I can't say how grateful I am to be born and to have the opportunity to enter the genetic field in such an exciting era of genetic engineering and how much potential there is for this technology. Just finished VCE and planning on doing a major in Genetics after my bachelor of science.
i was 14 and in High school when I heard that DNA affects diseases. I asked my teacher, what if then we change the bad DNA part to a good one to affect the body cells and heal cancer or other diseases? my teacher told me to not think too hard. this video made me cry because it didn't know that this COULD ACTUALLY BE A THING and I wanted to be a scientist to find out how to do it. I wish I could work with scientists one day to perfect this. I study law however.
@@JaneDoe-gy8jx it's complicated but in a nutshell, genetic mutations caused by DNA copying errors or damages to DNA leads to cancer... those copying errors can be accentuated by environmental factors but it is possible for a healthy person to have cancer
I would say that you should thank god (literally or metaphorically), for not being in 'medical' profession - you might be one of millions of doctors and other medical professionals who sold their souls during 2+ years of C19 BS.
@The Illegitimate President we'll just make test tube babies if we get sterile. This is the now we can control our genetic evolution. we dont have to get exterminated if mother nature decides the time of the human is over.
She's a really good speaker. I love the fact she focuses a lot on ethical implications... a lot of new and advancing technologies really require a lot of thought in how to implement it into public. Lovely talk.

I'm comforted to see a sobering voice of morality in this age of reckless industrialization. Many may see this video, skip the message of caution, and immediately grasp for their share of the "genomic gold rush". People like Jennifer protect us from the potential consequences of such short-sighted greed. Thank you.

I’m listening to this in 2020, and I’ve known about Crisper for over three years. I’ll never forget talking about it in my medical ethics class. While I do believe that it can be used for great good, it can also be used for bad. I’d say probably within the next 5 to 8 years you’ll start to see huge advancements and more use of crisper. One of the biggest issues I have with it though is What’s stopping somebody from just making super humans, or genetically superior humans? If you know how to use it properly, an someone pays you a huge amount of money, or a country decides to start secret trials on it, who’s stopping them? No one. Then you have hybrids or “genetically superior humans” walking around the population, then they breed, start a new generation etc.
Jesus Christ is coming to end it and He is coming here soon. Find Him before He finds you because when Jesus comes back, His wrath will be poured out onto the wicked. Truly believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. If you have trouble believing then seek Him with all your heart. He wants to save you.
You are correct and incorrect. With all revolutionary technologies there are bound to be terrible people who abuse the power of creation. Like you said nothing is stopping them. Only time can tell what will come from this marvelous creation whether it be catastrophic or one of the most important tools to mankind. For example He Jiankui, the doctor who (allegedly) modified human embryos "illegally", already abused his power to some extent. I'm excited and scared to see how CRISPR ends up shaping the advancement of the human race.
When I watch this talk I get a real sense of something genuinely WORLD-CHANGING being discussed. I can hear the Future knocking so loudly it's almost deafening.
@@RosyOutlook2 Your comment is incredibly ignorant. CRISPR in the clinical setting is more akin to an organ transplant than a pill or injection. Sickle cell disease is being cured by CRISPR in adults whom would otherwise die young and live horrifically painful lives from the disease. Full chemotherapy must be undergone to wipe the defective HbS from the bone marrow. In wonderful news, 1 year after treatment, one patient's HbF surpassed ALL expectations and was found to be 47% of her hemoglobin! It is astounding you someone could believe this process is as simple as getting a shot; our bodies possess 30 trillion cells, each containing our entire genome. CRISPR is a tool with important clinical applications. The field of Eugenics has unfortunately been around for centuries and must be resisted at all turns; sterilization of women is occurring all around the world as I type this message, even at the USA-Mexico border, without any assistance from CRISPR technologies. What have you done to fight Eugenics-based policies in the world today, such as those in India? There is much work to be done. I sincerely hope you are not suggesting that we do not treat cruel diseases in humans because someone might use it to further an agenda. This could be said about any clinical treatment, medication, surgery; the sterilization of women in the name of Eugenics is done thru surgery. Should women not be allowed to have hysterectomies and tubal ligation because it is used daily to sterilize women without their consent, in jails, at borders, at institutions? The reality is horrific and terrible, and much work needs to be done. Demonizing progress does not address the core of the issue: human policies and attitudes.
It pains me to see how radiant she is, how much excitement she feels about this new technology and the possibilities for its use to cure genetic diseases. And yet, fast-forward to 2021, her technology is mainly used to genetically modify our food chain for the profit and market domination of a few biotech and food industry corporations. And no, GM crops are not feeding the world, we have not seen increased growth in yields since their widespread application.

