Gundam seed Anime has a whole story about this. Also, the film Gattaca is pretty good and talks about this issue. Gundam seed Plot The series is the first of the Gundam franchise set in the "Cosmic Era" in which humankind is divided between normal Earth dwelling humans, known as "Naturals", and the genetically altered super-humans known as "Coordinators". The primary conflict of the story plot derives from jealous hatred by Naturals of the abilities of Coordinators, leading to hate crimes, and eventually the emigration of almost all Coordinators who flee into space to live idyllic lives on giant orbital space colonies called PLANTS of their own design. War eventually breaks out between Earth and the PLANTS. The Earth is divided between two major factions, the Earth Forces formed from most of the natural born human nations, primarily the Eurasians and the Atlantic Federation, and a natural human supremacist group known as Blue Cosmos with its slogan, "For the preservation of our blue and pure world". The Earth Forces are not a unified alliance, and infighting and mistrust exist between their various nation states. The second major Earth nation is the Orb Union, a staunchly politically neutral and isolationist nation located on small Pacific Ocean islands ruled by a hereditary monarchy and still contains Coordinator citizens. Gattaca Plot In the "not-too-distant" future, eugenics is common. A genetic registry database uses biometrics to classify those so created as "valids" while those conceived naturally and more susceptible to genetic disorders are known as "in-valids". Genetic discrimination is illegal, but in practice genotype profiling is used to identify valids to qualify for professional employment while in-valids are relegated to menial jobs.
sounds good on the outside but messing with dna cant have a good outcome. billions of years of evolution and some scientist with maybe 20 years experience thinks he knows better... i dont think so
Counterpoint: We no longer allow natural selection to maintain functional genes; for the entirety of human history up until the last century certain genetic expressions were an automatic death sentence. One of the most obvious every day ones is hips for women - if your hips were too narrow, you would most likely die in childbirth. Now that we have safe C-sections women with narrow hips and men carrying that gene for narrow hips are able to put their genetics forward to the next generation. If it is possible to tweak the human genome to allow for hips wide enough to readily accommodate childbirth, that would be a reasonable use of gene editing software. Preventing certain genetic disorders, such as down syndrome would also be a reasonable use of this technology. Technology is neutral it is how mankind uses or abuses it that matters.
If we "evolved" over billions of years, then this is just removing the randomness of the process in order to "move us forward". If we were actual created however, then this may actually be messing with a design (any time it focuses on something other than fixing diseases and disorders, and potentially even if it does attempt to focus on those things)
With respect, I do not believe we need the wisdom of billions of years of evolution to understand how two well-functioning and completely formed arms would generally be vastly more preferrable to the alternative. Or two well-functioning and completely formed eyes. Errors in biology happen very frequently, and modern medicine has allowed an astronomically greater rise in fully functioning people with defects to remain well past their previous life expectancies. I do not loathe these people so much that I would not wish for them to at least have the opportunity at a life more to their liking, were the science and research at that point. For example, seeing children born deaf or blind to some degree finally being able to more properly hear or see their parents through the assistance of electronic devices is, in my humble opinion, a net positive to denying them even the possibility in its entirety, because it would be "playing god".
Such an underrated comment. (Edit: the comment was like 5 minutes old when I posted this one). It would completely revolutionize the plastic surgery industry, to include (if they could) transgender people.
I remember reading about this twenty years ago. There’s a book called Remaking Eden, already discussing how we were headed this way to the point where we will eventually have two separate species
the thing is fiction has always been something that someway tured into reality for example phone was a fiction at one point in time at one point going to space was a fiction as well fiction and reality are connected the things that are fiction now might turn out to be reality at one point in time so there no saying fiction can be reality
There's a great Kurzgezagt video about this exact subject that came out a few years ago that gives the deets on the physiology and social impact. Good coverage PBD
Patrick, check out the 1997 film “Gattaca” (if you haven’t yet), starting Eathan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Good story, and the director/writer pretty much summed up your monologue into a 1hr and 40min long flick that’s actually a pretty decent watch (definitely quality above what Hollywood peddles nowadays).
