    I don't know why people think the host is dumb, I personally think his style of asking questions was exactly how they should be asked. I as a computer science student didn't feel like "crap I didn't take high school biology so now I don't know what the fuck they're talking about". I was able to follow along perfectly. There is no need to include sophisticated terms when this talk is meant to be shown to the general public. If you want sophisticated stuff go to a university and learn there.

      We criticize because us in the other 95 percentile went to elementary school and learned this. You don't need high school biology. So why do we have to be annoyed because it's geared to the lower 5 percentile that you are in. If he was a good host he would lead the question and then the scientists would explain the whole thing at one time. The conversation would move fluently forward instead of one step forward two steps back. It's all his asking for yes and no questions instead of the scientists answering in summary. The lady scientist on this is so frustrated at how stupid he is. He keeps looking away and laughing. He should just ask the question and not give the question in a multiple choice type style.

Some speculation that this may even be a genetic propensity as my children, brothers, father, uncles, greats, etc are all very good at this too. A lot of engineers and scientists in my families. I taught myself as a young child by getting broken equipment from the town dump and fixing it. I became a scientist, engineer, Inventor and entrepreneur.

As if it was perfect we would have the same DNA as all primates with 48 chromosomes but we do not.... As two of our chromosomes were manipulated and mutilated fusing two of them together and that's all it takes folks to make us a completely different animal not related to anything on this planet whatsoever as we are totally artificial created by another being and not a god of anything or any way possible from the description of the Almighty....

Short explains if what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah sort of explains exactly what Jesus Christ said on his last moment's nailed to the cross forgive them Father for they know not what they do... Jesus was not praying for his death as he wasnt dead yet he was praying that his father was going to do to us with mutilated string of DNA the JC knew what Daddy was going to do after JC was resurrected and sent home ...that would have allowed God another shot on us after JC took his last breath.... Cuz we just ain't made in God's image at all or we wouldn't have to chromosomes melted together we wouldn't have anything wrong with this at all....

      One of the qualifying traits of a living thing is the ability to reproduce on its own so I don't think they're quite there yet in fact viruses aren't even alive and that would be why you can't kill them you just can't kill something that's not alive.
      They're not there yet I'm not real convinced they should be trying that hard with the very limited understanding they bring to bear on the task as I'm sure when they finally do successfully achieve synthetic life it will probably have all kinds of issues and suffered dearly and in the end end up euthanized no doubt and I can't really think of a good reason why we would need to create life when we can readily manipulate already existing life now and we've been doing that for at least a couple of Millennia through selective breeding but you know how people are once they get it in their head and fixate on it it's a done deal at least until there's proof of concept and a couple of failed attempts that makes them rethink their reason for wanting to do it

      Science is a single, international language. Like building the tower of Babel, they are trying to reach God status. As was spoken:
      6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
      You all know what will happen next. All it will take is some nimrod scientist to arrogantly start building so-called superhumans to reach up to God status, all out of DNA bricks.
      Lololol! This type of science is still scifi, thankfully. But if allowed to advance, unchecked, without restraint?! It could happen if civilization were to collapse into a free for all; somewhere in a scientific bunker, where ordinary humans cannot leave the confines of such a place due to toxins, perhaps?

      Accountability would be good but the problem remains the same. I believe the virus was engineered otherwise we should have been able to trace the “parent” of covid 19 and we cant find it in any animal
      How it got to humans is still not known and no “close” relative to the virus despite one of the biggest efforts to find it ever just sound like somewhere in that lab they fucked up

    I think the first questions were pretty interesting, but the host kept going on and on asking questions and the questions just became less and less interesting the more interesting the questions became to him personally it felt like. Some of the questions he asked were just completely unnecessary and just seemed to make the guests feel uncomfortable, in an awkward way. I got the feeling he tried to tell the guests he wasn't just a host, but a special one. He tried his best to ruin the talk, but his guests made sure he failed that.

      As if morality shouldn't be so bold as to intrude upon the domain of science?
      Morality when elevated from the simple instinct level phenomenon many humans posses can become a very scientific area known as ethics and the ethical practice of science or, the unethical practice will become of paramount importance to everyone's daily lives in the future when things like artificial people are made or, should this A.I. machine that is smarter than people be allowed political franchise and, what kinds of weapons should we leave alone.... Ethics are good because they are not religiously based but founded on logic and accountability but few people become ethical without a strong moral sense and a respect for the truth.
      statements like the one you made are scary to me

      well I hope my statement didnt make it sound like I'm against morals or have no morals, I was just annoyed at how this was supposed to be a scientific discussion and the host (who's known for asking these kinds of questions) kept badgering the guests about morals when it seemed clear they all wanted to discuss science. There is indeed a time and place to discuss ethics though.

      Actually due to the heady nature of what they do, there will very likely be a higher over-all I.Q. among them. This should help keep them more sensitive to the ramifications of what they are doing. (but by no means ENSURES it.)
      The larger problem is pretty much always the people running the large corporations that SPONSOR their work. They demand results or threaten to shut down the lab and/or replace them with "results oriented personnel." (Been there, done that.)
      It seems God has been shoved aside and replaced with money. (We can debate which is more evil later.) Forgive me, I am working on the problem but my resources are limited. ;)

    Although I'm far from being an expert, I've heard it often that aging is determined by our chromosomes. That, they are incomplete to sustain normal regeneration processes. Thus, aging is the result that leads to death. If so, then I'd assume their research could either slow down the aging process or eliminate it entirely. Maybe not in the near future, but within a short time period. One thing these guests ignore is the fact they seem preoccupied with the benefits and how such research could be utilized by Big-Pharma, when in fact our population growth is not sustainable and poses a threat to all life on Earth. Therefore, such technology will be available to a mere few at the expense of the masses. In fact, I think there is plenty of evidence to reduce the world's population today despite the efforts of these professionals and their research. What is ironic is the fact research of the past has brought great advancements in medicine, but only to a point. And, new threats in the forms of viruses appear from nowhere to threaten public health and national security. In fact, there is evidence that cancer-causing viruses were engineered in the fifties and sixties yet promising cancer treatments were and are stopped by authoritative measures and agencies. And, this was obvious for the past hundred years.