@Get Happy Cross-breeding is not the same as gene editing. The first one only happens between organisms of the same category, i.e. between plants and plants, or animals and animals (like when you breed horses or livestock). It is a natural process that is only assisted by humans. The second, however, is done in the lab, and allows scientists to transfer any gene from any species from anywhere in the genome, to a target species of any sort. It also allows gene editing without the use of a secondary gene sequence, i.e. cutting out specific sequences within the genome of an organism. This distinction is important, for it allows you to understand the power of gene editing. While cross-breeding or breeding allows you to grow wheat with a stronger stalk, which is more resistant to harsh weather, or which grows faster, gene editing allows you to insert into the wheat genome a gene that will make it (more) resistant to pesticides - hence, possibly leading to an ever-increasing use of pestidices. Edit: Thus, while breeding is relatively innocuous, genetic modification of our food, if we talk about applying this technology in agriculture, can have a profound impact on our health.
Dominik, think again. This technology is what they are using now to change our DNA under the guise of Covid/Delta ….. and I’m afraid that it will not be for our ultimate good ….
@@jenniferjaggers9321 That's an interesting idea and would definitely explain some occurrences that have taken place in the recent months. Can you refer me to any materials that I could use to study this issue?
I love how fair minded she is by asking for a “global pause” and not rushing into designer humans right away. It helps calm me to know that the future of genetics is in the hands of responsible people like her. Just need to make sure the government military and weapon corporations are on the same level consciously and then humanity will be just fine with this technology.
You are so deceived. Your eternity is at stake. If I was you I would ask specifically to Jesus Christ to be cleansed and for forgiveness and acceptance of the true love of God. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Judgment is coming.
High Elven Wisdom And Love, Do you remember the so called scientists claimed homosexuality and dark skin are diseases? They would diminish the LGBTQ+ population less than 50 years ago. Most so called diseases are socially constructed. They are already screening babies to abort them just because they might have Down Syndrome, they abort black people, they abort more females than males with intent. This is not a good attitude, it is racism and discrimination. They're the ones who caused HIV by trying to control nature. Try and control evolution and unanticipated disasters are bound to occur. Eugenics and genetic engineering are disgraceful, they don't have the right to determine who lives and who doesn't. I don't want my DNA altered, I do not want to be cured of autism, I love being autistic. It is plain unethical, injustice, evil, selfish, dangerous and abusive to alter a person without our consent or permission. The fact they think it's OK to diminish us proves we are not equally valued for if we were valued you would let us live regardless of individual differences. 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." 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 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. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should. Was climate change anticipated? Were the production of epidemic diseases anticipated? Were rising sea levels anticipated? Was damage to the atmosphere anticipated? All the destructive consequences are the result of trying to play God and control nature. 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." This is based on a religious philosophy derived from Christianity.
This sound surreal, I mean it is so exciting but somehow so familiar, because it is like the first paragraph of every single dystopian sci-fi out there.
Last year, I was in her biology class at UC Berkeley, went to ask her a very simple question about isotopes. Had no idea who she was. She’s amazing! But I’m glad I didn’t know who she was, because I may not have gone to ask that simple question because I was too “shy.”

@The Illegitimate President What? How would you know that she dreamt of working for Hitler... I believe she wasnt even alive back then. Besides, even if we recognise the potential implications this type of genetic engineering may place on society and never use it, it is still an AMAZING discovery. Definitely worthy of a Nobel Prize.

