Ding Dong and shut the fuck up there’s always got to be that one mr Crocker to ruin it 🤦♂️ taking about ItS onLy 3YearS let the guy say what he wants to
it's not possible to have full control of what you will be like in this life, that decision is up to the parent or whoever is deciding on the genetic engineering. although it would be cool for that to happen somehow.
@@sisenegellav if we get to a point where we eliminate death then at that point we will be interplanetary and there won’t be a problem with having more kids
@@pride4928 True. I was going to point out that Genetics is different from Space exploration. But if we are basically immortals, we could have all the time to figure out space and apply what you said.
i love how your videos don't only show the scientific aspects, but social aspects too! Crisper-cas9 genes may have unlimited benefits, but it's scary to imagine a world where being 'genetically modified' is the standard and those who can't afford it would likely suffer mentally - even physically.(maybe i should write a fictional novel about that hm)
If the genetically modified people are the standard maybe they are smart enough to realize that even the poor should be able to get as that will be a net benefit to society, hopefully we select for intelligence AND empathy.
@@auraezahraNot quite. It's genetic dystopias that are unrealistic. I read recent Carlos Lalueza-Fox book about how he's scared of "GAT-ACA"(Threonine &Asparaginian Acid) and quotes disable Jerome as example... That's just ridiculous tendency thinking!: Civilization advance enough to create babies like Jerome would also certainly have stem cell therapies suitable for healing spinal cord fracture! And similar healthcare for most accidents. Plus such civilization would treat their expensively designed babies as royal jewels.
@@auraezahraPeople often while thinking about Designing babies are haunted by early XX Century "racial" supremacy associations... that's also ridiculous! We already know very well that IQ is highly Polygenomic and pleiotropic, uncorelated with "race" which accounts for only 15 percents of polymorphisms between modern people, and that local adaptations are just that: Local adaptations. No "race" could objectively ever become supreme all geneticists know this. Therefore any (for now hanging among Quantum possibilities) future designed humanity will look more akin to New Age brown skin melting pot than Swedish "Blonden folk". If anything it will be racists and white supremacists that will be fighting against Noble He Jiankuis Revolution!
This video literally changed my life. After watching this video as a freshman in highschool i was set on getting into the biotech industry and now im an incoming freshman at Johns Hopkins taking a BME major. Legendary video.
---- > There's no empirical scientific evidence for random, unguided evolution. DNA is preexisting. Mixing human DNA with viruses or other species would be disastrous.
Individualised commercial gene-testing went worldwide, for starters. As usual, it normalised itself under our noses. The Chinese dudes who did the illegal baby edits ended up disappearing for a year and science has little sympathy for their unethical treatment given their unethical practises. Otherwise, I'm no expert, but I hope to be in the field in a few years time!
As a biotechnology engineering student, tbh we are still far to do the things that are mentionned in the video. There is a lot of research that has to be done, we know the human genome, but we still dont how it works as a whole, when we know we will be able to use genetic engineering in its full capacity (to cure diseases)
@@mandohunter8509A, we're not quite there yet. We still have a ways of research to go before commercial enhancements can be produced. B, such research CAN'T be done because a majority of countries highly regulate or even completely prohibit that kind of genetic research.
There were two babies genetically engineered in China but the scientist was jailed for performing the experiment unethically. He has been released from the jail. Maybe you'd like to check it out. The genetically engineered twins are going well so far.
What’s kinda crazy is how today we look back and see people dying from a common cold but in the future people could look at cancer and wonder the same thing about today’s world
Yes, but the problem is we have no idea what the implication of every gene is. Tweak this gene to give a person more resistance to cancer...oops, it also makes us insane in 3 generations.
@Josh D You have to look at percentages instead of hard numbers. We have over quadrupled thecplanets population in the past 100 years so of course numbers will go up. Also we are more industrialized which creates pollution which is one of the leading factors in developing cancer. Genetics has less to do with it than we think.
As someone with a genetic disease, words cannot describe how much I wish I could live a normal life. Seriously, the amount of suffering we could eliminate with Genetic Engineering is astronomical.
Is this a disease like a sickness? If you’re in pain or your life has been negatively impacted by whatever disease you may have, there’s an amazing medical device you have to try. Let me know if you’re interested. God bless
@@maruscaman Bruh seriously? I don't have a genetic disease, but why would anyone want to constantly be in unnecessary pain?? What good does it bring op to have this disease? Great good my ass.

