[Gen-ethics] N o a
U .
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats Guide RNA can now target and find a sequence Like a sniper of genetic bases slyly circling around a double helix Our sights aimed at any weakness We laugh holding the strength to cut and reform With shiny badges claiming we could single handedly erase diseases What wishful thinking No warnings on this box Offering up any changes that they want Just wait and see how much money they’ll drop Yes, that Achilles heel Sometimes eyes painted with greed and filled with treasure try to steal A little too much Turning base metals to gold has a certain appeal But we all know chemistry was the new alchemy After alchemy was deemed something to throw in the fire Now only our history is immortal In essence, each of our ideas seem to have a secret half-life making them expire Next example, take cheetahs Seemingly unremarkable but one look at their DNA And you’d wonder if their sequences were repeated This is because they’re all so similar Take a skin graft from one and it works on any other cause the code is quite familiar 190