I appreciate the work these researchers are doing to solve some human problems. A problem always have a solution. God bless Jennifer Daudna and the team of researchers.
Romans 10:9 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I was thinking of the same thing. Instead of using it on themselves and becoming a super villain, why are they risking kids life. What if you make a kid who can destroy everything just by thinking or touching?
This was in 2015 it is now 2018 and they can now not only edit one gene but thousands and see the results in days, truly incredible and now I think the real jump will happen
Responsibility and safety of CRISPR Cas 9 technology offers both HOPE and questions. Gene editing Genomics is a field that is hopeful for those in PAIN. Thank you Jennifer Doudna.
Hey guys! saw the news today and remembered her face from somewhere many many years ago. Then I remembered i saw her TED talk. Congrats and Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the scientists doing the things which will actually pushing us towards a greater future.
Gentel Noober I doubt that because we aren't intelligent and we'll most likely not create any form of intelligence but a form of artificial stupidity instead. Unless we realize our own stupidity nothing will change.
The universe is already in a simulation. May be the future is doing it. And it is wrong to make life suffer, but if the universe is repeating itself, there is no way to stop a feedback loop or whatever. We may live forever. So I may have to put up with my awful family over and over!
Great work Jennifer. A clear minded scientist so she should participate in any discussions to cover misuse. The enhancements like perfect pitch, no baldness and so on are harmless. Enhanced intelligence or talent should be used. There are no reasons to keep people in the dark for ethical reasons. The human DNA is not without flaws so go ahead with enhancements correcting malfunction if you can get this into the body.
Here it is in 10years Genetic disease isn't a problem... in future this reasearch will make a new field of science.. let's see... How it works... You deserve Nobel prize mam... Thank God for you mam...🤩🤩🤩😇😇😇😍😍😍
I would love to see this technology used to cure a genetic disease that runs in my family, Charcot Marie Tooth Type 1A. It has been discouraging to see the physically debilitating effects of the disease on me and my children. I am grateful to the scientists researching this technology. This holds so much promise for me and my family that I would even be willing to be a test subject if it has the possibility to change the lives of my children. I am certain there are many others would be willing subjects to help their families solve genetic disease once and for all. I understand the need for pause on the designer implications, but I believe that using the technology for curing genetic diseases doesn't have the ethical problems and should proceed rapidly.
IDK. I'm skeptical. What comes to my mind is "If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it IS too good to be true." The idea that man can be trusted to use this technology without corrupting it for evil is a fantasy.
I am taking an elective on biotechnology and I chose to write about her, such an amazing and intelligent women, I can't believe that what she has discovered can literally take humanity to the next step. Truly a hero.
This technology is great and really promising for therapeutic purposes. But at the same time it's also a bit worrying if people start using it irresponsibly. Truly the ethical issues need to be considered and taken seriously. Since this is a new technology we are yet to see its negative impact.
Guidelines and restrictions needed IMMEDIATELY.. If someone can make a profit, or cure an inconvenience, they will. There's always a problem when science or government give control over to business.
you reallty think they're not doing *UNETHICAL* things with this technology? D.A.R.P.A.=Defense Advanced Research Project Agency is already involved attempting to create a "super soldier." One that can see at night without the use of technology like a bat. A soldier that can also run as fast as a Cheetah and kill as swiftly as a Grizzly bear. D.A.R.P.A. Is a black budget agency that was created the same yr as NASA (1958) by the same people
Fellow stockbrokers! I won't have enough money for a year to invest a "significant amount". But Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated is one of the companies on the stock market that invest a lot of time and energy into the CRISPR-cas9 gene slicing technology. From the quick read up that I did, they have recently signed a deal with CRISPR Therapeutics for $105 million.
+gary m I'll check it out, thx! Although a lot (if not all) of the bio-tech and pharmaceutical stock companies have plummeted the last two or three weeks if not longer. But it's a long term investment.
For all the arguments against genetic modification, try telling any set of parents that they shouldn't remove their asthma from their future children, or their family's inclination to breast and skin cancer... just because it'd be unfair to all the people who can't afford it.
+Jonathan Hartwig I wouldn't say that. There's a difference between changing genes that give you a great likelyhood of getting skin or breast cancer - and then tweaking your unborn baby so it'll become the next Einstein with the body of Schwarzenegger. There's fixing errors and then there's making enhancements
She starts saying "I invented a new technology..." Please notice that without previous research by Dr Francis Mojica, a Spanish biologist, she would not have invented anything. I believe it is important to realise that Dr Mojica's contribution to the discovery of CRISPR technology is in this case vital in case a Nobel prize of Medicine related to this new technology is ever awarded.
myNotes: -bacteria fights virus, I want examples! -protein, cas9, is the tool we can modify DNA with -RNA is a copy of DNA at a particular moment, this reminds me of a "back-up" -Genome engineering, like a word processing program -What is the difference between genes and chromosomes? (the black/white mice example made me ask this)
RosyOutlook2 No, we can not. We can delay cancer to die from other causes, but “cancer” is mathematically inevitable for any multi-cellular organism if the living time is long enough. It starts when you are still in the womb. It is only a matter of time of when it can kill you.
Doudna she works with editing DNA and her name is essentially 'Jennifer Do DNA' so she's been told to Do DNA her entire life, now she has a Nobel prize for it. Should have named my child DouCurrency
everything in theory sounds amazing until you actual put it into practice , and observe what changes took place .there is always good outcomes and bad outcomes that we did not expect.
Amazing watching this in 2023 and listening to her saying that there could be use for the CRISPR technology within 10 years. This biological technology revolutionised vaccines and played a key role in helping to irradiate the 2020/2021 Covid pandemic.
I had a sister who had CF and had passed away from it as a baby. This was in the early 1970s. I am sad that this will not benefit those that have already died from genetic diseases, but I am happy that this tool will help future generations of people
Actually the first studies about the CRISPR were made by the spanish Francis Mojica, around 1996 he started working with this sequences, and he realized their inmune system, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier have done an incredible job, because they tried to take advantage of this CRISPR and use it as a new technique to edit the genoma, but we shouldn’t forget that the first one who made the discover is Francis Mojica, who didn’t received any Nobel Prize for it, in fact he was who named this CRISPR universally known✨
You don't get Nobel Prizes for discoveries. You get them for inferences and applications. Applications that change the world. CRISPR-Cas 9 did that. Finding it in E. coli did not.
How will it effect our instincts. The drive to survive, compete,for mates for status. if we're all made alike in terms of ideals,will wield not still find ways to challenge the obstacles that contribute to diversity. Just curious. Sports might be a thing of the past .if we lose the competitive edge what will take its place. Or if the world becomes overly populated over generations. I think our DNA in terms of our instincts will not go unchanged. I still think war and competition will be a problem.
I think variability is not anymore that important for modern humans. Nowadays we make our own synthetic fur so we wont die in cold weather; food just takes a short trip to the super market, you don't need a longer neck to reach fruits on a tree or powerful muscles and claws to hunt down a boar; etc. Only thing modern people need is a nimble set of fingers to type on a PC and phone...
Genetic variability is not just about fur or ability to reach food, it's about having a variation of genes in the gene pool so that if a disease or mutation were to arise that some genes were susceptible to, the human race wouldn't all be susceptible to. If we had no genetic variation, one disease could wipe out a large proportion/ all of the human race a lot easier.
jett lax however we cannot change that for all diseases and the probability would be that a disease would spread a lot quicker than you could change it by the time you identified it and the gene sequence.
I have no clue. But, I was just thinking about this a couple days ago. I saw some autistic kids and thought to myself:" they are like that because of genetic mutations, so we can't stop those mutations from happening but maybe we can correct them. I am serios here that lady stole my idea lol.
+David Ortiz Dr Bradstreet was working with GcMAF to treat autistic children. He had a 78% success rate of completely reversing Autism and Cancer with GcMAF. He is now dead and believed murdered because of his discovery. I believe there are many cures today that are being kept silent. Follow the money... The technology that Jennifer Doudna is presenting will never get approval if it works to cure anything. Most promising treatments take at the very least 10 years before they can even experiment on humans. Sorry to say that I don't think we will see this anytime soon. Well unless Monsanto gets a hold of it and uses the technology to have proprietorial rights on human subjects. I think they refer to human subjects as "Containers".
+Robert Krause Well, there might be some loop holes we'll just have to wait and see. There are many smart people here in the US they should move to Europe where they might have more freedom.
This is an important technique and the ethical and moral implications far -reaching, that's why it has to be discussed in a objective, calm manner, like the Professor explained. Looking at the comments under this video however gives me cancer. Reads like 90 % of commenting people haven't either watched the video at all, just want to spew nonsense or don't have any clue about what this method is, how it works, what you can do with it and what you can't do (yet). If you want to have a say in this and state your opinion, at least try to understand it or, if you can't ask someone to explain it to you (again). I also say the Genie is out of the bottle, I'm actually excited about it, still itÄs all about the way technique is sued (think about nuclear energy for example, or the internet... free information sea but also means to be able to be spied on, help shadowy criminals organize themselves, etc.) but talk about regulation is never wrong .

