelijker maakt. Maar moeten we nu niet vrezen voor superbaby’s? Ook dit soort ethische vragen passeren de revue.
