I think the bigger point (which could have been made clearer or better) was that in selecting "who gets to decide" we need to be mindful of existing social inequities. ie.: the process needs to be inclusive, culturally sensitive, etc. An easier objection can be imagined if you consider that old rich white men will probably be the first people to be able to afford genetic treatments, and that marginalized groups will have little say over who gets access.

A persons value doesn't come from their traits. Deaf person isn't valuable because they're deaf, it's because they're human and people value people. A disability isn't a negative thing, but it's called a disability (in the real world ignoring the politically correct eugenics of ideas) because it is, the absence of an ability. The reason that gene was probably picked for testing is due to its simplicity. She doesn't own the deaf community, she can only speak for herself. Consulting the deaf community only reveals the opinions of those consulted, there is no such thing as a deaf community with all the same opinions. This is a regressive tribalist idea. I have 3 siblings with a genetic abnormality that causes dystrophy because both parents are carriers of that abnormality that puts a stop codone that prevents proper formation of dysferlin. A protein necessary for cell healing. Luckily, the type they have isn't life threatening, but it does mean their arms and legs will get progressively weaker for the rest of their life. They don't feel like their value as human beings is inextricably linked to their disability, and would be horrified of research into treatments was limited because others that are insecure about their self worth didn't want to allow the option for others. I'm quite sure many deaf people feel the same way, and that lady doesn't represent them. The reason I'm watching this video is to better understand the science necessary to treat my siblings disability, and perhaps one day contribute to the possible set of treatments or perhaps even a cure.

I think, first, we should redefine 'disability' as 'differently-abled." As the deaf woman said, understanding the richness in one's differences, evolving our mindsets, would make me more comfortable about the ethics of CRISPR technology. Making more male cows is not a far stretch from making the world one ethnicity, is it?

[@SandmansPhotography]

@@3DPhD1 IMO it is up to the human's choice, regarding the deaf woman remarks, no one is pointing a gun to all the deaf people and making sure no one "suffers" from that anymore. I understand that new characteristics, in those humans what possess lack of 1 of their senses, will appear, and in the mist some are probably an evolution regarding human traits, psychology, etc. But, again, IMO I believe it's the choice of the individual that matters. There are many conflicting thoughts about this technology, and religion is also one of the big forces of denial that will most likely delay the possibilities of this tech.

In Project Coast they were making pathogens produce more deadly toxins by clipping parts and isolating genes. They also refined and purified certain toxins using the same technology.

These genetically modified XX phenotypically male cattle may produce more beef on average than phenotypically female cattle, but they may still be less than XY males.

We had to sequence the vectors - make sure the gene hadn't inserted themselves in a weird place, but otherwise, the experiment went well. I wish I had chosen the first Master's assignment I was offered - would've worked with modifying fish using CRISPR then.

I just hope CRISPR is used SOLELY for the health and well being of humanity, with the intention of only making others whole again and giving people second chances. The moment we start dipping into, “we’ll I want my son to have blues eyes, broad shoulders, etc,” or any other vanity reason, we need to take a step back. Idc if it’s my religious background or morals which present that concern. It’s a real and serious concern. We all know what humanity can do with just a little bit of power.

So the genetically modified cattle will look similar the all natural cow but in reality it's not. The genetically modified fruits and vegetables we eat look very similar to natural ones however the genetic makeup has been altered, they do not have the nutrients and vitamins that are essential to our health , most tend to be small in comparison to natural not to mention the taste is even different We are only beginning to see the negative affects and do not know what the full consequences will be .

3 of my blood relatives died in less than a year. 98 percent of my family is dead. I lost my father to kidney disease. My mom to Alzheimers. My uncle to a heart attack. My family has a long list of sicknesses and illnesses. One day my families medical history is going to come to take me out as well. I am so close to being the last surviving member of my family. If my parents genetically engineered me and their parents engineered them then this would not be happening to me. I was born in 1980. No such thing as genetic engineering then. Maybe it's not that bad.

The deaf people who reject gene editing shouldn't be included in the decision of deaf people who whish to loose their disability. This is just sick.

[@motorolaandroid5688]

This reminds me of Nassim Taleb's "CARPENTER FALLACY" In his Precautionary Paper he warns against using "experts" in biology to get tail risks of GMOs, gene editing, etc., even if they aren't shills. Just as a carpenter is not the one to use to compute probabilities of tail payoffs at a roulette table.

[@huberhg]

The Carpenter Fallacy Risk managers skeptical of the understanding of risk of biological processes, such as GMOs, by the experts are sometimes asked "are you a biologist?" But nobody asks a probabilist dealing with roulette sequences if he is a carpenter. To understand the gambler’s ruin problem by roulette betting, we know to ask a probabilist, not a carpenter. No amount of expertise in carpentry can replace rigor in understanding the properties of long sequences of small probability bets. Likewise, no amount of expertise in the details of biological processes can be a substitute for probabilistic rigor. The context for evaluating risk is the extent of knowledge or lack of knowledge. Thus, when considering GMO risks, a key question is what is the extent to which we know the impacts of genetic changes in organisms. Claims that geneticists know these consequences as a basis for GMOs do not recognize either that their knowledge is not complete in its own domain nor is genetics complete as a body of knowledge. Geneticists do not know the developmental, physiological, medical, cognitive and environmental consequences of genetic changes in organisms. Indeed, most of these are not part of their training or competency. Neither are they trained in recognizing the impact of the limitations of knowledge on risk. Some advocates dismiss the very existence of risk due to the role of scientific knowledge in GMOs... I highly recommend the full article, the Precautionary Principle www.fooledbyrandomness.com/pp2.pdf

Curing disease, birth defects, blindness, deafness, cognitive impairments, are all good things and should be pursued. Altering genes for cosmetic reasons, like making your kid taller, have a certain color of eyes, or increasing physical strength, should be prohibited before its even possible. And things like deafness or blindness are disabilities whether that woman or those like her think so, and the idea that she would subject another generation to endure that disability, seems less like "oh look at our beautiful culture" and more like misery loving company. I was born color blind and it's prohibited me from being able to do certain things and had their been a way to identify and fix that while I was developing and my folks didn't do it because we come from a long line of people who can't differentiate colors, to say id be pissed would vastly understate how I'd have reacted

[@JuanIII]

I'm mixed race and have autism. Fairly certain gene editing isn't going to change where I came from or demoralize or change my autism. I'm okay with my autism, but it sure would be great if those who have more severe forms of it didn't have options because it makes me angry other people are not okay with their own autism due to the severity of their symptoms. And I dunno, being mixed race gives you the insight that the artifice of culture and race is not who is a person is. People with white skin and who only show attributes from other races in features often not recognized are placed in the unique position of being lectured by all races on how they have no voice or viewpoint due to those person's inability to identify said mixed race individuals as such.
