short essay about CRISPR

 For this short essay, you want to find a current event article to bring into class that relates to the course theme ("Inspire to Action") and that is of interest to you.

 Write a 500-word reflection on why this article is important and how it is involved with “Inspire to Action.”

· This should be written half as a "summary" of the article (~250 words), telling the class what the article says, and half as an analytical response and evaluation (~250 words) that answers the questions here:

· What do you think of this article?

· Why is it important and how is it involved with "Inspire to Action"?

· How would you describe the author's treatment of the subject? Does it seem fair and academic  or  is it biased somehow (especially blatantly biased)? If not, why?

· Are there competing arguments on this topic and does the author recognize or address them?

· Try your best to connect the topic of the article to a major idea in the class or in the world (e.g. "social justice, human rights, diversity, etc.)
