CRISPR Co-Founder Jennifer Doudna on Future of Biotech

Sixth Street Chief Science Adviser and Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna, co-founder of the CRISPR genome editing technology 10 years ago, and Sixth Street Vice Chairman and Partner R. Martin Chavez join Emily Chang to discuss the future of CRISPR and its potential for commercialization.

[@Pyriphlegeton]

It's not for chosen few. It's for the general public. Average patients have already been treated with CRISPR. This cynical position is such a tired one. Whatever device you're watching this video on was Sci-Fi only a few decades ago. Back then you could have said only the chosen few will ever have a computer or a smartphone. Technology always works the same: first it's very expensive. When enough people want it, the price drops fantastically and a few years or decades later it's seen as everyday ordinary tech.

[@danielmoore4024]

@@Pyriphlegeton No, this is disgraceful and evil! Stop disguising your eugenics. You're already aborting more black people than white, you already disallow disabled people to be born, more LGBTQIA are aborted than straight, more females are aborted than males, all advertisements of designer babies are images of white males. There's advertisements of anti aging which has nothing to do with sicknesses or diseases, if it was only about sicknesses and diseases you wouldn't of ever thought of touching the human germline. So don't bother denying this is racism, sexism, ableism, communism, eugenics and capitalism. You do not have the right to mess with my genes just because you perceive my autism as a "problem". Autism is not a problem, you claim you value all humans equally, since you want to rub us out of existence you clearly do not see us as equal, you are full of discriminatory thoughts like Hitler doing eugenics. The problem is clearly your view of autism and other primarily genetic conditions. I love being autistic, I wouldn't give it up for the world. Molecular biologist Miroslav Radman writes, "Mutagenesis has traditionally been viewed as an unavoidable consequence of imperfections in the process of DNA replication and repair. But if diversity is essential to survival, and if mutagenesis is required to generate such diversity, perhaps mutagenesis has been positively selected for throughout evolution." Do you really want to bring us to extinction geneticists? Evelyn Fox Keller explains: "We now know that mechanisms for enduring genetic stability are a product of evolution. Yet a surprising number of mutations in which at least some of these mechanisms are disabled have been found in bacteria living under natural conditions. Why do these mutants persist? Is it possible that they provide some selective advantage to the population as a whole? Might the persistence of some mutator genes in a population enhance the adaptability of that population? Apparently so. New mathematical models of bacterial populations in variable environments confirm that, under such conditions, selection favors the fixation of some mutator alleles and furthermore, that their presence accelerates the pace of evolution." The mutants behind autism and other conditions like Down Syndrome offer some great advantages to the human race, diminishing the genes is a great risk because without those mechanisms there is no asurety of genetic stability pushing us in the direction of extinction. Psychologist Howard Gardner warns: "With the coming of age of genetics, the danger magnifies. Beyond doubt we will discover genes that are important for reading alphabetical scripts; and there is already evidence that a small set of genes may be related to reading problems. As with the brain evidence, such information can be helpful for early intervention; but it could easily be used for stigmatising purposes. Indeed, it might become relevant for marriage prospects, holding a job, securing insurance, or even eugenic purposes. And no doubt, especially in our interventionist society, individuals with a genetic predisposition for reading problems will look into different kinds of genetic engineering or therapy. It is possible that such interventions will work and have no negative side effects, but it is perhaps more likely that they will have unanticipated effects. And we might even want to consider which valued human abilities - eg. spatial or pattern recognition skills - might be placed at risk were we to target our interventions specifically at reading disorders." Do you really want to destroy all alternative perceptions and ways of thinking? Don't you know how many abilities you are going to destroy and how impoverished you are going to make our world because of your cultural myopia? Each time you have tried playing God you have only caused harm. Who caused the climate change? Scientists playing God trying to control nature, did you Gods anticipate the climate change? It is your fault the climate change. If we fail to understand and take care of the natural world, it can cause a breakdown of these systems and come back to haunt us in ways we know little about. A critical example is a developing model of infectious disease that shows that most epidemics - AIDS, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, Lyme disease and hundreds more that have occurred over the last several decades - don’t just happen. They are a result of things people do to nature. The diseases you claim you want to cure were caused by doing this, so why are you doing it again? World War II was caused by eugenics, why are you following Adolf Hitler's steps? Mutations are not random or accidental, malaria is endemic in Africa and Africans have developed mutations that protect them from malaria through adaptation, Europeans don't have these mutations, if a European goes to Africa they are more likely to get a disease. Editing one gene may cure a disease but at the same time make them more susceptible to other diseases. Again, this is wicked and pure evil to think we don't deserve to be born just because we are different. Sort your discriminatory thoughts out.

