They didn’t wait for all the evidence for this crap. Just read this this morning.

“CRISPR gene editing produces unwanted DNA deletions”

DNA-cutting enzyme used for genetic modification can create large deletions and shuffle genes.

“The cell will try to stitch things back together,” says mouse geneticist Allan Bradley of the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, who led the study. “But it doesn’t really know what bits of DNA lie adjacent to each other.”

Researchers often use CRISPR to generate small deletions in the hope of knocking out a gene’s function. But when examining CRISPR edits, Bradley and his colleagues found large deletions — often several thousand DNA letters long — and complicated rearrangements of DNA sequences in which previously distant DNA sequences were stitched together. The phenomenon was prevalent in all three of the cell types they tested, including a kind of human cell grown in the laboratory.

oh, no worries, even though DNA from a single cell can exonerate someone in the courts, they will kill whatever doesn’t come out right.

And they wonder why they are being invaded. HA!