I notice that most of the people actually discussing CRISPR in this context have no first-hand experience with using it, and don't realize how long it takes to actually implement a single base pair alteration (e.g. for a virus or bacteria being researched) using CRISPR on even a small number of cells. Aside from the fact that CRISPR technology is at least 15 years old (if we could somehow get "designer babies" from it we would have done so by now), the process of gene editing itself is nowhere near instantaneous (and there is no way to increase its speed, as this is largely subject to hard physical limitations on molecular transport) and therefore highly inconvenient as a method of broad genetic modification and used quite sparingly in research labs. The FDA approval for HbS works only because in the vast majority of cases of sickle cell trait/disease the cause is a well-known *single* nucleotide/base pair mutation, and thus CRISPR is sufficient to make this single edit in utero/in vivo. It should also be noted that sickle cell trait (not full-blown disease) is protective against malaria, which is believed to be the reason why it has persisted in those whose ancestry is rooted in places where malaria is/was historically endemic, e.g. sub-Saharan Africa, the eastern Mediterranean/the Levant, and the Indian subcontinent. Nearly all other traits or diseases are nowhere near as simple and are often controlled by several genes of many base pairs (in some cases hundreds) each, and thus not practical or appropriate targets for CRISPR gene editing. EDIT: The FDA-approved treatment involves the modification of a patient's own stem cells via CRISPR and then re-transfusion back into the patient. Note that the approval is for patients *12 years and older*, i.e. not babies or fetuses. Again, the reason why this works is probably because this is likely a single-nucleotide modification and therefore not a multi-gene edit (which prior research has shown to be problematic). Any patients receiving this treatment will be monitored for years to come, for obvious reasons (the side effect profile includes immunosuppression), and as a result despite FDA approval I suspect that the number of patients actually receiving this treatment over the next decade will be relatively limited compared to the total number of people who have sickle cell disease/trait. People need to keep in mind that the "designer baby" idea is ancient. The Spartans discarded babies that did not meet certain criteria. Every time a potentially-viable baby is aborted today, he/she is being sorted out of existence. It is immoral, but people and societies have been sorting babies for a very long time. Fortunately it does not appear that CRISPR will be a precision tool for this end.
@@Poussyeater-w5e Germline modifications via CRISPR were already attempted in China a decade ago (~2014/5), and the published results from those trials (which were failures in attempting to correct a mutation causing beta thalassemia and to make embryos HIV-resistant) specifically noted that CRISPR was not ready/sufficient for genome editing of the sort people are imagining right now. EDIT: Reports also indicate that CRISPR-edited human cells have a high (~40%) risk of not being able to properly repair DNA damage (we sustain DNA damage all the time from things such as cosmic radiation, and our bodies are constantly repairing this damage), and thus have a dramatically-increased risk of developing cancer (i.e. accumulation of unrepaired mutations).
You could go to Mexico about 10’years ago and get genetically modified babies. They approved it here in the USA now but it’s a technology that has existed a long time. They also already can enhance humans they’ve done trials on actual adults with illness. Only 1 died. They definitely have the technology. I’m chronically ill and I have high hopes for it. I am very scared of the consequences though. The fact that they can also create something lethal is scary.
@@whitebroccoli694 No. Each enzyme used can only target a single sequence/nucleotide. If you want to target another sequence, you need to develop a new enzyme for the new sequence (which so far has taken years for each enzyme, not to mention the fact that we still haven't discovered the target sequences for most genes/diseases), and then run CRISPR again (depending on the number of cells you're trying to modify, a single CRISPR run can take days). You can, however, use CRISPR to transplant entire sections or segments of sequences, if the section/segment is bound/capped on both ends by the same sequence.
This video didn’t mention the most impactful dynamic that this tech will create. The dynamic of people with gene edited babies vs non-edited babies. It’ll be an arms race of sorts. I highly recommend for Pat to invite Jean Francois Gariepy to talk about this. JFG is also a commentator plus a former scientist at Yale and he can walk them through it all
it will be all the rage for a few years then people will want and value non gmo organic super greens fed babies grown in high nutrient free range wombs
I'm from South Africa and I remember my Life science(biology) teacher telling the same story when we were doing the {genetic engineering} topic and we all said he was telling lies, and now I'm shocked😅
Those (franken)babies weren't (or wouldn't be, assuming they haven't yet tried this technique) even created from a sperm and egg cell. They're trying to create soulless humans.