I remember watching this in school and HAAAAAATING IT. Now, 5 years later, im watching it for fun! Really just goes to show how dreadful school can make learning :)
the school makes science extremely complex and annoying to even want to start learning, but a youtuber about something very intriguing even when we don't know even 10% of the science, but makes us want to know stuff we didn't want to see at school, by the way he shows the intriguing parts of it.
If we could perfectly replicate an animal with the newfound power to glow in the dark with cheap materials on a commercial scale, then it would be much cheaper.
True, but on the other hand can we afford to wait at all? People are dying every day who could have been saved by such modifications. While we sit and debate such measures people will still continue to die. Wouldn't it be better to do the research and save *some* lives right off the bat whilst we wait for equal access?
On the other hand, we could argue that- sadly -only the wealthiest will be able to afford it at first, but, that it is a necessary step before a more generalized access to it. For example, I imagine that when vaccination was just invented, the first ones to benefit from it were the wealthiest. Yet it is now accessible to most of us and I'm glad it was invented despite the unjust phase we had to go through.
I watched this a couple of years ago, and think we should have a follow-up to it. In the last 7 years, CRISPR has probably come a long way, which is why I want to see a revisit to this topic.
The only reason you even felt you had to voice that question is because in your mind you've made peace with the fact that all of us will most likely die before reaching 100 years in age. Way back in the day we invented wells so we could keep the clean drinking water away from dirty water thus increasing the human lifespan. No one sane would want to go back to that era by mixing clean and dirty water and bringing all the nastyness along with it. Human well-being and lifespan have only increased as our technology has advanced. Who knows how long humans will live in a couple hundred years. We might reach a point where living atleast a thousand years will be seen as completely normal. Only time will tell.
This is the vampire/immortality trope. Living forever without any biological dangers has the potential to bring crippling terror since the fear of dying from external factors is too great.
not necessarily, we are already being careful not to die because it's in our genes, living 40 years or 1000 makes no difference, we only use such concepts as age because our time is limited and with the passing of time our bodies decay and die, the decaying part or aging is usually followed by many disease and a great deal of pain and humility, being old isn't really a great thing. If however we can live for thousands of years then age will become a useless concept for us. Today we see it as some sort of, social status and we treasure it and care about it for different reasons. However, if you would always be young, healthy and have something to do then time won't mean much to you anymore, the time will pass and that would be it. Even today there are many middle aged people asking themselves when did all the time passed, sometimes they reminisce about high-school and could almost swear that those memories took place yesterday. The mind doesn't really care and can easily cope with many things.
Ouch. I feel celebrity children will suffer from their inexperienced parents decisions on their looks. It's bad enough that the kids have really dumb names...
As a disability pensionist, myself, I think that more than much else, I would be much happier in a future in which adults have the right to self-determine health, emotions, aesthetics and personality, but also the right to choose not to do so, with laws promoting equitable access to technology and laws against discrimination or harassment of either side. It isn't freedom without the right to also say "no", after all. One would have to be a lot more careful with things like super-intelligence or incredible strength, however. Even today, we already have a lot of people who are rejected and harassed for not fitting into the standards of their environment. Some people, particularly those facing sexual/personal harassment, have to deal with others trying to coerce them into a standard just because they look a certain way. This is not a problem with their bodies or technology, even if technology may force the conclusion. It is a problem with harassment culture, and it must be tackled as such. No one should be harassed for having or not having a desired trait.
@@jaierlles1 hahahahahhahahahaha.... I'm laughing because it's totally true and laughing is easier than acknowledging this uncomfortable fact... hahahahahhahahaha
TheKreepton Creeper While I do partially agree with your point, by refering to the previous comments, I think Vliffin believes that everyone can be super at the same time.
"I don't want a shot it's just a little cancer" Thats so true like if we have a bacterial infection from a cut you just use an antibiotic and we thinks it's no deal but, in the past having a cut would be fatal, the same would happen with a cure for cancer, a disease that if a doctor says you have it your life is changed forever.
Or you just let your immune system sort it out, which can't happen with cancer.... One should only use antibiotics for serious health threats and very few of those come from a simple cut - in the past too, cuts weren't deadly. Cancer almost always is if left untreated.
@@shukrantpatil Obvious bullshit. How is humanity supposed to have survived at all then? Why are cuts today not deadly, i have cuts all the time and i usually do not take any special care.
Abolish capitalism, and everybody gets a slice of the cake. Keep it, and you`ll get a hierachical system in which genetically engineered superhuman billionaires rule over us.
@MasterHMPAYST Workers owning the means of production does not lead to everybody owning the same amount of everything. It leads to the end of arbitrary hierachies which solely exist due to people inheriting absurd amounts of money from their forefathers, and companies acting like psychopaths. If a company is accountable to its workers, and not it`s shareholders it will act, on average, less psychopathic.
Draicor "But, lets remember we were less fortunate then because we had these things called 'femenism', 'anti-vaxxer'whatsits, and 'racisms'. Now those were some bad days."
Thanks a lot KURZGESAGT team for making all these highly interesting and informational videos. It must be taking lots of research and hard work. It is a great service to the society.
I really hope this technology continues to improve. The incredible scale at which we could end suffering really outweighs the downsides of subjective ethical oppositions. I have some genetic downsides I would really not want passed down to my children or grandchildren. There's no reason they should be subjected to that if it's avoidable.
Same. Depression, it'll take a while for me but I can fix it. However, epilepsy runs a teeny tiny bit in my family. If I actually did get it from my great grandad, then it can be passed down way too easily to my great grandkid if I have one. I don't want that. I have epilepsy and I fucking hate it. I don't want my offspring to suffer the same exact thing.
Exactly. We could even improve lives beyond what's normal today. Imagine a world where everyone has genius level IQ, unbreakable bones, toned muscles, and perfect memories. People could walk away from a car crash without even a scratch. There'd be no antivaxxers or flat earthers (or at least fewer). There'd be no obesity as everyone would be in peak physical condition, without even having to work out.
@@mahsa6591 maybe. Of course for the cases it will stop extreme pain/illness it will be the case. And there is no doubt of the net positive for these cases. But as species there is no guarantee. That is the reason it is very important we think how we use it. I believe in the end it will be a net positive and we will mostly good with it, but it isn't a fact that our quality of life will increase
