The Ethical Dilemma Of Genome Editing | The CRISPR Revolution
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- CRISPR genome editing could revolutionize human evolution. It gives scientists the ability to alter parts of the human genome by adding or removing sections of the human DNA sequence. As advanced as this technology is, it also brings up the issue of morality, how far should humans be going to change the course of their evolution?

This is a good way of creating new crops for space colonies. Imagine genetically engineered bacteria for soil to create new viable soil
I pray this technology works out for all those suffering. And for all the scientists and doctors, thank you!!! You are True heros
There is no 'ethical dilemma' if it is available to everyone. If it is only available to the affluent only then does it become an 'ethical' issue.
YES! This is what people don't understand.
Facts! As long as it’s available for everyone especially lower income folks then this technology is a Blessing!
I do not believe it is a matter of whom has it but rather a matter of how it effects us all. What happens when people want to stop being people? When they want to turn themselves into something MORE than human?
What happens when our very humanity is at risk??
@@forho2 human extinction is not a blessing.
@@EmperorMatticusIII'd say that's their personal decision. Stop trying to control other people
Germline editing was successful in China 6 years ago when twin girls were born with immunity to HIV. Procedure was done by a Stanford trained scientist.
And by doing so they became significantly more susceptible to west Nile disease. They possibly never would’ve been infected by HIV.
How impressive the future will be with the effort of all these wonderful people ❤
horse: NEEEEIGH
gavriel:GIVE MY LEGS BACK
This is a groundbreaking project with great potential. I wish I was on this research team. To be at the cutting edge of such great project which humanity may one day look back on is great
If people are willing to try things…that’s THEIR decision. Science has figured out AMAZING things. And for others to tell someone else “you can’t try that it’s immoral or wrong or whatever”
NONE of their business
@@haveTRUEtranSparencyEMiLy so you find Nazism acceptable? Do you really believe 'disabled' people don't deserve to live?
Shouldn't that be the individual's choice?
Suicide rates of disabled people is no surprise as we have people like you and the science community saying we don't belong here.
it’s their prospective children’s business
What a sweet and brave boy little Gabriel Rosenfeld is! I wish that beautiful boy and his family all the best! 🙏😊
There should be no ethical dilemma when it comes to genome editing, cloning, or any other science, religion needs to finally take a back seat and stop hindering human progress for the sake of "faith".
You clearly do not understand that scientific method depends upon human tradition and wisdom for direction. Stick your quotes up your brain stem.
@@jodiunger9425
Why are you suggesting we cause human extinction?
Completely agree, would go a step further and say war needs to take a back seat, so much life and money wasted for what? The destruction of the library of Alexandria (I think that's what it was called?) So much wasted potential in general, but hey atleast we haven't nuked and deleted all of humanity.... yet..
@autisticdan6151 seriously? Autistic and woke? Haven't seen that one before. And how can you magically predict the end of humanity because the guy you replied to wants religion to take a back seat and science to rule, are you also religious or ? Lol
@@Azd1r.3358. Seriously, are you really that thoughtless?
If we were all genetically identical when COVID-19 started where would we be now? Extinct because we would all be identically susceptible.
No mutations = no adaptability = extinction
if a person edits his DNA at will, then this is his choice, if a person edits the DNA of an ecosystem, then this cannot be done as it will imbalance the system and the consequences will be unpredictable
Cyborg: Shut up human!
What if you could run simulations and change varibles to control and see outcomes ai baby
there are consequences to editing your own DNA, especially if you have children. so it’s not just YOUR choice
People have been editing the DNA of ecosystems for thousands of years through selective breeding.
The only difference with modern technology, is that we can deliberately edit specific alleles instead of a 'spray-and-pray' approach.
hybridization of species is not a modification of the ecosystem since elements adapt to hybrids among insects, rodents and other living creatures, but when we make hybrids inedible, we thereby upset the balance of the food chain
One must not be limited in intervening in human evolution. Man must be allowed to shake his own evolution. I wish I was born at a time when I could actively and freely genetically modify my body
You're completely free to engineer an entirely new human with another human partner already. Choose wisely.
Gattaca movie - a very good one!
This is inevitable
The future hellride rollercoaster is going to have its grand opening soon… 🤯🤯🤯
"Limit people from doing things WE don't want them to do"....... *cough, but we want to do ourselves*
Please, if I could go back in time I want to be crossed with an octopus.
I could change color, texture and I could fit through a crack under a door.
Plus, tentacles…
8 arms… dude you’d be the perfect factory worker!😮
Octopus can edit their own RNA! I am a Mom of 4 and often wish I could spawn a few extra arms;)
after the pandemic its important ppl understand the world was dependent on it for vaccines that helped get things back under control during covid.
Let's agree to disagree
You probably still wear a mask walking alone outside.
I don't wear a mask, why would I?
Btw are you on about the tech that helped develop vaccines that caused more damage than the virus that they were supposed to prevent?
Why are you being so hyperbolic? Clearly the vaccines helped and clearly they didnt cause damage.. what caused damage was people and the psyche we werent prepared for when restricting autonomy like that. But what we are dealing with is not a normal issue, the literal only solution were to isolate, if we had any better option we would have used that but to stop a pandemic we quite literally have to cull some freedoms for abit.. and if everyone just held out a little longer and npt break the rules we set in place we could have gone back to normalcy much quicker! But halfassing it alone made the difference between 1 million and 2 million deaths.. yeah, it was that bad but those are just number, just because we dont see em doesnt mean they arent happening. If you want a much stronger case speak to ANY doctor during the event, they SEE the increase so clearly that it literally overwhelmed the entire medical system so having folk who "doubted" covid was even a thing didnt help em one bit.
Chinese made designer babies years ago, those hiv resistant twins and im sure it didn't stop there. This boy has nothing to lose anyway
his life??? is that nothing to lose?
Waiting for the breakthrough documentary on Spark.
We must edit human genome.
We must eliminate all the genetic diseases.
We must also improve our Intelligence genetically.
You will never be able to eliminate all genetic diseases, each time you eliminate one you trigger another. Genes associated with diseases protect people from diseases. Destroy those mutations, then everyone's susceptible to another disease.
What a godsend this is. To be able to fix the genetic problems that cause disease for so many people.
has nothing to do with “god”
research plum island, thats where crispr could have possibly originated
A third classification (crispred) is needed. It's neither GMO nor conventionally bred. All three are "genetically engineered."
Discovery of crisper in 2012. So late in human history. Imagine if one went back and told Aristotle or Galen about this.