You went off the rails with this one, if your kids had genetic disorders you will do it in millisecond. This is a major breakthrough for human health. I agree that we should be careful but millions of people are suffering from genetic diseases
@@b.shes.2643cringe, that’s what the poor people said and look at them now: still poor. The rich will never allow a peasant like you to join their community and benefits.
Millions have diseases caused by our toxic lifestyles, prior to conception, during gestation, and post birth. They call them "genetic" diseases but for most its only predisposition. The environment (on multiple levels) pulls the trigger. Genetics simply load the gun. Much truth out there by real experts, MDs, PhDs, you name it. As just one example, look at what Dr Stephanie Seneff from MIT says about Glyphosate, what it does, and it's on vast majority of our food in the USA. Also what she says about vaccines. Quack? Or honest researcher whom the controlled fake news won't allow to be heard? Endless examples of these fyi.
@@slinkye254I totally agree with your comment, except from the timeline. I think this will be fully matured and available in less than 20 years, probably 15.
I worked in a CRISPR lab. Doesn't go as quick as you think. Still too many variables we don't understand and off-target effects that make positive results coincidental
Studies have shown that women under 35 have success rates of around 20% per cycle with artificial insemination; however, this success rate decreases as women age. Women over 35 have success rates of approximately 10% per cycle, and women over 40 have success rates of around 5% per cycle. Who is going to blow 200k per a go when you have a 80 to 95% failure rate.... Then look at how many of these children come out as expected... So, you have a 80% chance of failure, then who knows what percentage actually develop as expected after birth...
I’d argue that the tech is much like computers back in the 1950’s and 1960’s. They were the size of a room and could only perform basic calculations. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that they shrunk down significantly and became more user friendly for the average person. Right now CRISPR is too clunky to perform complex genetic modifications and it isn’t very user friendly, but give the tech 10-20 years and a couple more breakthroughs and it will revolutionize the way we live.
Just because you work in a CRISPR lab doesn't mean you understand how the technology evolves on a societal scale. Discovering CRISPR was the hard part, scaling it is easy.
Personally this is going to happen whether we like it or not. Very similar to the internet, it is going to come down in cost to perform gene editing. If one country bans it, there will always be another country that allows it. It is good to raise awareness about the bad effects of this technology but banning it outright wouldn't be the solution and won't be successful.
I have Follicular Lymphoma, a slow growing cancer that is manageable but not curable. Doctors say it’s in my “Gene’s,” so this could be big help for me and others. There will always be bad stuff people do with different technologies, but don’t let fear keep us locked out from reaching our full potential as humans. God didn’t give us wings, but gave us ability to fly. God didn’t give us 4 legs, but gave us dominion over animals. God didn’t give us, language, but gave us a tongue. God didn’t give us a house, but gave us the means to build it. Have faith.
Mate, I am a medical scientist who has worked heavily in cancer diagnostics. I've lost a mother, father in law, an many friends to cancer which is a different beast to genetic diseases. Most FL express multiple mutations (around 4) unlike SC which is one. Single hereditary genetic mutations are the low hanging fruit using this type of tech. Its use in cancers are decades away. There is more promise in killer T cell-like therapies for leukemias and lymphomas. Have faith brother, 2 Corinthians 12:9, all will happen according to His will.
Good chance this industry lies about cancer being genetic. As cancer is down to cells being destroyed by shite diets and has increased over the year’s without cure then these people are using cancer to slip in this tech.
I found a lucrative English teaching job online in China and it turns out I was working for the boss of a certain Chinese mafia. He had 8 kids: a girl, a boy, by his wife; twin boys by another woman; genetically-altered triplet boys by a third woman. He had so many children because the first sets of children weren't "good enough". He wanted a male to carry out his legacy. Two of the three triplets (and perhaps the third, as well) were violent little sociopaths, just like daddy wanted. I say this because the kids were in a bizarrely strict study schedule (they basically wanted them in structured learning 24/7) and when the eldest boy just wanted a few minutes away to play with legos, his father immediately saw that on the app that had all the house cameras and kicked the boy into a fetal position. He leaves the room and then two of the three triplets come and kick their (barely) older brother in the back as well. When I saw this, stabilized the situation, then went to the bathroom and ended up crying (for less time than it takes to go to the bathroom), and then got fired for not continuing to discipline the eldest.
I’m 34.. when I was in like 6 grade AT SCHOOL here in America our teachers made us watch this video on basically designing yourbaby. To be smarter, athletic, eye color hair color etc. the documentary we watched was as if it was already being done. This was over 15 years ago. I would not be surprised if they were preprogramming of some sort
We can’t modify things like that because we don’t know what gene combinations factor into personality. It’s also known that at least 40% of a person’s personality is formed through life experiences so gene editing won’t change too much on that front. Phenotype editing like eye color, height, etc is easier to modify since we already have a rough idea of which genes control for them. Besides, I think it would be in the best interest of insurance companies and other organizations to help people for the simple reason that they want you to work for as long as possible without you having to use their services. The majority of a person’s medical expenses occur near the end of their lives, so these companies have an enormous incentive to make you as healthy as possible for as long as possible because it’s more money in their pockets and less being payed out to hospitals and drug companies
My newborn great niece born in Colorado had a rare genetic disorder called SMA spinal muscular Atrophy. Similar to muscular dystrophy although some newborns die within the first year.They were able to use some new gene therapy to correct the bad gene. It was a $4 million dollar treatment with a team of 16 doctors. I suspect it was some form of Crispr although no one in my family is really able to explain to me exactly what the gene therapy was.
You should interview the main leaders in this industry to talk about the latest research and where they are heading. Netflix Unnatural selection documentary was the open door to the public to understand the timeline of all of these advances. Please do the same.
I've been following CRISPR for years and I'm all for it. They need to use it as a cure for the autism epidemic, in particular. That's not playing God, that's helping the less fortunate like a good Christian.
I’m visually impaired legally blind Gene therapy seems to be some hope But gene editing is not a joke If a minor thing goes wrong in the editing it mess up the person life
I am a PhD student and in Fall 2023, one of the questions in final semester exam was on applications of CRISPR in management of bacterial disease . Its a good technology if you study it
AI is more like the natural conclusion of the internet revolution, much like how the jet engine eases for aviation. There have been more advancements since then, but few seemed to have really had an impact on civilian life after this point. AI, in my opinion, will be the last major breakthrough from Silicon Valley. Gene editing on the other hand is more like the personal computer in the 1970’s prior to Apple getting their hands on the tech from IBM. Apple was able to make the product cheaper and more user friendly for everyone. Gene editing tech is more or less ready for public use, but it doesn’t have the proper user interface to make it practical yet
Designer babies will not happen any time soon. But curing diseases and potentially cancer absolutely. I think by 2030 we will have a couple of approved CRISPR therapies. First cancer treated probably comes in by 2030 I suspect. CRISPR technology is for real, and I've covered the companies in this space for years now. Welcome to the CRISPR community.🧬
He's talking about the report from China. China imprisoned the scientist who was found to do something like this. CRISPR edits from therapeutics do not modify the germline, so even if you are cured from SCD, you still can pass it on to your children.@@mml3140
The designer baby has already been done by the Chinese Scientist. So you statement “will not happen any time soon” is a false statement. Do not under estimate the pace of technological advancement. I think you are thinking way too linearly instead of exponentially.
In case someone at Valuetainment sees this, I would like to make a suggestion about your 2nd camera angle. The side profile looks weird and it loses audience engagement. It's much better to stack the two cameras next to each other, one being a WS & the other a CU
You’re committing eugenics when you chose a mate to have sex with and reject the other because they’re not good looking enough. Get off the high horse.
It's gonna take a long time to get the designer babies. I think they'll be all the rage for 8-12 months, then the first ones will be born, and rather than their 6'5" blonde boy that wears size 13 shoes, they'll get a bowl of jello. It'll take a long time to get over that