Marie curie is a woman that i wanted to know in real life but still wasn’t born. Jennifer Doudna is a woman that i can admire and watch her appearances on this kind of talks, trully watching her discoveries from her will. My mission now is to learn CRISPR technology (from walter issacson latest book and the internet *wikipedia :p) and make analogy to other events of fields like IA research or Quantum Computing, and also have other topics to talk to friends. Thanks Ted, internet and Doudna for this opportunity
At last!!! I am so happy for all those born with genetic disorders, and those who could benefit from severe conditions, thanks to this breakthrough in genetic sciences!But now it is out of the box...this could become doom or salvation, it`s all up to us.
I may only be young but i am really intrested in the project. Im glad that y'all could touch this subject. People have been arguing about this cause most think it'll change the person. It may,but they will be happy that they could change their faults of their body.
Another thing that i think y'all could do is practice on animals maybe? If you ever actually get this out and going to be sold,i would like it to be studied on animals first.
Is it just a huge coincidence that Jennifer has the letters DNA in her surname? Almost just like how family names may have indicated your profession in medieval times, be you a Carpenter, Smith or Fletcher for example 😃
I sincerely hope this technology will cure your daughter of CF! I cannot begin to imagine how it must feel as a parent to see what she has to go through just trying to breathe. It has to be heartbreaking and I'm so sorry. Best wishes to you and your daughter!
Best wishes to you and your daughter, but unfortunately Cas9 is in the prototype stages. You will not be seeing it used in mass for a century. First patients will still be expensive. $1200 for tests I believe.
You probably couldn't stop this type of genetic enhancement even if you wanted to. Even if you barred specific genetic enhancements, or limited it to some sort of point system in which you're allowed to edit 100 out of 10,000 known genetic traits, or regulated what you were and weren't allowed to edit (strength and height vs. things like susceptibility to disease, for example), people will find a way. If you have enough money, you can get anything, and once the flood gates are open EVERYONE will want the same advantages, which will give way to democratization of the technology. You probably can't stop it- at best you can only slow it down. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. It could be for a while, but if everyone were on the same playing field with the same level of access, it'd be a whole new game entirely.
@@LazinessSocks Take a straw poll of a mix of people you know. A surprising number of people will claim they don't want the option to live forever. It's pretty wild.

Like that guy who was found to have strong bone mutation. 18times normal bone density, If i remember correctly. 400-500 years i enough to get bored and want to die. For 99.9999% people. If everyone is super , no one is super. It becomes new normal. So all govt should provide it to everyone, so that we can evolve togather.

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." 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 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. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should. Was climate change anticipated? Were the production of epidemic diseases anticipated? Were rising sea levels anticipated? Was damage to the atmosphere anticipated? All the destructive consequences are the result of trying to play God and control nature. 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." This is based on a religious philosophy derived from Christianity.

this is of great interest to me. i hope they teach students about this woman in the future. this is a major breakthrough in science, its impact may be on par with the discovery of germ theory of disease, and the dispelling of the old theory of abiogenesis (the old model not the RNA world hypothesis). this may have more a more meaningful impact on the future of humans than the last 100,000 years (or more) of evolution. it also might be the key to allowing humans to survive and reproduce in the microgravity of outer space, allowing humans to travel to other stars in the future. people get mad when feminists are down voted on TED. well look at this feminists, this is a woman who has done more than most men will ever do in their entire lifetime. this woman has made a major contribution to humanity as a whole. i don't think women are powerless, i just don't respect talks about feminism when instead time could be devoted to stuff like this. this woman is admirable, actually i think admirable is an understatement, i don't have good words to describe this. she is someone we should all look up to and respect.

