The complete title of the work is: "With CRISPR-Cas9 Is Their Germline Really Necessary?". This drawing on canvas was made together with a painting (now lost) after Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553). CRISPR-Cas9, a successful genome editing technology has ethical implications for human germ line research: that is, making heritable changes to the human genome. The mosaicization of Adam references problematic mixtures of edited and unedited cells. However, since I completed the work the research has moved on to more precise editing thus reducing risk of unwanted changes. The ethical problem remains of so-called "designer babies". The work is for sale as an NFT via OpenSea (WilfTilley).

Wilf Tilley (Prof. Michael W. Miller) was born in the North of England and began his career as an actor, age 16, with the National Youth Theatre at The Old Vic in a production of Antony and Cleopatra in which Helen Mirren played Cleopatra and he carried a spear. “Wilf Tilley” (a combination of parental names) was part-adopted for a first solo exhibition at the AIR Gallery, London, when he was 27. Following an MA degree at the Royal College of Art, London, an interest in the neuro-anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci led, via the Open University, to research on neuronal modelling in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics in the University of Oxford. He was a Fellow of St. Catherine's College, Oxford, and after a two-year Fellowship in the International Center for Medical Research, Kobe, was a founder member, then senior adviser at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, where he designed a brain science exploratorium (BrainBox). Wilf has held eight solo exhibitions, participated in group exhibitions internationally, and held a first retrospective in Japan (The Neuro-mytheologian And Other Works), in 2003. A novel (The Ladyboy Murders) was shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers in 2015. In November/December 2017, he held a second retrospective at the Frederick Harris Gallery, Tokyo. And a recent portrait (Manami-san) is part of the New Light Art Prize Exhibition in the UK, touring five galleries nationally (2023-2024).