@travelrs1491 when did it become unnatural? When life first spouted on this planet? When we discovered fire? When we made the internet? We've been on this path since the moment God, or whatever u believe in, put us here - no matter how you look at it. Technology is as natural as anything else. We went from single celled organisms, to complex organisms, to organisms with brains , to organisms with big frontal lobes, to technology. How can it not be natural if it's operating by the laws of nature? And it's also been provided by nature.
Was looking for this comment. I said the same thing. No doubt it will divide society just like in the movie. Bc people like me will have kids the natural way.
Problem is we just don’t know enough of the longer term effects and the “epigenetics” of what happens when we do this and then pass those modified genes down to offspring
"Can you imagine if you can do that!?" You can do that today Pat - if your partner is taller, darker, skinnier, etc. Your child is more likely to inherit those genes. My question for you is what % are you comfortable with. My challenge is taking the randomness out of it actuallly endangers humans because we may all become too similar
This will enable people even further into their poor habits. Genetics load the gun, but diet and lifestyle pulls the trigger. Doctors need to tell you to cut out alcohol, drugs, processed foods, add clean organic foods, exercise daily and many of these issues would go away. That won't happen because The FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) work together to make eachother profitable.

Fun fact in the early 00's Gundam Series had a story that revolved around teenagers getting caught on a space war between Modified and Natural Humans and how they subtly tackled of gene modified humans (coordinators) and the general reaction of the majority(naturals) how it severely causes unfair situations for people who honed their skills and abilities only to be outdone by modified geniuses which is decades younger than them; Which in term caused a very deep hatred towards these modified humans causing decades of chaos and bloodshed. The two that broke the camel's back for the coordinators was when Coordinator Jesus got brutally murdered causing most to flee on multiple artificial space cities He single-handedly made and a Nuclear bomb was sent by the world government struck one of these innocent cities. It may be "Anime" but damn...... TLDR: future war started between natural born humans and genetically modified humans (coordinators). Protagonist is secretly coordinator with no choice but to fight for Earth "Army" This was literally pure fiction back then, never expect for this to be slowly becoming a reality..... So yeah if this becomes normalized then expect some people literally gonna abuse this......

