What The Reviewers Say

Adrian Woolfson,
The Washington Post
... lively and enthralling.
Carl Zimmer,
The New York Times Book Review
I can’t say what it would have been like to read Editing Humanity back in July 2019. But reading it now—at a time when the coronavirus is killing nearly a thousand Americans every day—is a disorienting experience.
Natalie Kofler,
Nature
... both a historical record and a map, inviting readers to learn from the past to navigate the present. It is, however, only part of the CRISPR story: Davies leaves many thorny ethical issues uncharted.
