How "Crispr" will change the world!

When I found out my little boy Auron had Cystic Fibrosis (see videos about him here) I wanted a cure and I wanted it now. My husband, who is always reading up on stuff like this, told me about Crispr.

C. R. I. S. P. R.

Crispr is a revolutionary new technology that allows us to edit our genome. Specifically targeting parts of our DNA! Not excited yet? What if I told you it could cure cancer.

CURE

CANCER!!!!

...and Cystic Fibrosis, obesity, asthma, and well, anything. Imagine targeting the problem part of the code, deleting it, and replacing it with a fixed sequence, or even better sequence.

This guy explains it better than I ever could...