@@TheChessRunner I can understand your perspective. There is no guarantee at all. I remember a famous sentence that "people can improve technology without understanding it". I guess we can't ignore scary aspects of it
4 года назад+503
I'm gonna feel so bad being an old classic human in the middle of a society full of perfect people
well, from what I learned from the video is that this kind of stuff can be done on something already alive, so it might not even matter if you were born or not
Cancer is still a huge problem implying "back in my day" is fantasy since they have no cure for it and your saying this entire video is hypothetical such as until it happens it just fantasy
"I don't want an injection. It's just a cancer." lmao I love this so much! It perfectly reflects our attitudes now towards vaccinations and how we forget that millions of people died before vaccines were invented.
I don't think that's the point. It's supposed to be a joke about a kid not stressing over what was once a serious disease. Key word being "kid." It's not a joke about stupid forty-year-olds.
Tom Sky do some research. If heavy metals like aluminum cross the blood brain barrier it can cause cognitive impairment. All vaccines contain aluminum and from time to time things can go wrong. It's not a conspiracy that vaccine related injury is a possibility that must be taken into consideration.
When I first watched this video, I was in high school with a passing interest in science. Now I model lung cancer using stem cells in a research lab. Thank you Kurzgesagt for being a part of my journey 🌍
@@keithwallace5277 also the point more directly relates to our unawareness of where technology is going to take us and how quickly it’s going to evolve in such a short time period, so it applies to people who were adults at that time too. Saying imagine if you were told that computers were going to reach this stage in such a short time period, you probably wouldn’t have believed it.
Dear Kurzgesagt Team, I know you have a lot of projects lined up and probably way too many Great ideas for future videos but i (and maybe some other People as Well :) ) would love a Second Part to this Video which details the progression in Crispr treatment since 5 years ago when this Video was uploaded. Also i just started Reading your book „Immue“ and have to say its a masterpiece! Keep up the great work!!! Kindest regards Dominik H
The real wisdom with crisper is knowing that cutting something out is likely to unbalance the pattern, much like why no one deletes your details from a DB but just disables the account in case it breaks or impacts other accounts. Scientists should be looking at turning things off and on, not cutting them out as this is a much more elegant and wise way of modifying the DNA code and bringing improvements
"Designer babies" already implies that it would cheapen the process of birth, but I feel like even past the vanity of human engineering, it would just be incredible to imagine a world where people just dont have heart disease and we can live as long as an elf. If I had a way of guaranteeing my children dont get any terminal illnesses in life I'd see no reason to not prevent it.
Well I mean, not many people lived much past 40 in the middle ages, so we have effectively doubled life expectancy in most parts of the world. I don't see why we can't do so again in the future.
@@hedera1332 Many people lived over 60 in medieval ages, it's just extremely high infant death rates that made the average lifespan so low. Some people even lived over 90 years old. We didn't change humanity, we are still the same Cavemans. we just eliminates stupid reasons that many people kept dying from (like drinking dirty water or gatting cut by a metal or having diabetes). Genetic engineering will fundamentally change humans as a species. That's where the difference comes from.
No, few decades maybe. Will someone weaponize it? Certainly. Will people use it as a weapon? Probably not. (Remember, no one uses nukes because they’re illegal)
that stuff wont be available for the lower classes i'm assuming, as with everything else, it would be private companies providing such services. it will be a thing that rich people do and that would probably create even more of a gap between the impoverished and the wealthy. rich people would just be able to buy their kids talent and beauty... that sounds like an interesting dystopian horror movie lol.
Three years ago I saw this video when I didn´t know what to study, thank to it I discovered what my passion was, now I´m studying Engineering in Biotechnology and in my classes we are seeing this specific topic, so I came to thank you. Keep it up with great videos!
I’m not sure if I’m terrified or excited for the day I’ll get to tell my grandkids “back in my day we didn’t have technology in our brains. We had to use computers!”
Don't worry about that. Worry they will be too busy trying to survive the climate change disaster we left them to have time to create such technologies.
2000 hundred year ago: '' You're the son of Ceasar. Everything that's special about you came from your blood'' seriously, humain will always find a way to feel down and been jealous from other. If you scared, just think about that: everything stays, but it still changes. :)
12 months old baby in 2021: "A jigga bubu abboo babboo, ueeee..." 12 months old designer baby in 2051: "Time-space is nothing more, but a four-dimensional continuum of one temporal and three spatial coordinates in which any event or physical object is located."
@@paweladamczyk4043 if ur trying to define where a dot exist in space-time, you use coordinate. Maybe x=2, y=5, z=10, and the time coordinate is maybe like = 5. I dont really know how to use the time axis, so lets just use the space one. x=2, y=5, z=10 is the example, the 2, 5, and 10 is the coordinate, while the x, y, and z is the axis. The coordinate exist in the axis, the 2 is the coordinate of the x axis, etc etc. So the universe is not just coordinates, the universe is the axis-es, where the events and the things in the universe and when it happens is defined by the coordinates If its a 4 dimensional continuum of 3 spatial and 1 temporal coordinates, it only defines one specific dot in space and time. If its 4 dimensional continuum of 3 spatial and 1 temporal axis, it defines the whole universe
twistedyogert You're not seriously against this simply because it's not mentioned in the Bible, right? Computers aren't in the Bible, look how useful they've become.
The only problem that I see with this is that just like medicine, producing organs will become a business and in a free market economy, companies can set whatever prices they want, so some might jack up the prices so high that the average person might not be able to get them. A better idea would be to genetically modify someone's own body to be more durable, so it won't wear out as quickly. As far as limbs are concerned, I feel that advances in robotics and brain-computer interfaces, could make prosthetic limbs just as good, or even better then natural ones.
Please make an update video. It’s very difficult to digest and understand the progression of things like CRISPR that have occurred in the past 7 years since this video came out. For many people you are the only real way they can begin to understand this insane technology. I get the appeal of your videos that talk about black holes and the likes but this sort of content is arguably more important.
Muhamad Nafis Jamil China is like always lying but if you look at them, you notice that they clearly need designer babies or in a long term their country would just become inhabitable for their own people
Planned Parenthood already got its name from the idea that people would use birth control _only until they were ready to become parents._ It was never part of the plan (ignore the pun) for people to have fewer kids on purpose. Just sayin'.
