The July-August issue of La Maleta de de Port-Bou publishes several articles on ethical and societal implications of CRISPR. It is specially helpful for those that have never read anything about it before. Tomàs Marquès provides an introductory text in accesible language. The conclusion after reading all the articles is that we are not prepared for CRISPR, but we are never prepared to understand all the uncertainties surrounding any innovation. The key question is to analyze concrete implications of outcomes and define what should be done.
My surprise was that you'll not find any reference to the word epigenetics. And most of the articles seem to focus on the genes as our fate. As you know, "We are not our DNA". Therefore, take care while reading it.
