The Future of Genome Editing | Stella de Wit | TEDxYouth@WAB

My name is Stella de Wit, and I am a Grade 10 student at the Western Academy of Beijing in Beijing, China. Recently, in both Science and English class, my grade studied the impact of genetic biotechnology on scientific innovation. My interest in this topic, as well my interest in biology, led me to choose gene editing as my topic for today's TEDx speech. In my speech, I discuss the positive and negative implications of gene editing and see how we must advance as a society.
