Somehow the idea of high school students doing gene editing makes me nervous. I remember some high school experiments that were not well-controlled and had potentially injurious results. Fortunately, no one was significantly harmed.
Given the possible results of gene editing in relation to infectious disease, I wonder if it is prudent to put this technology within the reach of high-schoolers.
