The risks associated with the DNA analysis systems described in the article can vary depending on how they are configured or what software they use. If the DNA analysis systems are connected to other computers that have access to databases of other people’s DNA, an attacker could potentially steal people’s DNA information and commit crimes with it. They could also possibly remove people’s DNA information so that it would be difficult to connect them to a crime. Another possibility is that an attacker could alter the software running on the DNA analysis system to give incorrect DNA readings, which would make it almost useless.

To safeguard these systems, the article says that they should be run in isolation, like in a container or a VM. It also says that these systems should treat any input as untrusted, so adding input sanitization to the DNA analysis systems could make attacks more difficult. I think that these systems should be run on local machines without internet access, if possible, to prevent the spread of possible damage. I think that running these systems offline would make it much more difficult for things like viruses to spread to other systems that contain things like DNA databases, and it would make it easier to recover from an attack.

I believe the biggest ethical issues that arise from CRISPR editing technology is that it’s difficult to tell where this technology should stop being used. I think that it should be used to prevent deadly diseases and things like eyesight issues. However, it’s also possible to use this technology to make someone stronger, or smarter, taller, or change the way they look. I think that using this technology to do things like that is taking it too far, and it should only be used to prevent things that could shorten someone’s lifespan or make their life difficult. In the past, He Jiankui used gene editing to give children resistance to the AIDS virus, but he faced legal trouble for doing so. I think that this is something that this technology could be used for. All he did was prevent these children from getting a disease, he didn’t change anything else about them, so they should live a normal life. If he did something like make them smarter, stronger, or taller, then I think it should be disallowed.
