Advances in gene editing technology are rapidly making what was once considered science fiction a reality. Experts like Professor Krishanu Saha are raising alarms about the potential risks if gene engineering is not closely regulated. The possibility of creating 'chimaeras'âhybrids of humans and animalsâcould lead to radical enhancements in intelligence, growth, and sensory perception. During the upcoming Global Observatory for Genome Editing International Summit, scientists will deliberate on the implications of these advancements and the urgent need for guidelines to define the acceptable limits of genetic manipulation.
As gene editing technologies advance, the potential to create new hybrids and even new types of humans raises critical ethical questions about human integrity and identity.
Scientists warn that without limits on gene engineering, we could soon witness the creation of enhanced species, pushing the boundaries of what being human means.
