The word “smart” has been the recent trend in almost all technological industry. Nowadays, we have smart phones, smart TV, smart houses and others. Is it too soon to start having smart babies? The potentiality of having smart babies or designer babies as some researchers would describe it is due to the discovery of CRISPRCas9 gene editing technology. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repasts (CRISPR) is home to a wide of application and potential with the promise of altering genes to produce desired trait and treatment of diseases (such as cancer, genetic disorder). The mechanism aging has been showed to be hindered by CRISPR technology. Other application of CRISPR extends to food and agriculture in the control of pest, modification of plants in terms of GM (Genetically Modified) foods
