The news can be a damper sometimes, and in 2017, it seemed to be a heavy weight a lot. But there were sparks of hope in some places, especially in medicine, where the next frontier of health technology made what we formerly thought impossible pretty damn possible. Between gene editing, mind control, and viruses carrying secret fixes…
