Genetic Engineering Will Change Everything Forever – CRISPR

Published 2016-08-10
Designer babies, the end of diseases, genetically modified humans that never age. Outrageous things that used to be science fiction are suddenly becoming reality. The only thing we know for sure is that things will change irreversibly.

    Imagine getting a character creation menu in real life
  • @mandohunter8509
    I love how this was this massive thing and now no one talks about, just coming out of 2023

    Disney in 3019: princess in a poor area that is the only one not genetically engineered. Feels left out
  • @RedPilledAsFuck
    Back in my day there was a physical condition called "ugly"
  • @auraezahra
    i love how your videos don't only show the scientific aspects, but social aspects too! Crisper-cas9 genes may have unlimited benefits, but it's scary to imagine a world where being 'genetically modified' is the standard and those who can't afford it would likely suffer mentally - even physically.(maybe i should write a fictional novel about that hm)
  • @sasariwtf
    I remember watching this in school and HAAAAAATING IT. Now, 5 years later, im watching it for fun! Really just goes to show how dreadful school can make learning :)
  • @saltyne296
    Imagine someone dying at 100 years old and ppl are like “They were so young”
  • @ava-vb9gd
    As a person who wants to pursue genetic engineering, this is really motivating
  • @zoronic6248
    I really hope this technology continues to improve. The incredible scale at which we could end suffering really outweighs the downsides of subjective ethical oppositions. I have some genetic downsides I would really not want passed down to my children or grandchildren. There's no reason they should be subjected to that if it's avoidable.
  • @Alex-to2nh
    Imagine being roasted in school with a "how u artificialy created and still so ugly"
  • @snow.j4792
    Me: so back in my day, we had diseasesー Future Children: crazy old lady be talkin about her epic battle against diseases again
  • @pizzatime7433
    These videos are creative and informative that's why I enjoy watching them
  • @claiminglight
    It is imperative that we address equal access concerns before we begin human modification. But we absolutely need to rush for that goal asap.
  • @j-wilk4835
    God, imagine a world where someone goes "oh get over yourself, it's only stage 4 brain cancer"
  • @abedm1557
    Thank you soooo much. I had a school project on this and didnt understand any of the other videos but this one made it clear as day❤❤
