New technology which allows medics to ensure children do not inherit diseases could also mean the likes of Thomas Edison, who invented the lightbulb, might never be seen again, according to Dr Jim Kozubek.

According to Dr. Kozubek poets and writers are at higher risk of suffering from depression and bi-polar disorders. This could mean poets like Edgar Allan Poe would not exist or play writers like Tennessee Williams would not have the motivation to create works of art.

Dr Kozubek said: “Thomas Edison was ‘addled’ and kicked out of school. Tennessee Williams, as a teenager on the boulevards of Paris felt afraid of ‘the process of thought’ and came within ‘a hairsbreadth of going quite mad’.

Depression is often a sign of a chemical imbalance in the body that could be caused by a number of things but usually is a result of toxins in the body or a vitamin deficiency. Source

Dr Kozubek said: “Before we begin modifying our genes with gene editing tools such as Crispr-Cas9, we’d be smart to recall that genetic variants that contribute to psychiatric conditions may even be beneficial depending on the environment or genetic background."

We also need to note that cancer markers in the genes are just markers and don't necessarily cause the actually cancer. Genes are turned on and off by food and toxins you ingest and turning off a breast cancer marker could be as easy as removing fast food from your diet. Source

It's not smart science to be using man made technology to remove and replace sections of your genes when your body has the power on its own to generically modify itself. Human make mistakes, Crispr is new, man made and is a potential billion dollar industry for Corporations. Mother nature has had millions of years to refine it's genetic modifying process, if free to use and benefits only you. You keep all the profits for yourself, no doctors required and best of all is that you have control over your body.
