  CRISPR or Gene editing can enable high IQ society and super strong soldiers while also enhancing threat of creation of novel Bioweapons by state and terrorists

  

  Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism’s DNA. These technologies allow genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at particular locations in the genome. Several approaches to genome editing have been developed.   CRISPR is a …
