Answer:

One of the major advantages of crispr-cas9 is that it could potentially wipe-out many genetic diseases and could even be used to develop a successful cancer therapy.

The main disadvantages would be the ethics. In the future an individual could select their own desired traits for their offspring. The wealthy would have a larger advantage which could increase the social gap.
