Should crops derived from Genome Editing be considered Genetically Modified Organisms?

CRISPR/CAS9 mediated genome editing now allows to precisely edit the genome of crop plants and improve their traits. For some, the process of deliberate and precise editing of a genome, does not constitute transgenesis (generation of a transgenic) whereas for others it does. How do you feel about genome editing in plants? should crops generated with this technology be considered a GMO?

Few years back, you may have imagined about robots dominating the world; a miniature helicopter capturing photos; or living in Mars. Imagination goes well with creation. We’re on our way. For hundreds of years, science has been doing studies and giving explanations to occurrences that go beyond the human imagination and understanding. Thus, theories are created.
For hundreds of years, technology has been doing a great job in industrialising the world. You step in the land of the first world countries and see for yourself how lifestyle has been advancing. Yet, theory is a theory until it’s proven; technology remains limited. You might wake up one day and see that sci-fi turns into reality. However, what happens next when the clock ticks to ‘Midnight’ and doomsday is for the universe?
