Best description... and fantastic execution ... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I hope that we would be able to use this excellent innovation to overcome bacterial resistance. Is this possible?

[@ardd.c.8113]

Uh no.

[@Sumeya-jb9xt]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@mmartin5816]

Thank you iBiology! Very nice explanation. But, I wonder where the tracrRNA comes from?

[@joelarnoldngassa8720]

It comes from the sequence of integrated virus DNA in the bacteria

Great information

[@kokolee3367]

very detailed explanation.

Thanks, it is a great vedio.

ign 10/10 great movie

Great graphics to accompany explanation. At age; 65ish, my mind has a hard time keeping up. And yet I'm able to understand with 2-3 viewings. It occurs to me, a licensed teacher, that this, graphic assisted lecture, is going to replace book reading. Or; it should, anyway. Especially when laptops can fit in a pencil, or eyeglasses. The ethics issue is interesting. Will all men want to have a big ...ahem, energetic thing? Will all women want large breasts? Can a worker class without these assets, and with low testosterone, be created? Can cows be engineered to be surrogate child bearers? If so; Then what? Some sort of human unity seems to be not far off. what can we out make out of an old F16 that's no longer needed and is obsolete? I know; Solar panels, and turbine, fluid dynamic, wind or water generators!

Great points brought up. Im pretty sure ethics won't get involved with body size adjustment depending on induvidual (tho it's done at embryo stage, so it again brings up the point that parents can choose all the details they want in their kids) But the "working class" seems ethically COMPLETELY wrong. Genetically engineering a baby to doom it to eternal life of only work and no normal experiences such as love , marriage etc before it is even born?? Creating a race of humans who will be viewed as below others and have to do work? Very similar to slavery. Not to mention , IF these working class people COULD have children, all their children would also have the same genes and be cursed to live the same life, working class, just because one of their forefathers was ok with their kid being a worker.

By eternal life here I didn't mean immortality, just the fact that their whole life will be made for work

[@clavo3352]

@@boomgoesthesingularity4337 Your brain actually produces a drug when you experience a success in getting over a problem. When they enhance that to respond to working; you can create a class of humans that live to work. We actually have workaholics now.

@@clavo3352 But would you ever know if they would have wanted that if you hadn't interfered? Basically, altering someones fate, without giving them any choice. Maybe in future if it is possible to change entire human genome, cell by cell, then people can choose it. You're lazy? Procrastinator? Boom, one full body gene therapy/ only brain therapy (making sure it doesn't get rejected) later you are most diligent person on Earth

[@clavo3352]

@@boomgoesthesingularity4337 Fair point! Newspapers and TV and Hollywood have been doing that since , at least. a day in late November, 1963! It doesn't matter to an unethical leader: "what they want." They will argue that it's good for them! I have a destroyed lower back; partly owing to the belief that playing football, would get me a girl! Now where did I ever get that idea?

[@wintersummer6357]

What happens when computers learn how to implement the CRISPR base on its own logic? Will computers decide who and who is not fit to be a human?

can you replace my original DNA and help me get over my stroke