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;” Matthew 24:37-38 NIV People forget that the reason for the flood was the corruption of DNA.
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created-and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground-for I regret that I have made them.”” Genesis 6:4-7 NIV
Is this the process where they send a cancer patient's bone marrow to the lab to be "trained" to go after the particular cancer the patient is fighting and then the marrow is reinstalled into the patient?
This is an active discussion in which ethically, CRISPR and other even more advanced gene editing biotechnology can only be applied to somatic cells (cells which can’t be passed down to future generations) vs Germ line cells (cells which can be passed down to future generations like eye color, height etc).
No one ponders why GOD'S Wrath will be unleashed upon the Earth. This is exactly why. Ever since the Fallen ones past forbidden knowledge unto mankind, humanity has taken it upon themselves to re design what GOD has already made perfect. But...I Digress !!!!
I'm glad I'm old. It's hard to keep pace with this advancing technology that I hardly understand. I won't be around to see designer humans and the effects of this science fiction, for the good and for the bad. The idea of editing out severe disease sounds really good but what's the flip side? Is there a flip side? Who knows? Good luck humans
Or maybe lots of people won't suffer horribly. A lot of us alive today are suffering seriously because we have genetic mutations that cannot be fixed and it is a lifelong sentence. All tools can be used for good or bad. We should not shun things for good because bad can try to use it too.

This is the comment.
That’s a sin.Literally.
Then military technology. No public discourse, voting, or consent over era changing technology.
I did a essay on this at uni. Its crazy to me the how powerful the people who have this technology could become
what's scary also is the DNA printers that the public will have at some point.
Yeah but cancer treatment still "doesnt exist". People keep dying and getting sicker and sicker
They already clone people without their consent

Likewise, “Designer Babies.” Was the essay.
I remember reading about this twenty years ago. There’s a book called Remaking Eden, already discussing how we were headed this way to the point where we will eventually have two separate species
I don't understand how people try to use fiction as valid support for reality.
@@KimChi-wz7mk Its called thinking through the possibilities and even though its fiction it is a possibility.
the thing is fiction has always been something that someway tured into reality for example phone was a fiction at one point in time at one point going to space was a fiction as well fiction and reality are connected the things that are fiction now might turn out to be reality at one point in time so there no saying fiction can be reality
How about lightsabers, or ships that can travel faster than the speed of light? Will those things become reality anytime soon?
@@Justajawnie I don't think you understand how logic works. A possibility is not support for facts.

