Once the technology is out, no amount of laws, moratoriums, or policy will prevent it being worked on in every conceivable way, be it rats, rabbits or humans. I don't think it is an inherently bad thing, but no doubt terrible things will happen along the way, out of sight. It is absolutely inevitable.

[@cmlake89]

Y'all, get on board with this technology. I'd like to see my Aunt's Huntington's disease completely eradicated. I see her suffer. There are more people like my aunt that need this DNA editing. Let's not get stuck on super babies and wooly mammoths. Those are petty subjects to those who have little time left to live. The philosophical conversations are critical to understanding but all the talk seems to stymie a potential miracle for someone looking at only a few months or years remaining. The subject makes my heart race with hope but the conversations of morality put dark spots in that hope.

[@ritikanischal4744]

You can read this Research Paper entitled Cas 9 as a versatile tool for engineering biology by Prashant Mali, kevin MEsvelt and George M Church

[@radreonx5386]

What I don't understand is, when Cas9 cuts the DNA, if it's only broken then shoving the two pieces together sounds right. If I'm mistaken and it cuts OUT a chunk, then I still don't quite grasp what the repair pathways have to do with anything. I did a bit of research, and I think the two pathways being discussed here are HR and NHEJ, but apparently homologous recombination, which is the supposedly more "interesting" repair pathway only occurs during meiosis. Other articles mention CRISPR being able to be applied to non-dividing cells that make up most adult tissue - which is quite obvious, or else it wouldn't be of much use to any living person - so that means it doesn't involve HR. So how does the cell respond when the DNA is cut? Or did I get the whole repair pathway thing wrong? When she said feed it a bit of DNA, does it mean to inject DNA and the cell just happens to find the piece lying around and use it to link the broken bits? Or was it carried with the cas9 protein? Also, apparently if you "blunt" the cutters of cas9, it makes the protein stay in place on the targeted gene and temporarily turns it off. How does that work? Really hope someone watching this knows a bit more about the topic than myself and can help me out a bit. Thanks internet. :)

All I've got to say is Einstein was right. We need to establish common ownership and democratic control of the collective product of our labour. CRISPR is a product of human labour.

[@vaughnutube327]

She is right in that most of us work for a living ... just so that the few can play god. Monopolizing on great discovers using a 'Patent' defeats the whole premise of civilized Law. We need to modernize our collective thinking patterns to account for everyone on the planet ... their contribution and share in the rewards.

[@iluan_]

As a biotechnologist I think that while the patent mentality is unfortunately still prevalent, lots of us are moving towards an open collective mindset; from community bio-hack spaces, to open access journals and open source projects. The biotech community is becoming less corporate.

[@pepaw]

Vaughn Utube ah man, it does suck. But if X person puts in X amount of work, they should be rewarded. I do think the whole system needs an overhaul. I am not certain if genes that exist in nature or found later to exist should be patentable. Should the patent last so long? I don't have the answers, just the questions :)

[@vaughnutube327]

Oh yeah I agree, if person X puts in the time they should be compensated for it. The problem is when he makes too much. Let say 1 billion for instance. They probably deserve it? ... but then every year after that, he'll make $300 million more or less just on interest alone. And so for generations ( or till the next war ) we'll be enslaved by these individuals just generating and protecting their growing wealth (and diminishing precious time we could have used discovering something else for the benefit of man/woman kind) ... it's stupid and we all need to put an end to it.

[@MasteringJohn]

Patents are necessary; without them, incentive for innovation will be lower (Not gone, obviously, but do not underestimate the power of financial incentive).

@6:29 “The devil is in the details.” Very interesting choice of words. There are two types of tomatoes. Naturally grown and GMO (genetically modified organism) aka DNA 🧬 edited. The naturally grown tomato is a product of nature and is not owned by a corporate patent. However, GMO tomato is owned by a corporate patent. Think Monsanto. So the question is, if your DNA is edited by CRISPR technology, who will own you?

C19 has allowed 90% of people to be MRNA edited

[@anthonydo9945]

The quote is just an English proverb used to remind someone to pay attention to the details, used in a lot of poetry and literature. Regarding the ownership bit, the genetically engineered tomatoes have a patent because they’re commercially sold products, so ofc a company is going to put a patent on tomatoes that were genetically engineered to be better than others, thus potentially outselling any other tomato options available. If humans were to have diseases treated with CRISPR, then it would be a patent on the certain innovations regarding the technology itself (to prevent other competitive pharma companies from being able to use innovative mechanisms themselves), and not anyone who’s gotten those treatments. By the same thought thought process, people who have had certain vaccines would be owned by an entity due to certain vaccines, or parts of them being patented.

I don't understand. Why should Humanity be trusted to not use crisper recklessly or even maliciously? Even if it's only done one time the effect could be long-term and highly destructive. Humanity has many incentives to use it as a weapon and carelessly to satisfy our own selfish desires. I just don't understand why optimism and confidence are Almost Never accompanied by a blunt or honest discussion of the dangers. For example this presentation only addressed it as concerns about the unknown when it came to the dangers but when discussing the advantages OF CRISPR, she was more specific and thorough in comparison.

This is such a great video. Amazing topic and I’m glad she is trying to break it down for the masses. We shouldn’t be trying to play with stuff like CRISPR, we should let the scientists do what they do best and if we want to support the research, donate money to labs working with CRISPR.
