And the reason I thought this is a really great organism to look at is that we understand why it's so harmful.
It's harmful because it produces a toxin, and that toxin is released when the organism gets into our intestinal tract.
So what happens, if you've got an organism, it produces a lot of toxin.
If the organism produced a lot of toxin, you might find 10 million, or 100 million.
Some countries that might have clean water supplies, so that you can't get waterborne transmission: you expect the organism to evolve to mildness there.
In 1991, this cholera organism got into Lima, Peru, and within two months it had spread to the neighboring areas.
Did the organism evolve to mildness in a place like Chile, which has some of the most well protected water supplies in Latin America?
But, before we get too confident, we'd better look at some of those other countries, and make sure that this organism doesn't just always evolve toward mildness.
If you've got a harmful organism, a high proportion of the people are going to be symptomatic, a high proportion of the people are going to be going to get antibiotics.
They got the organism to evolve to mildness, and they got no development of antibiotic resistance.
And the example I want to deal with is, or the idea I want to deal with, the question is, what can we do to try to get the malarial organism to evolve to mildness?
And now mind you, in a diploid organism like people, we've got one copy of our genome from our mom and one from our dad, so if one gets damaged, it can use the other chromosome to repair it.
In a petri dish, that's not that hard, but if you're trying to do it on a whole organism, it gets really tricky.
And like a living organism, you tear it open, it bleeds its molten blood, rises up to heal that wound from the asthenosphere, hardens, forms new tissue and moves laterally.

And the constraints in building any organism, when you look at it, are really severe.
So our most basic experiences of being a self, of being an embodied organism, are deeply grounded in the biological mechanisms that keep us alive.
The genome is a composition of all the genetic information encoded by DNA in an organism.
From the smallest single-celled organism to the largest creatures on earth, every living thing is defined by its genes.
But in 2012, scientists figured out how to hijack CRISPR to target not just viral DNA, but any DNA in almost any organism.
