While I am excited about the CRISPR technology the one thing that gives me pause is that they are first tackling sickle cell (i.e. make black people the guinea pig)
I can understand your hesitancy trust.
But at the same time these white folks suddenly realized just how much money is available to them from this disease.
So it's not even about anything but money.
As long as in the long run there is a viable cure?
I'm ready.
Completely agree on getting a viable cure. Here is another interesting article of note on following up on the early patients of the process:

I just had a crisis a couple weeks back, painful back pain and hospital stay
Juiced me up with Morphine so I can sleep, was screaming and hollering all night in pain.
Doc said to lighten up a bit, drop 20 pounds and exercise a bit more. Gotta lay off the fast food
I heard some states have free healthcare for sickle cell but Florida isn't one of them, gotta get these bills paid.
If y'all got any info pass along, I'm looking for some assistance and possibly a cure one day.
