Trace, oh Trace. How good to see you again. I've been off RUclips for a bit due to circumstances out of my control, but glad to see me fellow Detroiter is still here doing his thing.. I do like the shorter format. Casualization of a topic is better than longer attempts. And your delivery is always exactly the style that keeps people's attention.
Just wanted to comment that I'm so glad I just found this channel! I've been on youtube since before google owned it and i have over 600 subscriptions.. So i've been going through old defunct subs and channels and when I hit some old D news stuff I was like, Hey I loved that host! Google'd your name and landed here! So glad your still making content... and now I have backlog to checkout!
Thank you for this nuanced yet comprehensive explanation of a very difficult topic. I love the long videos, but I think I might love this shorter format even more! Keep 'em coming! Please 😊
Hi Trace! So, have certain groups of individuals declared these things to be people yet? Also, that it's an abomination or whatnot? I know they aren't people, but that won't stop certain people from saying they are.
@@TraceDominguez Realistically, it's inevitable. There will be giant masses of people who still oppose this for increasingly thin and transparent "religious" or "ethical" reasons no matter what, often with outright inaccurate "facts" born purely out of ignorance.
Thanks for acknowledging the moral issue with this video. This does sound like a promising alterna Maybe more shorter videos with long form to follow up and deep dive if a particular topic trends well? Just a thought.
So these cells that the researchers created are embryo-like cells I understand... Could this field have applications in stem cell harvesting - a more ethical and personalized method of getting pluripotent stem cells? Is this already in practice? or Is there some issue with this 5% difference from real embryonic cells and thus stem cells?
Plant based meat is way less efficient compared to real meat but this research development is a step in the right direction. It will help us perfect artificial wombs so we can free mankind from gynocentrism
This sounds great, but there will be OTHER ethical concerns, namely creating people who have no legal rights because of technicalities or whatever biotech companies will come up with to protect their "property." We live in a capitalist reality. You can't discount the obsession with property rights and profits just because you found a loophole for one ethical controversy (which is a silly controversy to begin with, but religious people are pretty obsessive and like to ruin things for everyone else). In fact, what you describe using the analogy of burgers pretty much sums up the issue. If you create a person from that tissue, is it a person or does it just behave like one? Should it have the legal rights of a person? Should it be considered property because a business created it? Does the business fill the same role as a parent, and have the right to teach it whatever they want? Plenty of issues arise from this, mostly revolving around the concept of property, and how we as a society value living things (or more accurately, how we DEvalue them for our benefit). Don't be duped into believing "it can't happen here/now," because it certainly can. We haven't changed all THAT much since the Civil Rights movement, and a lot of the people who were fighting against civil rights back then...are still alive today. As are their kids. Their hierarchical, anti-humanist thinking didn't just go away. Dog whistles took over for a lot of the explicitly bigoted arguments, and now they're throwing out the whistles and pulling back the curtains to show that a lot of people still believe those things. Edit: Listening further, not being "real" (viable) embryos sounds better. However, there still needs to be a lot of oversight to make sure that we're not just told what we want to hear out of expedience.
Does your clone play cards with Joe (bork bork) Scott's clone? He should get out more and away from the console. I think all edutainers on RUclips should have either a clone or a Robocody. Except for Simone Giertz: that's too on-the-nose. LOL.
Genetic disorders like diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancers, intersex conditions, autism, gayness, etc. As an autistic person this research is scary. It brings us closer to eugenics and it opens the doors for a lot of marginalisation and discrimination...
Another autistic person here. Don't fix us, we are not broken. We are just different. Population diversity is very important to resisting new threats. If everyone is the same everyone can be killed by the same virus or pathogen.
I don’t think this is about “fixing” people - no one wants to not be who they are. What it is about is understanding where and how some genetic or cell-division disorders may start. My hope: Understanding differences helps us accept and love 🎈 thanks for your comment!
@@TraceDominguez here in Philippines we have these crazy expensive cured “meats” which I was crazy enough to buy just to try out made from soy and mushrooms. I will admit that it has gone a long way and the taste has definitely improved much. 20 years ago you can get plant based “beef” that looks like beef but tastes like cardboard. Nowadays, it looks like beef but taste like a meat (a little bit) but the aftertaste gives it away.
If I didn't know you are from Seeker, I wouldn't know this channel is an educational one I thought it was just a clown from TikTok who's talking misinformation on RUclips.
Not quite, I’m here and yes what supporting is evil and wrong and the fact that you’re ignored is because you’re very unliked and not worth paying any attention to most likely
Hey Trace, liked the shorter form (i'm able to watch it while getting ready for work), but please dont stop making the long style too!
Por que no los dos!

Welcome aboard!
Ngl growing synthetic humans would be kinda cool
Buddy would know
Love the content! keep it coming, short or long 👏🏼
Thank you ☀️🥳
Yes
Man, can’t wait for the eugenics guys to get a hold of this >.>
Why?
I was being sarcastic... @@TraceDominguez
Truly, this is the finest video about this subject.
Very cool, miscarriage is a very traumatic part of many people's lives and we should work to change that
Agreed
Thank you for this nuanced yet comprehensive explanation of a very difficult topic. I love the long videos, but I think I might love this shorter format even more! Keep 'em coming! Please 😊
2:59 Nice Terry Bisson reference.
thinking meat????
Sounds like someone found a legal loop hole. That may or may not be a good thing.
We’ll see
In which country the research is going on.?
Hi Trace! So, have certain groups of individuals declared these things to be people yet? Also, that it's an abomination or whatnot? I know they aren't people, but that won't stop certain people from saying they are.

9:05 Did everyone get that Notting Hill (1999) reference? 🤔
You said all the spooky 'genetics', embryos', and 'research' words. Time for all the weird fearmongering comments ripped out of Hollywood plotlines.
Hahahaha
Well done, my man.
Thanks bud!
I will now be saying “bump uglies” for the next month! LoL. Great and very interesting video as always Trace!
Ha! I heard it when I was a kid and it just stuck
Like the shorter version can listen on the train- yet get my fix of science thanks :)
Don't play. I miss you Trace
I miss you too!
He's not in jail anymore (Doctor He), I looked him up recently. He got out in 2022.
Syth Humans would be so cool
Or warm, depending on
Thank you Trace for striking the balance w content duration. The future of reproductive medicine sure looks bright!
Thank you
Thank you!
It's cloning time
I doubt it - they can’t be implanted
Is it path to designer baby?

Sorry Trace … tried plant-based burger … it did NOT taste like animal based burger.
really? where did you get it?

Wait a minute how could it possibly be unethical when it's not going to become a human. That's just idiotic.
a lot of research will not happen as long as reeeeeeligion interferes with it. I'm expecting some reeeee, luckily I'm usually just ignored.
