IV. PROSPECTS FOR STUDYING CRISPR SYSTEMS.

The practical application of CRISPR/Cas9 in medicine is more distant future and not today, still need a lot of work, development and improvement of technology, its reliability and safety, as well as addressing issues related to bioethics. The situation with blood diseases today is better than the other, because the damaged gene is needed only for the bloodmaking, and the technology of cell therapy for such diseases is already well established. Let's say that the patient has leukaemia. Today, in order to eliminate this disease, it is first irradiated, and then find a suitable donor and transplanted bone marrow. But unfortunately, as happens often, a suitable donor to look long, and full of immunologic matching never.

In CRISPR/Cas systems, it is possible to identify several unresolved to date problems. Still it is not known where does most of the spacers. Only a small part of them is of viral origin, all the rest, the overwhelming majority, not similar to anything. Also, the actual search is still unknown CRISPR/Cas systems. Indeed, among the new systems may well be quite promising from a practical point of view, and devoid of the shortcomings of systems based on Cas9.

V. CONCLUSION.

Man, with this technology, can consider himself as a God, the true Creator of life, capable of easy on her creation, which in itself is a kind of divine gift, also he can change its settings, the vesting of certain qualities, the selection of those characteristics that need directly to the Creator. The dream of eugenics. On the one hand, it offers tremendous opportunities and has great potential for all humanity: all men are strong, muscular, mentally developed, devoid of any possible hereditary diseases and endowed with the strongest in the entire existence of the human species immunity. But on the other hand, the capabilities of the technology can play a cruel joke with us, because it essentially can be considered a real biological weapons, and who knows what can happen, if this technology is perfected, in the hands of terrorists today.

Or for example, what if one of the neighbors wants to use a gene drive, the technology that can change the entire species, leaving them without offspring, adjusting gender born individuals, thereby destroying a huge population, and the other neighbor not? How to prevent the possible proliferation of the drive through the air at the border of the first country?

Man, as the crown of evolution needs with a cool mind, rationally and objectively assess all potential risks and benefits of finding such a powerful tool in their hands. And only in pursuit of common goals of humanity, and not individual, go to universal global development and improve the quality of human life in General, by development the natural phenomena that surround us everywhere.