Always enjoy your content PBD
Patrick, check out the 1997 film “Gattaca” (if you haven’t yet), starting Eathan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Good story, and the director/writer pretty much summed up your monologue into a 1hr and 40min long flick that’s actually a pretty decent watch (definitely quality above what Hollywood peddles nowadays).
Amazing movie, may the truly human spirit triumph !
Great "movie"....lol . Hollywood prepped us all for this 😢
In life, I will forever be grateful for health, wealth and a great professional whose help has been great for my finances.
I notice that most of the people actually discussing CRISPR in this context have no first-hand experience with using it, and don't realize how long it takes to actually implement a single base pair alteration (e.g. for a virus or bacteria being researched) using CRISPR on even a small number of cells. Aside from the fact that CRISPR technology is at least 15 years old (if we could somehow get "designer babies" from it we would have done so by now), the process of gene editing itself is nowhere near instantaneous (and there is no way to increase its speed, as this is largely subject to hard physical limitations on molecular transport) and therefore highly inconvenient as a method of broad genetic modification and used quite sparingly in research labs.
The FDA approval for HbS works only because in the vast majority of cases of sickle cell trait/disease the cause is a well-known *single* nucleotide/base pair mutation, and thus CRISPR is sufficient to make this single edit in utero/in vivo. It should also be noted that sickle cell trait (not full-blown disease) is protective against malaria, which is believed to be the reason why it has persisted in those whose ancestry is rooted in places where malaria is/was historically endemic, e.g. sub-Saharan Africa, the eastern Mediterranean/the Levant, and the Indian subcontinent. Nearly all other traits or diseases are nowhere near as simple and are often controlled by several genes of many base pairs (in some cases hundreds) each, and thus not practical or appropriate targets for CRISPR gene editing.
EDIT: The FDA-approved treatment involves the modification of a patient's own stem cells via CRISPR and then re-transfusion back into the patient. Note that the approval is for patients *12 years and older*, i.e. not babies or fetuses. Again, the reason why this works is probably because this is likely a single-nucleotide modification and therefore not a multi-gene edit (which prior research has shown to be problematic).
Any patients receiving this treatment will be monitored for years to come, for obvious reasons (the side effect profile includes immunosuppression), and as a result despite FDA approval I suspect that the number of patients actually receiving this treatment over the next decade will be relatively limited compared to the total number of people who have sickle cell disease/trait.
People need to keep in mind that the "designer baby" idea is ancient. The Spartans discarded babies that did not meet certain criteria. Every time a potentially-viable baby is aborted today, he/she is being sorted out of existence. It is immoral, but people and societies have been sorting babies for a very long time. Fortunately it does not appear that CRISPR will be a precision tool for this end.
The way you've explained it lessens the potential negative impact of it. I hope you're right.
Why do you say crispr only for editing single base? If it can edit one it can edit more than one right.
@@Poussyeater-w5e Germline modifications via CRISPR were already attempted in China a decade ago (~2014/5), and the published results from those trials (which were failures in attempting to correct a mutation causing beta thalassemia and to make embryos HIV-resistant) specifically noted that CRISPR was not ready/sufficient for genome editing of the sort people are imagining right now.
EDIT: Reports also indicate that CRISPR-edited human cells have a high (~40%) risk of not being able to properly repair DNA damage (we sustain DNA damage all the time from things such as cosmic radiation, and our bodies are constantly repairing this damage), and thus have a dramatically-increased risk of developing cancer (i.e. accumulation of unrepaired mutations).
You could go to Mexico about 10’years ago and get genetically modified babies. They approved it here in the USA now but it’s a technology that has existed a long time. They also already can enhance humans they’ve done trials on actual adults with illness. Only 1 died. They definitely have the technology. I’m chronically ill and I have high hopes for it. I am very scared of the consequences though. The fact that they can also create something lethal is scary.
@@whitebroccoli694 No. Each enzyme used can only target a single sequence/nucleotide. If you want to target another sequence, you need to develop a new enzyme for the new sequence (which so far has taken years for each enzyme, not to mention the fact that we still haven't discovered the target sequences for most genes/diseases), and then run CRISPR again (depending on the number of cells you're trying to modify, a single CRISPR run can take days).
You can, however, use CRISPR to transplant entire sections or segments of sequences, if the section/segment is bound/capped on both ends by the same sequence.
This video didn’t mention the most impactful dynamic that this tech will create. The dynamic of people with gene edited babies vs non-edited babies. It’ll be an arms race of sorts. I highly recommend for Pat to invite Jean Francois Gariepy to talk about this. JFG is also a commentator plus a former scientist at Yale and he can walk them through it all
Upvote and a reply so hopefully Pat or someone on the team will see this. I think you should X this to him, as well.

You went off the rails with this one, if your kids had genetic disorders you will do it in millisecond. This is a major breakthrough for human health. I agree that we should be careful but millions of people are suffering from genetic diseases
Millions of people don't have enough food, water and medicine either. It will be for the rich.
This will be for me regardless of the cost, and if it isn't sold/given to me and people like me, we will take it for ourselves.
@@b.shes.2643cringe, that’s what the poor people said and look at them now: still poor. The rich will never allow a peasant like you to join their community and benefits.
Millions have diseases caused by our toxic lifestyles, prior to conception, during gestation, and post birth. They call them "genetic" diseases but for most its only predisposition. The environment (on multiple levels) pulls the trigger. Genetics simply load the gun. Much truth out there by real experts, MDs, PhDs, you name it.
As just one example, look at what Dr Stephanie Seneff from MIT says about Glyphosate, what it does, and it's on vast majority of our food in the USA. Also what she says about vaccines. Quack? Or honest researcher whom the controlled fake news won't allow to be heard? Endless examples of these fyi.

