Gene Editing: An Inside Look At Hacking Our DNA | Why It Matters 4 | Full Episode

Hack your DNA, and change your destiny. Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene editing tool that can eradicate diseases, and maybe one day even enhance our looks, personalities, and abilities. How does it do that, and are we ready for it? Host Joshua Lim finds out what conditions he could be passing down to his children with a DNA test, and questions if CRISPR could write them away. He meets some dengue-destroying mosquitoes, and anxiety-relieving vegetables that have been genetically edited with CRISPR. He also finds out why many are still hesitant to adopt this revolutionary biomedical technology. despite its accolades.
=======================================
About Why It Matters: Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. It is transforming the world we live in faster than ever before. Our inquisitive host Joshua Lim is back on a mission to sniff out the emerging trends and technologies, to ask the questions you have always wanted to ask, and some you have never even thought about.

I don't think that's the same. Designer babies are when you choose the eggs/sperms that have your desired traits - and then they're placed in the mother with IVF. Not quite the same as editing the gene, as much as selecting which one you prefer. (Which is already done with IVF)

Scientists are still working on improving the precision and accuracy of gene editing while making sure there is also technologies which can verify accurately if the edits were made as planned.

[@ktan8]

It depends on whether you edit the germ cells (i.e. sperm/egg) or a somatic cell (i.e. any other cells in your body). If you modify the sperm/egg, then your kids wouldn't get the same mutation. However, if you modify any other somatic cells, these changes won't get passed to your kids.

I can’t substitute an ingredient in a recipe with just any random ingredient or it will dramatically affect the outcome of my recipe.
