A look at how CRISPR works, and why it’s stirring scientific imaginations and Orwellian fears.
For more science from The Verge, check out this video about one of the biggest scientific discoveries in decades:

what if they lab makes a mistake , a disabled person is created . …would you like to be in his situation , would you rather not trust evolution to be your mother.
What about Diabetes?
What about any possible long term issues or complications
Don’t play god! Wait, that’s an imaginary sky being!
OMG this was my term paper hahaha 🙂
In Future Problem Solving, we addressed this problem two years ago, to help the future.
God doesn’t exist. So shut up and stop being an obstacle to human advancement.
*CRISPY #teamcrispy
Sounds like China is already ahead of others, hopefully they research isn’t banned.
Gattaca!!!!!
I’m going to make myself look Aryan. Oh wait i already am.
Now we can start having modular beings along with modular smartphones.
Humans have a long history of underestimating the extent of unintended consequences, I’m happy to see our scientific community proceed with caution. On the other hand, I have Cystic Fibrosis myself, so I’m also anxious to see CRISPR’s application, and grateful that my disease just happens to be on it’s early hit list!
Just let Abstergo Industries handle this, it worked out pretty well.
I am confused, because the use of the crisper enzyme has already been known for some time… why now make a video? AP Biology has taught me well 😂.
this sounds scary imho
Epidemic sound track. Yassssss.
This stuff is so excited wtf are you guys bitching about
“baby genuis”
i feel like theres already a secret lab somewhere in the world making mutants
We are all algorithms!
Very good video. Thanks.
Crispr is really a groundbreaking research and scientists are going nuts atm xD
3 Creationists dislike this video.
If you’re interested in learning more about this, I suggest you listen to RadioLab’s podcast about CRISPR. Or any other one, really, they’re all super-interesting.
I thought this was about a Chrome extension that would make cut copying and pasting a lot easier!
This is like in Krypton, where babies are made with a specific purpose.
I think they should definitely be doing this research however I also agree that there needs to be rules in place to limit what we can do down to removal of illness and not used like you said to make babies taller or more likely to be stronger ect coz that sounds like the start of a science fiction novel
So if they changed my DNA would those changes be seen in my offspring?
Why not make a superhuman with this?
deus ex is here
i thought CRISPR is an app. It’s a goddamn acronym.
fuck that old bastard in congress. do whatever as long as its good for people in the future. hes just scared. or working for big pharma who wants to keep treating symptoms forever… never curing the disease, even when its possible.
Simple how much for the kit?
Have they seen Jurassic Park?
I honestly do not see the problem with designer babies.
Of course we first have to make sure of the safety and it should be well regulated and transparent.
But even with that this holds so much potential that we really should do enormous investments into this.
When CRISPR is proven safe then it should be implemented on a society wide scale, every baby should be improved.
