The gene editing emerges worldwide as a revolutionary technique for avoidable diseases and cure. Acting directly on humans, but also on the environment that surrounds them, fuels the hope of improving the health of current and future generations. Combining an approach on the mediations that create the social reality of these techniques and on the technoscientific practices that modify the possible bodies and worlds that it can inhabit, the article is dedicated to the description and analysis of the construction of CRISPR/Cas9 in the United Kingdom, pointing to the reconfiguration of the concept of nature from its clinical, commercial and ontological use, of interest for the present and the future of mutant humans.