🙋♂️ Was born before the 1990s and am here. I also find myself forwarding and playing these videos to people I know born much, much, earlier than 1990. For someone like my Grandad, born in the 1930s, or my sister, in the 1970s - both of whom are ignorant of issues and knowledge such as this - these videos are not too technical as to be over their heads, but also interesting enough to be fascinating. Whilst the target audience may be people younger than 30, that consequently has the effect of making the videos entertaining to older people. Provided they are keen to learn, and the videos are trying to teach them something they discern to be valuable knowledge, then a youthful approach is welcome, provided it has the qualities above. The only time older people tend to not like videos aimed at a younger audience is when they are filled with references aimed at attracting those viewers purely for entertainment value, but add little-to-no meaning to the overall point of the video: understandably, they find this distracting, and especially so when the meaning
I'm here, born 1978 some of us are very interested in these topics. It's really amazing to have seen the birth of the internet and the world before and after. Being a kid in the 80's I can remember all the scifi movies about cyborgs and aliens and the future. I believe that Russia and China have probably delved deep into genetic engineering human beings, Putin gave a speech about it and you can tell he's very interested in genetically engineering super soldiers. I'm sure they are well into the process. One can only hope the United states is (secretly) doing this as well.
@@alltheanswers3567 Of course the US is doing it, but yeh I'm an 80's kid, and this stuff, I just hope to hell i live long enough to see all this amazing stuff.
please make another video on this topic something as revolutionary as crispr needs more talking about and learning about this topic is so incredibly interesting
@@dewanata_armoon It not always a question of good or bad news.. This kind of stuff totally stops evolution in it´s normal form. Imagine getting rid of all the lactose intolerant people? you would just delete diversity. instead if you let the people with the gene live their normal lives without mingling with their genes, they would eventually form a group where this is the norm, and they would then evolve to eat other stuff than dairy instead, which in itself is not bad at all. it´s just diversity, Evolution is in its core made of mutations just like this one. and eventually these humans could become another species of human, but if you mess with peoples genes, you will just have everyone with the same genes, and no natural evolution at all.. I don´t think we should just delete evolution.. I don´t see a lot of good in this. Also what about the rising numbers of humans in this planet + immortality? that´s just stupid. we would have no where near enough resources. The world is staring from hunger as we speak, and they would like to make the elite immortal? This video is just utterly retarded and total brainwash. If we follow the ideas of this videos, we will end up in a hellish dystopia, with the immortal elite ruling the immortal slaves and life will be even less valuable than it is today.
this brings up a very important point- banning such things won't stop people from getting what they want. it would just make it illegal and therefore more dangerous and unpredictable.
I really want to see a new video on CRISPR, it has been 8 years since this video came out and I doubt anyone can explain the new progress better than this channel
The only problem I have is the idea of "designer babies" mostly to deal with the fact that it would cost money and the people with more money could create better beings and lead to inequality of humanity, an even stronger example of the haves and have nots.
We already see something like that today with medical drugs, particularly antivirals. No doubt we might see a similar two-tier system where the rich get the "brand name" genes, while the poors get decent, but cheaper "generic" genes.
That’s the competitive egocentric monkey that drives this type of technology to the dark side. Always needing to be better or the best. Or the desire to be a God. Only a monkey would want to be a God. a God would be more interested in being human or experiencing some sort of mortality. Grass is always greener. And notice how all of these technologies avoid the fear of death. This sense of emptiness lonely ness and ultimately the fear of death. The fear of the unknown. An entire science driven by neurotic fear.....and possibly lol tax payer money...so enslaved humanity...doing things it hates...with the hope to live forever as an animal...while being experimented on by rich doctors and billionaires who want to live forever using everyone else as a test subject. Theirs all kinds of strange possibilities. Yet you can’t tell anyone vitamin C can potentially cure a disease. It’s a strange profit driven world we live in.
@@Noumenon4Idolatry But it doesn't matter... if we can get rid of certain instincts and reprogram people to use their brains instead... what's the problem?
Gandalf The Grey I don’t have brain cancer. Do you? I’m not against people receiving treatment for their cancer. It should be a choice. It wouldn’t surprise me though if one person dying from brain cancer would enslave all of humanity to live one more day. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had to kill a room full of children to receive his cure either. I’m sure some will do it. Evil is after all the uncertainty of survival. Legislators have not done enough work to regulate this wild west of emerging genetic and AI research. I don’t want to live in some communist Atheist shit hole country like China.
1:50 I have seen a woman being completely changed in her appearance after she underwent chemo therapy which is radiation treatment for cancer. I didn't recognize her until she told me who she was. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. Her hair color changed from blonde to dark brown. Her eye color changed from blue to brown. Her entire body changed from frail petite shape to larger boned.
People look at the downsides of this, like trying to create a master race. In reality, it will likely start with preventing genetic diseases. It's a necessary step to ensuring that human race continues to extend its average lifetime. It's going to be less "make sure my baby has blue eyes" and more "help eliminate dementia."
Jesus the son of man and the son of God was pureblood/sinless. Not born of the seed of Adam like the rest of us, hence why he called God his God and his Father, for he was not separated, the Father and he were one. He was tempted in every way, but chose obedience and kept that pure blood spotless for the blood covenant sacrifice and love for the Father and us. Without the shedding of blood their is no remission for sin, it had to be a spotless unblemished pure blood sacrifice. When Jesus took our sin into his body on the cross he cried out "My God My God why have you abandoned me?", he could no longer call him Father, he was in our state for the first time, separated by sin, our sin. 3 hours later in a loud voice he cries "Father into your hands I commit my spirit". Victory he calls Him Father, the father and son relationship restored. He is the door to the Father for all who come and repent, we become adopted children of the Father through the body and blood of Jesus. I have been in the presence of the Father and he alone is good, he is so loving, humble and gentle beyond description or measure. He gives us a new heart, something we cannot do for ourselves by no other means, it is a free gift of love and mercy, for He so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to redeem it back to himself. Our spirit's within cry "Father". The Life-giving Spirit is given teach, comfort and lead into all truth.
The movie "Gattaca" warns of this. The main character, who was conceived naturally, has a genetic profile so riddled with the chance of dying by the age of 31 that he is reduced to living a second-class life.