[@Pyriphlegeton]

@@danielmoore4024 I'm sorry you feel that way. I can assure you that I'd never want to prevent people with autism from being born. Neurodivergence is important for society, we don't need all people to be thinking the same. I'd also never want any race, gender, sexuality, etc. to be somehow targeted. There are very real genetic disease that can be treated though. Such like Dychenne Muscular Dystrophy, which renders children unable to walk before even hitting puberty, and usually kills people before they turn 40. We could completely cure this disease with genetic therapies. I think we must make sure that in every case, the parents make the decision of whether to choose a therapy. Not the state, not anyone else. That way, we don't run the risk of any "undesirable group" being targeted. I'm in contact with researchers on this topic (and aspire to be one myself) and I can assure you that all they (and I) want is to cure diseases. Diseases that leave people unnecessarily suffering right now.

[@danielmoore4024]

@@Pyriphlegeton I agree diseases do exist and it's actual diseases that I support being cured. So my concern is how do we discern whether something is a difference or an actual disease, as we can see during history differences like same sex attraction were seen as something wrong like a disease. My Dad is diabetic, I don't see anything positive about diabetes so I'm not against curing diabetes and others like AIDS. So even though autism presents challenges, it also presents advantages and I don't want us losing those advantages. I see humans deviated and corrupted pathology when they began basing things on the concept of 'normal', I see neurodiversity as a restoration of pathology as its original self from ancient times by replacing the idea there's a 'normal' brain.

[@Pyriphlegeton]

@@danielmoore4024 That is a fair question. But I do think we've found a rather adequate way of addressing it: therapeutic consent. Noone is allowed to be treated against their consent (or their parents, if it's a child). Of course there's some difficult cases and I'm sure sometimes that safeguard fails, but in general it is pretty good at preventing these issues. It doesn't matter if a doctor thinks a child shouldn't be born - it's the decision of the mother. We can only develop therapies and then offer them. If someone takes them is their own decision. But there are so many genetic diseases that I think it would be absolutely inhumane not to develop these therapies. Look, if we'd develop a way to prevent autistic babies from being born (which is not a goal), but you as a parent would be the one to make that decision - you'd still be willing to get an autistic kid, right? That's my point, as long as we leave it up to the parents and not let someone else decide, no group will be oppressed or prevented from existing.

Ethics is important, for within it rests the bedrock of a functioning and effective society. However, we mustn't let our ideals stifle out needed innovation. The concept of Ethics, morality, right and wrong, these are but arbitrary nebulous concepts. They may exist in a more objective manner within the confines of religion, however religion itself is unverifiable- riddled with holes, contradictions, and wrongful assertions. To the discerning eye religion is its own undoing, in its absence lies naught but the mind. And the mind is subjective not objective in nature. A biased Judge is an unfit one. We may be tempted to romanticize ourselves, deeming ourselves fit enough in discerning what is right and wrong. The vast majority of humanity is unknowing of how little they know, the minority knowing of how little they do know. Knowing the lot of what is considered common place as naught but arbitrary constructs. Concept fused into the mass conciousness by: indoctrination and or the penalties that it entails upon retaliation. Relinquish your desire for self importance,-your need to be in control, your thirst for power. Succumb to reality, succumb to the void that it entails. Realize the multilayered complexity of the systems that surrounds you, realize the role in which you play within it. It is a humbling experience, you find that you differ in some respects, but that ultimately you yourself aren't the exception. Cast judgement out the door, for that role is reserved for the objective observer. Not for the one bounded by flesh and blood. The one limited in perceptual capabilities and ingenuity, the one confined within his own subjective slice within time and space. At its distilled state, one should concern himself only in doing unto others as he would want to be done unto himself.