Did you guys notice the scientist's name ends with DNA i.e. Jennifer Dou-DNA. She is born to invent this. Cheers.
we can also read her last name as do-u-dna. Do you DNA?
She did not invented it. She use the stolen greek inventions, dna, laser etc which europeans stole from Alexandria library books.
Cloud VII link ?
Her team just lost the crispr patent war with Harvard/MIT
Because it is a team led by women...no other reason! They filed before Zhang and yet MIT was awarded foundational CRISPR patents.
I can't say how grateful I am to be born and to have the opportunity to enter the genetic field in such an exciting era of genetic engineering and how much potential there is for this technology. Just finished VCE and planning on doing a major in Genetics after my bachelor of science.
same hope u accomplished it
i am also willing to make a company around it so that i can invest more in r and d and hire people like u
i was 14 and in High school when I heard that DNA affects diseases. I asked my teacher, what if then we change the bad DNA part to a good one to affect the body cells and heal cancer or other diseases? my teacher told me to not think too hard. this video made me cry because it didn't know that this COULD ACTUALLY BE A THING and I wanted to be a scientist to find out how to do it. I wish I could work with scientists one day to perfect this. I study law however.
you can always combine law with genetics as a lot of it will be regulated and needs to ba addressed

Dr. Doudna deserves a Nobel prize for her work on this technology.
Keira Churchill she won't, because this work is incremental and based on a huge body of research by other people before and after her contributions.

Cameraman then went and pointed the camera at a bald guy.
I’m listening to this in 2020, and I’ve known about Crisper for over three years. I’ll never forget talking about it in my medical ethics class. While I do believe that it can be used for great good, it can also be used for bad. I’d say probably within the next 5 to 8 years you’ll start to see huge advancements and more use of crisper. One of the biggest issues I have with it though is What’s stopping somebody from just making super humans, or genetically superior humans? If you know how to use it properly, an someone pays you a huge amount of money, or a country decides to start secret trials on it, who’s stopping them? No one. Then you have hybrids or “genetically superior humans” walking around the population, then they breed, start a new generation etc.
Jesus Christ is coming to end it and He is coming here soon. Find Him before He finds you because when Jesus comes back, His wrath will be poured out onto the wicked. Truly believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. If you have trouble believing then seek Him with all your heart. He wants to save you.
@@MichaelSmith-xt8bt already saved brother, thanks for that though.
Yes! With no proper regulations like the internet there is the good and such evil can come from it as well
Known CRISPR for over 3 years and still can't spell it right
You are correct and incorrect. With all revolutionary technologies there are bound to be terrible people who abuse the power of creation. Like you said nothing is stopping them. Only time can tell what will come from this marvelous creation whether it be catastrophic or one of the most important tools to mankind. For example He Jiankui, the doctor who (allegedly) modified human embryos "illegally", already abused his power to some extent. I'm excited and scared to see how CRISPR ends up shaping the advancement of the human race.
When I watch this talk I get a real sense of something genuinely WORLD-CHANGING being discussed.
I can hear the Future knocking so loudly it's almost deafening.

Just like the millions of people who died from new vaccines. oh wait....
Watch the kurzegagt video jut search crisps on youtube
yea most of you are impressed by eugenics and the modification of humanity,
Enjoying covid? Not to worry your modifying vaccine is on the way
@@RosyOutlook2 Your comment is incredibly ignorant. CRISPR in the clinical setting is more akin to an organ transplant than a pill or injection. Sickle cell disease is being cured by CRISPR in adults whom would otherwise die young and live horrifically painful lives from the disease. Full chemotherapy must be undergone to wipe the defective HbS from the bone marrow. In wonderful news, 1 year after treatment, one patient's HbF surpassed ALL expectations and was found to be 47% of her hemoglobin! It is astounding you someone could believe this process is as simple as getting a shot; our bodies possess 30 trillion cells, each containing our entire genome.
CRISPR is a tool with important clinical applications. The field of Eugenics has unfortunately been around for centuries and must be resisted at all turns; sterilization of women is occurring all around the world as I type this message, even at the USA-Mexico border, without any assistance from CRISPR technologies. What have you done to fight Eugenics-based policies in the world today, such as those in India? There is much work to be done.
I sincerely hope you are not suggesting that we do not treat cruel diseases in humans because someone might use it to further an agenda. This could be said about any clinical treatment, medication, surgery; the sterilization of women in the name of Eugenics is done thru surgery. Should women not be allowed to have hysterectomies and tubal ligation because it is used daily to sterilize women without their consent, in jails, at borders, at institutions? The reality is horrific and terrible, and much work needs to be done. Demonizing progress does not address the core of the issue: human policies and attitudes.
It pains me to see how radiant she is, how much excitement she feels about this new technology and the possibilities for its use to cure genetic diseases. And yet, fast-forward to 2021, her technology is mainly used to genetically modify our food chain for the profit and market domination of a few biotech and food industry corporations.
And no, GM crops are not feeding the world, we have not seen increased growth in yields since their widespread application.
TRUTH U SEE HOW HER FACE BRIGHTEN UP WHEN SHE SAID IT IS EXCITING FOR THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE OUR NEXT STOCK MARKET MONEY WALL STREET RICH WHITE MEN AND WOMEN SCIENTIST, DOCTORS, CDC, FDA, AND GOVERNMENT MONEY MAKERS ON POOR PEOPLE.
@Get Happy
Cross-breeding is not the same as gene editing.
The first one only happens between organisms of the same category, i.e. between plants and plants, or animals and animals (like when you breed horses or livestock). It is a natural process that is only assisted by humans.
The second, however, is done in the lab, and allows scientists to transfer any gene from any species from anywhere in the genome, to a target species of any sort. It also allows gene editing without the use of a secondary gene sequence, i.e. cutting out specific sequences within the genome of an organism.
This distinction is important, for it allows you to understand the power of gene editing.
While cross-breeding or breeding allows you to grow wheat with a stronger stalk, which is more resistant to harsh weather, or which grows faster, gene editing allows you to insert into the wheat genome a gene that will make it (more) resistant to pesticides - hence, possibly leading to an ever-increasing use of pestidices.
Edit: Thus, while breeding is relatively innocuous, genetic modification of our food, if we talk about applying this technology in agriculture, can have a profound impact on our health.
Dominik, think again. This technology is what they are using now to change our DNA under the guise of Covid/Delta ….. and I’m afraid that it will not be for our ultimate good ….
@Get Happy that’s right … they are just now modifying us under the guise of Covid ….
People need to wake up ….
@@jenniferjaggers9321 That's an interesting idea and would definitely explain some occurrences that have taken place in the recent months. Can you refer me to any materials that I could use to study this issue?
I love how fair minded she is by asking for a “global pause” and not rushing into designer humans right away. It helps calm me to know that the future of genetics is in the hands of responsible people like her.
Just need to make sure the government military and weapon corporations are on the same level consciously and then humanity will be just fine with this technology.
You are so deceived. Your eternity is at stake. If I was you I would ask specifically to Jesus Christ to be cleansed and for forgiveness and acceptance of the true love of God. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Judgment is coming.