Crisper-cas9 genes may have unlimited benefits, but it's scary to imagine a world where being 'genetically modified' is the standard and those who can't afford it would likely suffer mentally - even physically.(maybe i should write a fictional novel about that hm)
If the genetically modified people are the standard maybe they are smart enough to realize that even the poor should be able to get as that will be a net benefit to society, hopefully we select for intelligence AND empathy.

I read recent Carlos Lalueza-Fox book about how he's scared of "GAT-ACA"(Threonine &Asparaginian Acid) and quotes disable Jerome as example... That's just ridiculous tendency thinking!:
Civilization advance enough to create babies like Jerome would also certainly have stem cell therapies suitable for healing spinal cord fracture! And similar healthcare for most accidents. Plus such civilization would treat their expensively designed babies as royal jewels.
@@auraezahraPeople often while thinking about Designing babies are haunted by early XX Century "racial" supremacy associations... that's also ridiculous! We already know very well that IQ is highly Polygenomic and pleiotropic, uncorelated with "race" which accounts for only 15 percents of polymorphisms between modern people, and that local adaptations are just that: Local adaptations.
No "race" could objectively ever become supreme all geneticists know this.
Therefore any (for now hanging among Quantum possibilities) future designed humanity will look more akin to New Age brown skin melting pot than Swedish "Blonden folk".
If anything it will be racists and white supremacists that will be fighting against Noble He Jiankuis Revolution!

