Description
Enduring friendships. Daunting decisions. Secrets. Love. Loss. Poetic Justice. What she knew for sure-
Her technology was truly revolutionary. It had extraordinary promise for curing human disease, maybe even Alzheimer's. It also had the potential for abuse-unrestrainable, diabolical abuse. It could never get into the hands of her more powerful adversaries. It should be destroyed. But doing what's right isn't always easy...especially when it comes to the ones you love. Aliya McKenna has it all...beauty, brains, grit. Her family is close-knit. Her best friends are lively and loyal. And she has met her soulmate. When a world-renowned scientist asks her to collaborate, she jumps at the chance. It was all quite wonderful-until it wasn't. Faced with precarious choices, her gambles become perilous when she does the wrong things for the right reasons and learns a valuable lesson along the way: just because you can, doesn't mean you should. KRISPR is set against the backdrop of the unintended consequences of one of humanity's greatest innovations, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. It is as suspenseful as it is heart-warming and features the coming of age of an intelligent, relatable young woman who out-smarts her opponents, with the added bonus of introducing cutting edge science in an understandable manner.
