Standard safety sign, but make it genetics! CRISPR-Cas9 is basically the molecular equivalent of running with scissors—except instead of cutting paper, it's snipping your genetic code. That warning sign isn't kidding around. One wrong move and suddenly you've got six toes or glow in the dark. Gene editing: where "cutting corners" takes on a whole new terrifying meaning. Next time you feel like jogging with the world's most precise genetic scissors, maybe consider a nice, safe activity instead—like juggling nitroglycerin.