@Cruiser we can.
The same with antivaxxers these days: “I don’t want an injection. It’s just measles.”
It is imperative that we address equal access concerns before we begin human modification. But we absolutely need to rush for that goal asap.
True, but on the other hand can we afford to wait at all? People are dying every day who could have been saved by such modifications. While we sit and debate such measures people will still continue to die. Wouldn't it be better to do the research and save *some* lives right off the bat whilst we wait for equal access?
On the other hand, we could argue that- sadly -only the wealthiest will be able to afford it at first, but, that it is a necessary step before a more generalized access to it.
For example, I imagine that when vaccination was just invented, the first ones to benefit from it were the wealthiest. Yet it is now accessible to most of us and I'm glad it was invented despite the unjust phase we had to go through.

To live for thousands of years... I think a really good question in relation to that is: How would the human mind withstand living that long?
The only reason you even felt you had to voice that question is because in your mind you've made peace with the fact that all of us will most likely die before reaching 100 years in age.
Way back in the day we invented wells so we could keep the clean drinking water away from dirty water thus increasing the human lifespan. No one sane would want to go back to that era by mixing clean and dirty water and bringing all the nastyness along with it.
Human well-being and lifespan have only increased as our technology has advanced. Who knows how long humans will live in a couple hundred years. We might reach a point where living atleast a thousand years will be seen as completely normal. Only time will tell.
This is the vampire/immortality trope. Living forever without any biological dangers has the potential to bring crippling terror since the fear of dying from external factors is too great.
not necessarily, we are already being careful not to die because it's in our genes, living 40 years or 1000 makes no difference, we only use such concepts as age because our time is limited and with the passing of time our bodies decay and die, the decaying part or aging is usually followed by many disease and a great deal of pain and humility, being old isn't really a great thing. If however we can live for thousands of years then age will become a useless concept for us. Today we see it as some sort of, social status and we treasure it and care about it for different reasons. However, if you would always be young, healthy and have something to do then time won't mean much to you anymore, the time will pass and that would be it. Even today there are many middle aged people asking themselves when did all the time passed, sometimes they reminisce about high-school and could almost swear that those memories took place yesterday. The mind doesn't really care and can easily cope with many things.
Finding purpose is already a challenge for many people, and many don't feel the "need" to live longer...life gets boring, after all.
Normally I'd say evolution, but evolution kind of requires death. Eh, I'm sure we'll manage.