High Elven Wisdom And Love,
Do you remember the so called scientists claimed homosexuality and dark skin are diseases?
They would diminish the LGBTQ+ population less than 50 years ago.
Most so called diseases are socially constructed.
They are already screening babies to abort them just because they might have Down Syndrome, they abort black people, they abort more females than males with intent. This is not a good attitude, it is racism and discrimination.
They're the ones who caused HIV by trying to control nature.
Try and control evolution and unanticipated disasters are bound to occur.
Eugenics and genetic engineering are disgraceful, they don't have the right to determine who lives and who doesn't.
I don't want my DNA altered, I do not want to be cured of autism, I love being autistic. It is plain unethical, injustice, evil, selfish, dangerous and abusive to alter a person without our consent or permission.
The fact they think it's OK to diminish us proves we are not equally valued for if we were valued you would let us live regardless of individual differences.

Amazing work,.. my daughter is a scientist at max planck studying developmental biology...u are an inspiration to her.. love from India
Hi.. i am for your sister :) studying at Max Planck is my wish, may i know how did she get in there ? /gen
Wow! This is happening in my lifetime :-) amazing
oh you bought the lies they can fix us, did she say we can stop cancer, I didn't bother to watch the eugenicist speak
@@RosyOutlook2 yes she did , cancer is no more
RosyOutlook2 No, we can not. We can delay cancer to die from other causes, but “cancer” is mathematically inevitable for any multi-cellular organism if the living time is long enough. It starts when you are still in the womb. It is only a matter of time of when it can kill you.
@@RosyOutlook2 she is not trying to promote eugenics. can u calm down?
Oo my god i felt the same thing .. and i was soo happyyyy 😂😂
Doudna she works with editing DNA and her name is essentially 'Jennifer Do DNA' so she's been told to Do DNA her entire life, now she has a Nobel prize for it. Should have named my child DouCurrency
Yeaa Doudollar
Underrated comment 😂😂
Aldous Huxley is right once again
only because he knew the plan!
everything in theory sounds amazing until you actual put it into practice , and observe what changes took place .there is always good outcomes and bad outcomes that we did not expect.
Fixing a flat tire doesn't cause bad outcomes, it let's you get home 😪
Amazing watching this in 2023 and listening to her saying that there could be use for the CRISPR technology within 10 years. This biological technology revolutionised vaccines and played a key role in helping to irradiate the 2020/2021 Covid pandemic.
my daughter has CF and it's really a great deal of hope to watch this. thank you do much for your hard work and efforts!!!!!!!
God bless you and your daughter, I pray that this treatment is available SOON !!!!
I had a sister who had CF and had passed away from it as a baby. This was in the early 1970s. I am sad that this will not benefit those that have already died from genetic diseases, but I am happy that this tool will help future generations of people
I've seen this before in a movie, it was the intro to I Am Legend.
Im reading her brilliant book, A Crack in Creation. Fascinating at every page. Congratulations for all scientists involved.
Mark of the beast technology
Actually the first studies about the CRISPR were made by the spanish Francis Mojica, around 1996 he started working with this sequences, and he realized their inmune system, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier have done an incredible job, because they tried to take advantage of this CRISPR and use it as a new technique to edit the genoma, but we shouldn’t forget that the first one who made the discover is Francis Mojica, who didn’t received any Nobel Prize for it, in fact he was who named this CRISPR universally known✨
You don't get Nobel Prizes for discoveries. You get them for inferences and applications. Applications that change the world. CRISPR-Cas 9 did that. Finding it in E. coli did not.
But thank you for bringing attention to this. The incident is well-depicted in Walter Isaacson's book, The Code Breaker.
Hi I'm Jennifer DOUevenDNA, bro?
nice catch how freaky
She should change the pronunciation to "Do U DNA?"
You are NOT palindromic, but perhaps a bit of dromed-airy?
How will it effect our instincts. The drive to survive, compete,for mates for status. if we're all made alike in terms of ideals,will wield not still find ways to challenge the obstacles that contribute to diversity. Just curious. Sports might be a thing of the past .if we lose the competitive edge what will take its place. Or if the world becomes overly populated over generations. I think our DNA in terms of our instincts will not go unchanged. I still think war and competition will be a problem.
Marciano Padilla wow... such an insight! 💙💙💙
Don't pause. People are sick and suffering and we need this as soon as possible to cure cancer and other diseases
Well it could reduce genetic variability which is important for any species.
I think variability is not anymore that important for modern humans. Nowadays we make our own synthetic fur so we wont die in cold weather; food just takes a short trip to the super market, you don't need a longer neck to reach fruits on a tree or powerful muscles and claws to hunt down a boar; etc. Only thing modern people need is a nimble set of fingers to type on a PC and phone...
Genetic variability is not just about fur or ability to reach food, it's about having a variation of genes in the gene pool so that if a disease or mutation were to arise that some genes were susceptible to, the human race wouldn't all be susceptible to. If we had no genetic variation, one disease could wipe out a large proportion/ all of the human race a lot easier.