@Valuetainment Happy to connect with your team and discuss
I worked in a CRISPR lab. Doesn't go as quick as you think. Still too many variables we don't understand and off-target effects that make positive results coincidental
Studies have shown that women under 35 have success rates of around 20% per cycle with artificial insemination; however, this success rate decreases as women age. Women over 35 have success rates of approximately 10% per cycle, and women over 40 have success rates of around 5% per cycle.
Who is going to blow 200k per a go when you have a 80 to 95% failure rate.... Then look at how many of these children come out as expected...
So, you have a 80% chance of failure, then who knows what percentage actually develop as expected after birth...
I’d argue that the tech is much like computers back in the 1950’s and 1960’s. They were the size of a room and could only perform basic calculations. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that they shrunk down significantly and became more user friendly for the average person. Right now CRISPR is too clunky to perform complex genetic modifications and it isn’t very user friendly, but give the tech 10-20 years and a couple more breakthroughs and it will revolutionize the way we live.
Just because you work in a CRISPR lab doesn't mean you understand how the technology evolves on a societal scale. Discovering CRISPR was the hard part, scaling it is easy.
Hey i want to ask you something can crispr change skin color?
Hello, i wanna ask you something, could CRISPR Technology be a solution for clinefertel syndrome (47 xxy)?
Forget about designer babies, I want to edit my genes NOW at 47.
You need to interview Dr. David Martin to discuss this topic.
Personally this is going to happen whether we like it or not. Very similar to the internet, it is going to come down in cost to perform gene editing. If one country bans it, there will always be another country that allows it. It is good to raise awareness about the bad effects of this technology but banning it outright wouldn't be the solution and won't be successful.
Thank god this is finally making it to bigger audiences…
Can't believe i just heard Patrick explaining me the technique i am learning of in school😂
Love videos like this. I send one to my family and friends and boom! I got PBD in their algorithm. 😊
I have Follicular Lymphoma, a slow growing cancer that is manageable but not curable. Doctors say it’s in my “Gene’s,” so this could be big help for me and others. There will always be bad stuff people do with different technologies, but don’t let fear keep us locked out from reaching our full potential as humans.
God didn’t give us wings, but gave us ability to fly. God didn’t give us 4 legs, but gave us dominion over animals. God didn’t give us, language, but gave us a tongue. God didn’t give us a house, but gave us the means to build it.
Have faith.
Mate, I am a medical scientist who has worked heavily in cancer diagnostics. I've lost a mother, father in law, an many friends to cancer which is a different beast to genetic diseases. Most FL express multiple mutations (around 4) unlike SC which is one. Single hereditary genetic mutations are the low hanging fruit using this type of tech. Its use in cancers are decades away. There is more promise in killer T cell-like therapies for leukemias and lymphomas. Have faith brother, 2 Corinthians 12:9, all will happen according to His will.
Good chance this industry lies about cancer being genetic. As cancer is down to cells being destroyed by shite diets and has increased over the year’s without cure then these people are using cancer to slip in this tech.
I found a lucrative English teaching job online in China and it turns out I was working for the boss of a certain Chinese mafia. He had 8 kids: a girl, a boy, by his wife; twin boys by another woman; genetically-altered triplet boys by a third woman. He had so many children because the first sets of children weren't "good enough". He wanted a male to carry out his legacy. Two of the three triplets (and perhaps the third, as well) were violent little sociopaths, just like daddy wanted. I say this because the kids were in a bizarrely strict study schedule (they basically wanted them in structured learning 24/7) and when the eldest boy just wanted a few minutes away to play with legos, his father immediately saw that on the app that had all the house cameras and kicked the boy into a fetal position. He leaves the room and then two of the three triplets come and kick their (barely) older brother in the back as well. When I saw this, stabilized the situation, then went to the bathroom and ended up crying (for less time than it takes to go to the bathroom), and then got fired for not continuing to discipline the eldest.
this is crazy. you should submit this story to a news paper with some evidence
@@samuraijosh1595 Triads have reach.
I’m 34.. when I was in like 6 grade AT SCHOOL here in America our teachers made us watch this video on basically designing yourbaby. To be smarter, athletic, eye color hair color etc. the documentary we watched was as if it was already being done. This was over 15 years ago. I would not be surprised if they were preprogramming of some sort
They talk about visible characteristics like eye color or something and then they secretly modify things like willpower and integrity
I'm thinking the Pope was the first crispr baby
We can’t modify things like that because we don’t know what gene combinations factor into personality. It’s also known that at least 40% of a person’s personality is formed through life experiences so gene editing won’t change too much on that front. Phenotype editing like eye color, height, etc is easier to modify since we already have a rough idea of which genes control for them.
Besides, I think it would be in the best interest of insurance companies and other organizations to help people for the simple reason that they want you to work for as long as possible without you having to use their services. The majority of a person’s medical expenses occur near the end of their lives, so these companies have an enormous incentive to make you as healthy as possible for as long as possible because it’s more money in their pockets and less being payed out to hospitals and drug companies
My newborn great niece born in Colorado had a rare genetic disorder called SMA spinal muscular Atrophy. Similar to muscular dystrophy although some newborns die within the first year.They were able to use some new gene therapy to correct the bad gene. It was a $4 million dollar treatment with a team of 16 doctors. I suspect it was some form of Crispr although no one in my family is really able to explain to me exactly what the gene therapy was.
They are on their way to helping with a functional cure for type 1 diabetes as well

