  • Gavriel’s time is running out. As a little boy he was still able to run and play football. Now
    he’s 15 and wheelchair bound, and his muscles are getting weaker all the time. Duchenne
    Muscular Dystrophy has so far been seen as incurable. But for the first time there are
    grounds for hope because of a new tool from the genetic laboratory: ‘Crispr’ enables
    scientists to alter the genomes of all living organisms faster, more economically and more
    precisely than ever before. “Crispr" will revolutionise medicine, says paediatrician Ronald
    Cohn.
    He’s working in Toronto on a new therapy that could save Gavriel and thousands of
    other children along with him. ‘Crispr’ can also be used to give plants completely new characteristics: resistance against pests or drought. In the US the first Crispr plants are already in the fields.
    Even some organic farmers see new opportunities in the innovative breeding method and have doubts whether the total rejection of genetic engineering they’ve espoused till now is still justified.
    Othersare warning about new dangers. They’re afraid of opening Pandora’s Box and interfering
    with evolution. The new technology, after all, could not only cure diseases and produce new
    seeds, but also create designer babies in the future.
    For the first time, genome interventions are possible, which until now have been merely utopian dreams or horror scenarios.
    Just how great are the opportunities and the risks? The film looks for answers in Germany,
    the US and Canada. After more than a year’s research, visiting geneticists, physicians, patients and plant breeders, filmmaker Claudia Ruby reveals what is already happening in laboratories and clinics, in greenhouses and trial fields without the knowledge of the public at large. The film interviews both supporters and opponents, who are all agreed on one thing at least: an intensive public discussion is urgently needed. Because ‘Crispr’ can dramatically affect all our lives.

      @robinwavestou5526- When I was a kid, I had maybe ten shots ( or less) that had to be taken. They weren't given 'til the child was at least 6 years old. Now, it's my understanding that approx 60 different vaccines are being given to kids BEFORE they reach the age of 6 years. Has anyone researched this ? I have no idea.

      @@chloeroberts6652we will never know the reason for it, but we know about the presence of dioxins and other poisons in the environment !
      It's hard to just blame the vaccines.
      Over use of antibiotics has an impact on our brain, especially knowing that our brain still develops till we're nearly 30 years old.
      We have toxic dyes present in our clothes, chemicals in leather shoes, furniture, floor varnishes, glue in wooden cutting boards, Teflon frying pans, plastic cooking utensils people use to stir food whist cooking and the list goes on and on!
      We assume if something is sold in shops, it's safe to use and that's completely wrong!

    Crispr is genetic modification. It is just a different technique being used to genetically modify something. So here's my question, as I am not an expert in the field. Is GM corn less nourishing than regular corn ? If it is the same, then what is the problem with doing the same to other crops, but using the Crispr technique instead? When it comes to fixing a gene in a human body, it should be up to the person who is being fixed and no one else. I remember DMD from the Jerry Lewis Labour Day telethons. I think for 30 years this telethon went on and millions were poured into research and it seems nothing has really changed. Obviously there has to be full disclosure to the person looking to have the Crispr technique done. The fact that gene modification failed and the patient died several years ago and it lead to a massive set back is appalling. This is not a done deal. This is in the testing stage. It means all kinds of things can go wrong, but each test leads to an improvement in the technique and gives more information to the researchers and the doctors. Saying no to this is possibly saying no to a better future. Life is a risk and either you take the risk or you spend your life wringing your hands over what is the right thing to do while NOTHING gets done and NOTHING changes and NOTHING improves ❗If it were me, I would rather die trying than merely living a deteriorating life, leading to a sorry end. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is very apt here.

      Natural grains modification has been taking place for many centuries.
      I think they're perfectly safe to eat and just as nourishing.
      But I'm not an expert in that field.
      You can google natural grains modification to learn all about it.
      I remember watching a documentary on this subject, when a group of scientists were studying very old grains found next to the bodies of well preserved mummies or ice bodies.
      These grains were very different on the molecular level to the grains we have now. 😊

    am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father hasdied, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighborssaw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or wewill die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/}--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡...[[[/>[[[[[[[>[]]]][[[[[[[[[[[[[