Sophie Nicole or we could just use crispr to change the site where that disease attacks and become immune to it
jett lax however we cannot change that for all diseases and the probability would be that a disease would spread a lot quicker than you could change it by the time you identified it and the gene sequence.
I am in school for Biology with a concentration in genetics. I want to go on to work with technology like this one day . Dream job :)
I too love this technology, a future editing of genome
I watched it 2 months ago and now she is nobel awardee
She won!! I’m so happy 😭🫶
This is frightening and fascinating at the same time
You should be frightened, because they are using that technology now to modify us under the guise of Covid/Delta ….
that's scary AND exciting.
All I see is the story line for 'I Am Legend' ;)
+Brian Anderson I see the Deus Ex game or even the movie Gattaca.
+Brian Anderson or Gatica perhaps?
I have no clue. But, I was just thinking about this a couple days ago. I saw some autistic kids and thought to myself:" they are like that because of genetic mutations, so we can't stop those mutations from happening but maybe we can correct them. I am serios here that lady stole my idea lol.
+David Ortiz Dr Bradstreet was working with GcMAF to treat autistic children. He had a 78% success rate of completely reversing Autism and Cancer with GcMAF. He is now dead and believed murdered because of his discovery. I believe there are many cures today that are being kept silent. Follow the money...
The technology that Jennifer Doudna is presenting will never get approval if it works to cure anything. Most promising treatments take at the very least 10 years before they can even experiment on humans. Sorry to say that I don't think we will see this anytime soon. Well unless Monsanto gets a hold of it and uses the technology to have proprietorial rights on human subjects. I think they refer to human subjects as "Containers".
+Robert Krause Well, there might be some loop holes we'll just have to wait and see. There are many smart people here in the US they should move to Europe where they might have more freedom.
This is an important technique and the ethical and moral implications far -reaching, that's why it has to be discussed in a objective, calm manner, like the Professor explained. Looking at the comments under this video however gives me cancer. Reads like 90 % of commenting people haven't either watched the video at all, just want to spew nonsense or don't have any clue about what this method is, how it works, what you can do with it and what you can't do (yet). If you want to have a say in this and state your opinion, at least try to understand it or, if you can't ask someone to explain it to you (again). I also say the Genie is out of the bottle, I'm actually excited about it, still itÄs all about the way technique is sued (think about nuclear energy for example, or the internet... free information sea but also means to be able to be spied on, help shadowy criminals organize themselves, etc.) but talk about regulation is never wrong .
I was getting upset at comments till I got to this one.
Do you remember the so called scientists claimed homosexuality and dark skin are diseases?
They would diminish the LGBTQ+ population less than 50 years ago.
Most so called diseases are socially constructed.
They're already using abortion as an eugenics tool so don't say they have a good attitude, this is racism and discrimination.
They're the ones who caused HIV by trying to control nature.
Try and control evolution and unanticipated disasters are bound to occur.
Eugenics and genetic engineering are disgraceful, they don't have the right to determine who lives and who doesn't.
I don't want my DNA altered, I do not want to be cured of autism, I love being autistic. It is plain unethical, injustice, evil, selfish, dangerous and abusive to alter a person without our consent or permission.
The fact they think it's OK to diminish us proves we are not equally valued for if we were valued you would let us live regardless of individual differences.
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."
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 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.
Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should.
Was climate change anticipated? Were the production of epidemic diseases anticipated? Were rising sea levels anticipated? Was damage to the atmosphere anticipated?
All the destructive consequences are the result of trying to play God and control nature.
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."
This is based on a religious philosophy derived from Christianity.
Marie curie is a woman that i wanted to know in real life but still wasn’t born. Jennifer Doudna is a woman that i can admire and watch her appearances on this kind of talks, trully watching her discoveries from her will. My mission now is to learn CRISPR technology (from walter issacson latest book and the internet *wikipedia :p) and make analogy to other events of fields like IA research or Quantum Computing, and also have other topics to talk to friends. Thanks Ted, internet and Doudna for this opportunity
She is a monster maker.
Yep they are responsible for a lot of deaths Her and the other Women Scientist for creating this .
At last!!! I am so happy for all those born with genetic disorders, and those who could benefit from severe conditions, thanks to this breakthrough in genetic sciences!But now it is out of the box...this could become doom or salvation, it`s all up to us.
She's really an inspiring scientist 😊 ... Would look forward to see this technology in future working for mankind
They can make us passive like the beagles they experiment on
Her surname has dna..
Wow, there are few people doing incredible things nowadays, I am fascinated. I loved it.
You go girl !
You're game changer for life..
This is the prologue of "I am the legend 2" haha

