CRISPR is a precise, affordable gene-editing tool with major applications in medicine, agriculture, and research—but it faces technical limitations and serious ethical concerns, especially around heritable edits. Global regulations are tightening, and newer methods (e.g., base editing) aim to improve safety. Responsible use is essential.

Déjà vu—a brief, common illusion of reliving the present—likely stems from momentary mismatches in memory processing, especially in the temporal lobe. Though usually harmless, it can signal neurological issues and may reflect the brain’s adaptive familiarity-checking mechanism.

Procrastination is an emotion-driven habit where the brain avoids discomfort, not just poor planning. Though occasionally helpful under pressure, chronic delay harms mental health and brain structure. It can be overcome with self-awareness and simple behavioral strategies.