I've been following CRISPR for years and I'm all for it. They need to use it as a cure for the autism epidemic, in particular. That's not playing God, that's helping the less fortunate like a good Christian.

Gene editing on the other hand is more like the personal computer in the 1970’s prior to Apple getting their hands on the tech from IBM. Apple was able to make the product cheaper and more user friendly for everyone.

Outstanding. Thank you for this information
Designer babies will not happen any time soon. But curing diseases and potentially cancer absolutely. I think by 2030 we will have a couple of approved CRISPR therapies. First cancer treated probably comes in by 2030 I suspect. CRISPR technology is for real, and I've covered the companies in this space for years now. Welcome to the CRISPR community.🧬
It’s happening now.
Can you respond to Jerry's claim ?
He's talking about the report from China. China imprisoned the scientist who was found to do something like this. CRISPR edits from therapeutics do not modify the germline, so even if you are cured from SCD, you still can pass it on to your children.@@mml3140
The designer baby has already been done by the Chinese Scientist. So you statement “will not happen any time soon” is a false statement. Do not under estimate the pace of technological advancement. I think you are thinking way too linearly instead of exponentially.
In case someone at Valuetainment sees this, I would like to make a suggestion about your 2nd camera angle. The side profile looks weird and it loses audience engagement. It's much better to stack the two cameras next to each other, one being a WS & the other a CU

We've been on this path since the moment God, or whatever u believe in, put us here - no matter how you look at it. Technology is as natural as anything else. We went from single celled organisms, to complex organisms, to organisms with brains , to organisms with big frontal lobes, to technology. How can it not be natural if it's operating by the laws of nature? And it's also been provided by nature.

Problem is we just don’t know enough of the longer term effects and the “epigenetics” of what happens when we do this and then pass those modified genes down to offspring
"Can you imagine if you can do that!?"
You can do that today Pat - if your partner is taller, darker, skinnier, etc. Your child is more likely to inherit those genes.
My question for you is what % are you comfortable with. My challenge is taking the randomness out of it actuallly endangers humans because we may all become too similar
Is there a danger in being too similar?
This will enable people even further into their poor habits. Genetics load the gun, but diet and lifestyle pulls the trigger.

Fun fact in the early 00's Gundam Series had a story that revolved around teenagers getting caught on a space war between Modified and Natural Humans and how they subtly tackled of gene modified humans (coordinators) and the general reaction of the majority(naturals) how it severely causes unfair situations for people who honed their skills and abilities only to be outdone by modified geniuses which is decades younger than them; Which in term caused a very deep hatred towards these modified humans causing decades of chaos and bloodshed. The two that broke the camel's back for the coordinators was when Coordinator Jesus got brutally murdered causing most to flee on multiple artificial space cities He single-handedly made and a Nuclear bomb was sent by the world government struck one of these innocent cities. It may be "Anime" but damn......
TLDR: future war started between natural born humans and genetically modified humans (coordinators).
Protagonist is secretly coordinator with no choice but to fight for Earth "Army"
This was literally pure fiction back then, never expect for this to be slowly becoming a reality.....
So yeah if this becomes normalized then expect some people literally gonna abuse this......

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;”
Matthew 24:37-38 NIV
People forget that the reason for the flood was the corruption of DNA.
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created-and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground-for I regret that I have made them.””
