Imagining CRISPR Cures | Fyodor Urnov | TEDxBerkeley

[@robdev89]

Every day my mind is blown by our Technologies and passionate people in the world, making these things possible. Thankfully the good guys do eventually find their way. 🎉

I have a son he has been diagnosis with Ethylmalonic encephalopathy disease which is less than hundred people in the world they have this disease. My son is four years and eight months old he is mildly affected. Our hope is this gene therapy will be available soon and it can save our sons life.

Raise awareness. This is the future.

[@maxthelionxmax9220]

This is excellent. No one knows who will develop a disease in the future. It’s important the solution is there before not after

[@rickidhal3950]

Thank you for championing the possibility of cure, I watched this with a ton of hope. I have to say your words are powerful but it's extremely hard to impossible to find anyone on this planet who can offer cure via crispr now. Just a bunch of videos saying we must do this. There are illnesses that can be cured now but it doesn't happen. Probably won't happen in the lifetime for many people dying right now. How do we really change this now?

[@madhu_1489]

They just advertise for to get investors attention. That all nothing more!

[@PedroDeBandit]

We hope that someone like Jeff Bezos comes to understand that he can't take his money with him 🙏

[@sanjaychoudhary8849]

Your speak made me cry at the beigning

[@MrDigantvora]

Thank you for information and bringing awareness of "Health Justice". Health justice is necessary because it, all we would be left with INFINITE GREED OF UNSUSTAINABLE HUMAN SOCIETY

Is CRISPR being studied for use in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients yet?

[@LuisOrtiz-ey1bp]

What about for autism and global development delays/disabilities?

[@questmarq7901]

Paste gene editing, look it up

[@akhiy5384]

I have PTSD and i want to erase my trauma .i don't my future children to not have any kind of disease😭

[@lucid0443]

i hope you’re re joking

[@taylortischhauser4414]

Love the idea of CRISPR in a perfect world, but this brings up concerns and raises important questions about access and equity. If gene editing becomes widely available, it could create new forms of social and economic inequality, with only the wealthy and privileged able to afford the treatments and enhancements that come with CRISPR technology.

He literally just talked about how to make it affordable. I swear, Americans have watched too many movies and think that movie plots occur in real life.

[@charlesbaha5298]

Wouldn’t this be easy to fix NF1?

[@semrabahcivan8627]

I have Thallasaemia heterogeneous, Hyperthyroidism, Sjogren, autoimmune diseases, kidney stones, vascular retinal occlusion. Can I get any treatment ?

[@jaqueitch]

Indeed, Bluebird Bio is bound for bankruptcy

I just want to genetically engineer myself to stop aging after the age of 25 😆 👌 let’s gooooo

Weaponizing Crispr seems to be a big issue in the future as well

[@RemindThemAboutGeorgeFloyd]

Yeah like editing a SARs virus..... And making billions of dollars for you and your buddies while it spreads around the world

[@questmarq7901]

This is the last of our problem. We need gene therapy asap

Jeff Bezos... are you listening...

This is the 4th comment. Shit's RARE...

Can we crisper out the speakers mouth noises?

Can we crisper out you?

The topic is too serious to concentrate on speaker noises

Imagine.......CRISPR CURES!..... Me: Yeah, keep imagining idiots

It’s like call of duty releases, im not hyped for the next one and I’m most likely not hyped for this, im not crashing on that train like the stem cell one

Stop swallowing into the mike. It sounds dreadful and prevent me from listening 😢