I would also find a fresh mushroom farm and start adding medicinal mushrooms they are adaptogens best wishes hang in there they told me 6 years ago to go home and die I didn’t listen I kept searching for hope don’t give up keep believing 🙏☀️
3:59 some people think it’s because you hate Jesus 😭
These days people with plastic and cosmetic surgery that goes waaay over the top...... now imagine how gene editing will go with this in mind😅
Yeah. When they said "doing things we don't want them to do" I was thinking about trying to engineer a media standard baby or in some cultures, boys only. Sounds like a nightmare. I prefer the diversity of humanity. I'm very happy with targeting genetic disease but blue eyes and blonde hair? Do we want to live in a Barbie world? 🤢
Struggling can lead us to finding what is truly important...we are made how we are meant to be...don't mess with the design of the creator
There are no gods and your argument is fallicious... You might as well live without modern medicine
I assume you also mean people born gay.
@@kristinwright6632 Actually I meant people pretending to be the oposite gender. However, people I don't believe people are born gay. I believe it is a trauma response, just like people who want to be the wrong gender for them. YaHUaH loves all of us. We all go through struggles. We have to overcome the world by surrendering to YaHUsHa and accepting His gift. We are weak, but He is strong. We can only overcome through Him. I don't think sexually confused people are any worse than the rest of us, if they can humble themselves. Pride is the real problem, thinking we know better than He who knitted us in our mother's womb. If we hide in Our Father and call on His Son we can be saved from the damage done by this world. This is NOT our home!

