Manhattan Genomics and Preventive plan to explore gene editing in human embryos using base and prime editing (newer than CRISPR-Cas9). 80%+ of published analyses flag safety concerns including off-target mutations and effects on future generations.
Strong Daniel 2:43 resonance: humans deliberately attempting to modify the human genome at the embryonic level. "Mingling with the seed of men" read as genetic manipulation rather than sexual reproduction. 80% of studies flag uncontrolled off-target mutations — the genome resists precise editing, which echoes "they shall not cleave one to another."
The boundary violation in Genesis 6 was between kinds — divine and human. CRISPR embryo editing represents a different boundary violation: humans altering the foundational code of human offspring. Not identical to Gen 6 but rhymes thematically.