New mathematical models of bacterial populations in variable environments confirm that, under such conditions, selection favors the fixation of some mutator alleles and furthermore, that their presence accelerates the pace of evolution." The mutants behind autism and other conditions like Down Syndrome offer some great advantages to the human race, diminishing the genes is a great risk because without those mechanisms there is no asurety of genetic stability pushing us in the direction of extinction. Psychologist Howard Gardner warns: "With the coming of age of genetics, the danger magnifies. Beyond doubt we will discover genes that are important for reading alphabetical scripts; and there is already evidence that a small set of genes may be related to reading problems. As with the brain evidence, such information can be helpful for early intervention; but it could easily be used for stigmatising purposes. Indeed, it might become relevant for marriage prospects, holding a job, securing insurance, or even eugenic purposes. And no doubt, especially in our interventionist society, individuals with a genetic predisposition for reading problems will look into different kinds of genetic engineering or therapy. It is possible that such interventions will work and have no negative side effects, but it is perhaps more likely that they will have unanticipated effects. And we might even want to consider which valued human abilities - eg. spatial or pattern recognition skills - might be placed at risk were we to target our interventions specifically at reading disorders." Do you really want to destroy all alternative perceptions and ways of thinking? Don't you know how many abilities you are going to destroy and how impoverished you are going to make our world because of your cultural myopia? Each time you have tried playing God you have only caused harm. Who caused the climate change? Scientists playing God trying to control nature, did you Gods anticipate the climate change? It is your fault the climate change. If we fail to understand and take care of the natural world, it can cause a breakdown of these systems and come back to haunt us in ways we know little about. A critical example is a developing model of infectious disease that shows that most epidemics - AIDS, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, Lyme disease and hundreds more that have occurred over the last several decades - don’t just happen. They are a result of things people do to nature. The diseases you claim you want to cure were caused by doing this, so why are you doing it again? World War II was caused by eugenics, why are you following Adolf Hitler's steps? Mutations are not random or accidental, malaria is endemic in Africa and Africans have developed mutations that protect them from malaria through adaptation, Europeans don't have these mutations, if a European goes to Africa they are more likely to get a disease. Editing one gene may cure a disease but at the same time make them more susceptible to other diseases. Again, this is wicked and pure evil to think we don't deserve to be born just because we are different.

Will these genetic cures be available to anyone except Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk?

[@Pyriphlegeton]

Yes, they have already been used in ordinary patients. This cynical position is such a tired one. Whatever device you're watching this video on was Sci-Fi only a few decades ago. Back then you could have said only the chosen few will ever have a computer or a smartphone. Technology always works the same: first it's very expensive. When enough people want it, the price drops fantastically and a few years or decades later it's seen as everyday ordinary tech.

it’s clear that they know nothing.

This tells and shows me nothing just a bunch of blah blah blah

We don't need crispr. There are other way, to obtain, the same thing.

How?!

Empty talk....

OhMuyGawd! I just said that same thing except I spelled it: Blah.... !

February 1, 2022, Vision, a large eyeball flew across the sky, and a single eyeball was inserted into the face of the beast covering the entire sky. The beast is looking at the world from the sky with its large one eye. - Yeshua Coming - February 1, 2022, Vision, a large eyeball flew across the sky, and a single eyeball was inserted into the face of the beast covering the entire sky. The beast is looking at the world from the sky with its large one eye. The vision for February 1, 2022, whether to tell this story or not, I'm thinking about it, and I'll send it to you even via text message. This morning's vision. I was there where people gathered. I look up at the sky and the clouds are very low. I said that Look over there, the clouds are very low in the sky. People don't even know if I tell them directly. What does it look like low? it's just a cloud I thought I should leave the place where they were gathered. I thought that I should go home. It's impossible for me to be here where people gather. I have to go home soon. When I got out of the gathering place, I saw a cloud hovering very low, and I got out of there. When I looked at the floor, it was snowing a lot and the floor was all covered with very thick snow. It is a very good situation for people sledding. I am going to play sledding towards the house while pushing and pulling with one of my family members. But when I looked up at the sky to the south while looking at the building, I saw a purple sky. Wow! it's a purple sky And when I looked up at the northern sky, I saw the face of the beast covering the sky. It looks like a tiger's face, but it's an animal's(beast) face anyway. However, the strange thing is that one very large eyeball crosses the sky and inserts the eyeball into the face of the beast. The face of that large beast covered the whole sky, and even one large eyeball was inserted. It is a message that the day when the beast (Satan) will take full control of the whole world is very soon. And I woke up.

We got GMO rice and we never ever have rice that tastes like before. Our rice after cooked can keep 5 days but GMO can not even a day. Don't do God's work and your children will suffer from this.

[@lukash.8788]

First of all, the rice you're eating is not gods work, its humanities work. The rice was bred over decades and breeding is not different from genetic engineering, only more unspecific, error-prone and ineffective. And the GMO rice is probably golden rice. Golden rice contains provitamin A and was produced to supply regions that eat a lot of rice but have few opportunities to get vitamin A, as in Southeast Asia. That's his whole purpose.