I may only be young but i am really intrested in the project. Im glad that y'all could touch this subject. People have been arguing about this cause most think it'll change the person. It may,but they will be happy that they could change their faults of their body.
Another thing that i think y'all could do is practice on animals maybe? If you ever actually get this out and going to be sold,i would like it to be studied on animals first.
*_Thanks for having English subtitles..._*
Is it just a huge coincidence that Jennifer has the letters DNA in her surname? Almost just like how family names may have indicated your profession in medieval times, be you a Carpenter, Smith or Fletcher for example 😃
Wow, you are very perceptive. What an interesting coincidence.
Ha ! Good eye !
She was designed by aliens
That was the first thing I noticed when the credits came up with her name....the DNs leaped out of the screen at me!
U RIGHT MORE FYAH THAT DOUDNA IS WHAT???? DNA REWRITES. LOL😄😄
Can you imagine how fast this could become the norm if we weren't wasting so much money in those fake wars.
This will cure my daughter who is suffocating to death from CF
It certainly looks hopeful. Hopefully the technology isn't too expensive.
I sincerely hope this technology will cure your daughter of CF! I cannot begin to imagine how it must feel as a parent to see what she has to go through just trying to breathe. It has to be heartbreaking and I'm so sorry. Best wishes to you and your daughter!
Amusing the Dark Thank you so much for your kind thoughts...its difficult sometimes
Best wishes to you and your daughter, but unfortunately Cas9 is in the prototype stages. You will not be seeing it used in mass for a century. First patients will still be expensive. $1200 for tests I believe.
ravenwda007 1200 dollars is incredibly cheap to save a life and compared to the rest of US’s health care
Other teenagers at 7am: sleep
Me: watching jennifer doudnas Ted talk
I'm glad that she's asking for a pause for discussion
You probably couldn't stop this type of genetic enhancement even if you wanted to.
Even if you barred specific genetic enhancements, or limited it to some sort of point system in which you're allowed to edit 100 out of 10,000 known genetic traits, or regulated what you were and weren't allowed to edit (strength and height vs. things like susceptibility to disease, for example), people will find a way. If you have enough money, you can get anything, and once the flood gates are open EVERYONE will want the same advantages, which will give way to democratization of the technology.
You probably can't stop it- at best you can only slow it down. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. It could be for a while, but if everyone were on the same playing field with the same level of access, it'd be a whole new game entirely.
Why would anyone want to stop enhancements? That's the best part of this discovery.
@@LazinessSocks Take a straw poll of a mix of people you know. A surprising number of people will claim they don't want the option to live forever. It's pretty wild.
@@JonathanHartwigi didn't say forever. But until i am bored. I am more focused on strength perks. Like that guy who was found to have strong bone mutation.
18times normal bone density, If i remember correctly.
400-500 years i enough to get bored and want to die. For 99.9999% people.
If everyone is super , no one is super. It becomes new normal.
So all govt should provide it to everyone, so that we can evolve togather.
If they can do treaty on something like nuclear weapons, this one is easy.
This one can be seen if it happened to everyone equally or not.
She is my idol. I hope one day I can work for her. It would be an honor.
Hi Victoria..
What’s your social media page?
My Finacee works in her field.
How about work WITH her?
you should be more positive and think about working with her and not for her.
I think that’s fantastic goal! Keep it up haha
this viedo should have far more. views
radcow maybe crispr can be used to cut off the stupid sequence piece of the huge majority of human beings....
She deserved the nobel prize !
She has many awards
No Nobel Prize yet for CRISPR/Cas 9...the technology deserves it!

Hé hé
I have absolutely no problem editing out the problematic code in my zygotes if it means reducing health risks for my own kids in the future..
Why not make your kids 'perfect'?
disease free and perfection are two different things
even without genetic ones they are still susceptible to enviromental factors
how about you just not breed..
Claudeus Gothicus But why do that when this technology can allow for someone with a genetic disease to have perfectly healthy children?
Heartfelt Congratulations to Jennifer A. Doudna for winning the Nobel Prize 2020. I agree on the ethical responsibilities, and moral hazards presented by Emmanuelle Charpentier’, and Your Crispr Cas9 scissors. Congratulations to Emmanuelle Charpentier, and Jennifer A. Doudna! An excellent decision by the Nobel Committee. Jennifer A. Doudna' proposal of an ethical Global Diskurs (Discourse) is very important.

this is of great interest to me. i hope they teach students about this woman in the future. this is a major breakthrough in science, its impact may be on par with the discovery of germ theory of disease, and the dispelling of the old theory of abiogenesis (the old model not the RNA world hypothesis). this may have more a more meaningful impact on the future of humans than the last 100,000 years (or more) of evolution. it also might be the key to allowing humans to survive and reproduce in the microgravity of outer space, allowing humans to travel to other stars in the future.
people get mad when feminists are down voted on TED. well look at this feminists, this is a woman who has done more than most men will ever do in their entire lifetime. this woman has made a major contribution to humanity as a whole. i don't think women are powerless, i just don't respect talks about feminism when instead time could be devoted to stuff like this. this woman is admirable, actually i think admirable is an understatement, i don't have good words to describe this. she is someone we should all look up to and respect.
