TOK EXHIBITION Object 1: CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing Kit
Theme: Knowledge and Technology
Rationale: The availability of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing kits for both professional and amateur use raises profound ethical questions about the boundaries of genetic manipulation. This technology embodies the dilemma of whether all scientific knowledge should be pursued, given its potential for both groundbreaking medical treatments and controversial applications like designer babies or biohacking. It prompts discussions on the responsibilities of scientists and society in setting ethical limits on knowledge exploration, balancing the benefits of genetic advancements against potential risks and moral concerns.