technically right now we could create a super human. coupled with Ai and you have a demi god
We must remember our humanity, our begins, and while difficulties envelop us and our children, we must seek to innovate proper methods to aid our world.
Methods that will not cause trouble for our people in the long run, methods that do not undermine our Creator. AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO FAITH, still, such a thing would cause great turmoil to a world that is already suffering.
For a science show I take issue with being called humans after the term animal was just used… humans ARE animals, we’re part of the Great Apes family.
Hey dude why did you stop making videos? I found you randomly in this comment section and clicked to check your channel out and clicked a rando video countering some flat earther points or whatever from 2 years ago, found it interesting since I met a hardcore, religious flat earther irl in college lmao. Also you doing good? That single vid I clicked on I saw you smoke and you got kids I hope you quit since then, would be a waste of potential when smoking catches up to you imo
@@Azd1r.3358. thanks for the positive comments.
Nope still smoking sadly, I do need to quit. I took some major health issues with my heart and seizures, so I had stopped and needed motivation to get going again.
I have several channels ranging several interest, and just started a new religious channel focused on Mormonism since that was what I mainly was.
I’d like to get going on here again as well, and redo some older videos smoother than they had been.
Thanks for the kind comments!
@@atheistapostate7019 no problem, and can't wait for the vids, will sub and wait.
I also hope you get better dude, stay safe
We need healthy people. I'm all for editing...

Woah
What year was this produced?
are you asking when CRISPR was invented?
At least 6, 7 years ago, maybe more. They've already cured a person of sickle cell anemia that I know of so I don't get what's taking sooooo long getting it out to the public
If you can keep class out of it make it free then it will be a boon otherwise it will be ruin
God isn’t real. Humans have figured all this out. Which if god was so wonderful why would he create such suffering upon children?! If god is real (he isn’t) he is LAME
Wild stuff
The religious right are the ones screaming the loudest as to why we shouldn't use CRISPR. It could be that whatever God the religious worship, could be relaying information on how to save lives. Which if this god existed, there would be no need in finding ways to save lives. You got too many people who can't seem to lay their woo beliefs aside in order to support the progress of medical science.
I am spiritual and while getting my CRISPR certificate I thought that if God didn't want people to discover this we never would have. This tech is amazing (and terrifying) and should only be used on humans in extreme cases! Altering tomatoes so they can grow in the desert (or space)? Awesome!! No longer having a genetic disorder like sickle cell?? Well, that is something God might approve of. Humanizing pigs (or any animal) to grow organs for us? I don't think this is something God would like. I think God gave up control when he rested on the 7th day; tiny whispers is all we can hope for. It is up to us to do the right thing;)
I'm against it because it's discriminatory to disallow disabled people to exist without informed consent. I like being autistic, I don't want to be cured. I will not approve of intentional discrimination and violation of human rights.
Nothing to do with religion, just your discriminatory ideology.
@@autisticdan6151 Then stay autistic - no one is forcing you to change. Why should you be able to practice your faith if we can't practice our science?
Eugenics Movement 2
Classic example of people oversimplifying a complicated issue.
This will lead to an epidemic called kronenberg
This will create super bugs/viruses
wow human unlock nature secret. for everyone nope. for rich. defenitely
But you can't genome edit a person, only an embryo, surely?
{:o:O:}
well, it worked for the mouse (apparently)
Can we stop comparing powerful new tools with a Swiss army knife.
Why?
@@asterlofts1565 Swiss army knives have been quite outdated for decades now.
@@4CarbideGaming can you stop desiring discrimination and Nazism?
@@autisticdan6151 i don't believe in labels.
@@4CarbideGaming I don't agree with your discriminatory and injurious attitude that certain people don't have the right to live.
Scientific research must be conducted regardless of ethical considerations. We must go further than mere medical interventions
CRISPR the most dangerous tool were not GOD
Is this the same god that created these illnesses?

DNA = "Do Not Alter"
Most ignorant thing I've heard today. Your DNA is constantly being altered it's called evolution... Gradual change.
Meh at this point i welcome the end times dawg lets make some vamp virus 😂
That's literally not what it stands for but okay
How do u think we went from being apes to having the ability to speak! Gene editing by “God” aka the star people!
We are devolving from Adam and not evolving from anything.
Read a second or third book. Superstition holds humanity back from flourishing.

Good luck with that. Do you eat fast food and drink soda? Look at the chemicals added to current things you consume.