It isn't freedom without the right to also say "no", after all. One would have to be a lot more careful with things like super-intelligence or incredible strength, however.
Even today, we already have a lot of people who are rejected and harassed for not fitting into the standards of their environment. Some people, particularly those facing sexual/personal harassment, have to deal with others trying to coerce them into a standard just because they look a certain way. This is not a problem with their bodies or technology, even if technology may force the conclusion. It is a problem with harassment culture, and it must be tackled as such. No one should be harassed for having or not having a desired trait.

The real wisdom with crisper is knowing that cutting something out is likely to unbalance the pattern, much like why no one deletes your details from a DB but just disables the account in case it breaks or impacts other accounts.

A think it should be "one temporal and three spatial axis". But idk im not smart
@@dudep504 Forgive the 12 month old baby.
@@dudep504 But if you change coordinates to axis, then it doesn't make sense. I think the 12 months old baby got it right in 2051 🤔😜
@@paweladamczyk4043 if ur trying to define where a dot exist in space-time, you use coordinate. Maybe x=2, y=5, z=10, and the time coordinate is maybe like = 5. I dont really know how to use the time axis, so lets just use the space one. x=2, y=5, z=10 is the example, the 2, 5, and 10 is the coordinate, while the x, y, and z is the axis. The coordinate exist in the axis, the 2 is the coordinate of the x axis, etc etc. So the universe is not just coordinates, the universe is the axis-es, where the events and the things in the universe and when it happens is defined by the coordinates
If its a 4 dimensional continuum of 3 spatial and 1 temporal coordinates, it only defines one specific dot in space and time. If its 4 dimensional continuum of 3 spatial and 1 temporal axis, it defines the whole universe

Well, there is nothing in the Bible about genetic modification. And God did give Man "dominion over nature".
twistedyogert You're not seriously against this simply because it's not mentioned in the Bible, right? Computers aren't in the Bible, look how useful they've become.
I'm hoping in the next 20 years genetic modification can grow limbs and organs for people as easily as getting pills
The only problem that I see with this is that just like medicine, producing organs will become a business and in a free market economy, companies can set whatever prices they want, so some might jack up the prices so high that the average person might not be able to get them. A better idea would be to genetically modify someone's own body to be more durable, so it won't wear out as quickly. As far as limbs are concerned, I feel that advances in robotics and brain-computer interfaces, could make prosthetic limbs just as good, or even better then natural ones.
Please make an update video. It’s very difficult to digest and understand the progression of things like CRISPR that have occurred in the past 7 years since this video came out. For many people you are the only real way they can begin to understand this insane technology.

this guy knows his audience. “imagine you were born in the 1980’s” lmaoooooooo
KTHEDEVASTATOR im sure the majority of the channel's audience was born from the 90's to early 00's
🙋♂️ Was born before the 1990s and am here. I also find myself forwarding and playing these videos to people I know born much, much, earlier than 1990. For someone like my Grandad, born in the 1930s, or my sister, in the 1970s - both of whom are ignorant of issues and knowledge such as this - these videos are not too technical as to be over their heads, but also interesting enough to be fascinating.
Whilst the target audience may be people younger than 30, that consequently has the effect of making the videos entertaining to older people. Provided they are keen to learn, and the videos are trying to teach them something they discern to be valuable knowledge, then a youthful approach is welcome, provided it has the qualities above.
The only time older people tend to not like videos aimed at a younger audience is when they are filled with references aimed at attracting those viewers purely for entertainment value, but add little-to-no meaning to the overall point of the video: understandably, they find this distracting, and especially so when the meaning
@Kait j I think you're on point with your demographic perspective
I'm here, born 1978 some of us are very interested in these topics.
It's really amazing to have seen the birth of the internet and the world before and after.
Being a kid in the 80's I can remember all the scifi movies about cyborgs and aliens and the future.
I believe that Russia and China have probably delved deep into genetic engineering human beings, Putin gave a speech about it and you can tell he's very interested in genetically engineering super soldiers. I'm sure they are well into the process. One can only hope the United states is (secretly) doing this as well.
@@alltheanswers3567 Of course the US is doing it, but yeh I'm an 80's kid, and this stuff, I just hope to hell i live long enough to see all this amazing stuff.

