El libro aborda tanto las extraordinarias ventajas como las limitaciones y desafios no resueltos de la edicion genetica, proporcionando una perspectiva equilibrada y realista.Montoliu explora las multiples aplicaciones de estas tecnologias, desde avances medicos prometedores hasta controvertidas intervenciones en embriones humanos que plantean complejos dilemas eticos. Con un enfoque honesto y didactico, el autor desmitifica la edicion genetica, explicando conceptos complejos de manera comprensible para el publico general.