@@dewanata_armoon It not always a question of good or bad news.. This kind of stuff totally stops evolution in it´s normal form. Imagine getting rid of all the lactose intolerant people? you would just delete diversity. instead if you let the people with the gene live their normal lives without mingling with their genes, they would eventually form a group where this is the norm, and they would then evolve to eat other stuff than dairy instead, which in itself is not bad at all. it´s just diversity, Evolution is in its core made of mutations just like this one. and eventually these humans could become another species of human, but if you mess with peoples genes, you will just have everyone with the same genes, and no natural evolution at all.. I don´t think we should just delete evolution.. I don´t see a lot of good in this. Also what about the rising numbers of humans in this planet + immortality? that´s just stupid. we would have no where near enough resources. The world is staring from hunger as we speak, and they would like to make the elite immortal? This video is just utterly retarded and total brainwash. If we follow the ideas of this videos, we will end up in a hellish dystopia, with the immortal elite ruling the immortal slaves and life will be even less valuable than it is today.
@@aleksiraivio193 yes, but if the person that have bad genes wanted to remove that.

@@dewanata_armoon Yes but who decides what genes are bad and what genes are good?
this brings up a very important point- banning such things won't stop people from getting what they want. it would just make it illegal and therefore more dangerous and unpredictable.

The only problem I have is the idea of "designer babies" mostly to deal with the fact that it would cost money and the people with more money could create better beings and lead to inequality of humanity, an even stronger example of the haves and have nots.
I'm sure regulations will be immense
+John Pockla hopefully
We already see something like that today with medical drugs, particularly antivirals. No doubt we might see a similar two-tier system where the rich get the "brand name" genes, while the poors get decent, but cheaper "generic" genes.
Watch Gattaca, this film is almost all about designer babies.

When a genetic engineering is successful we get a science fiction movie.
When a genetic engineering is failed we get a horror movie.
not even a horror movie, we just get a dystopian drama series when genetic engineering fails.
something like the "Hills have eyes"

fail = Super Mutant ala FallOut

Not really. Most of the time a failed gene therapy will result in violent cancer growth

That’s the competitive egocentric monkey that drives this type of technology to the dark side. Always needing to be better or the best. Or the desire to be a God. Only a monkey would want to be a God. a God would be more interested in being human or experiencing some sort of mortality. Grass is always greener.
And notice how all of these technologies avoid the fear of death. This sense of emptiness lonely ness and ultimately the fear of death. The fear of the unknown. An entire science driven by neurotic fear.....and possibly lol tax payer money...so enslaved humanity...doing things it hates...with the hope to live forever as an animal...while being experimented on by rich doctors and billionaires who want to live forever using everyone else as a test subject. Theirs all kinds of strange possibilities.

It wouldn’t surprise me though if one person dying from brain cancer would enslave all of humanity to live one more day. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had to kill a room full of children to receive his cure either. I’m sure some will do it. Evil is after all the uncertainty of survival.

"Imagine being a pureblood"
-Genetically engineered people
You have just described the plot of the movie Gattaca.
People look at the downsides of this, like trying to create a master race. In reality, it will likely start with preventing genetic diseases. It's a necessary step to ensuring that human race continues to extend its average lifetime. It's going to be less "make sure my baby has blue eyes" and more "help eliminate dementia."
Imagine being a regular moron human living amongst these gods
Jesus the son of man and the son of God was pureblood/sinless. Not born of the seed of Adam like the rest of us, hence why he called God his God and his Father, for he was not separated, the Father and he were one. He was tempted in every way, but chose obedience and kept that pure blood spotless for the blood covenant sacrifice and love for the Father and us. Without the shedding of blood their is no remission for sin, it had to be a spotless unblemished pure blood sacrifice. When Jesus took our sin into his body on the cross he cried out "My God My God why have you abandoned me?", he could no longer call him Father, he was in our state for the first time, separated by sin, our sin. 3 hours later in a loud voice he cries "Father into your hands I commit my spirit". Victory he calls Him Father, the father and son relationship restored. He is the door to the Father for all who come and repent, we become adopted children of the Father through the body and blood of Jesus. I have been in the presence of the Father and he alone is good, he is so loving, humble and gentle beyond description or measure. He gives us a new heart, something we cannot do for ourselves by no other means, it is a free gift of love and mercy, for He so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to redeem it back to himself. Our spirit's within cry "Father". The Life-giving Spirit is given teach, comfort and lead into all truth.
@@listening2all Ummmmm... okay?
If kids bully other kids now because of their looks imagine in 50 years when a kids parent cant afford to do this
The movie "Gattaca" warns of this. The main character, who was conceived naturally, has a genetic profile so riddled with the chance of dying by the age of 31 that he is reduced to living a second-class life.
That's fucking up natures plan
