CRISPR / A Little Light In The Darkness
Many may not yet have heard of a, dare I say it, a a game changing gene editing technique that will thrill any science fiction lover to his or her marrow... and it is done in vivo.
The first successful usage of this technique which used (gasp) a virus to launch a microscopic repair crew, complete with replacement parts, into the cells of a human eye to correct a genetic disorder that causes blindness in infancy (by getting the dna to produce a missing protein) was done a few days ago.
This is the irony of the human experience. We, who are indeed blind to so much, can manipulate knowledge to the edge of being godlike... and there is no end in sight... unless we destroy ourselves first. I wish I could bet even money we will prevail, but I, alas, am a cynical realist re human nature.
Still, this is news to brighten everyone’s day.

Years ago the first Radiolab episode I ever heard was in CRISPR. Truly amazing stuff. I’m happy to hear it is finding some successful uses and making progress.

Amen
The documentary Unnatural Selection on Netflix explores this topic. The ethical and unintended consequences of implementing new technologies, in my opinion, are too often not examined sufficiently in the rush of enthusiasm to implement them. In contrast, there is also the issue of trying to cash in on new technologies which frequently means there can be limited access to them based upon your economic resources and the conflicts associated with disseminating them (e.g. patent law). Equally troubling are attempts to suppress such technologies or research in them before weighing their potential pros and cons.
@InfoCheck if you watch the second TED video you will see that co creator Dr. Jennifer Doudna called for a moratorium in 2015 to explore the medical and ethical issues re CRISPR. She forecast clinical applications in five to ten years and here we are in 2020 with the first human intervention. She is a beacon to those in other fields as well, like AI and robotics, though few will have the wisdom to follow her example. But, I guess, if she cures some mom’s daughter’s MS with the technique all will seem right.
science is amazing... let's fix all bugs made by mother nature during evolution ;-) Far future, comming soon....
The first human intervention being in 2020 isn’t accurate as there have been people who have setup small independent businesses with web based stores where people can order CRISPR starter kits which individuals could buy to conduct their own experiments. Some of them have experimented upon themselves. In some countries they have setup fertility clinics which use the CRISPR technology as part of the process too.
I‘m ready for a resleeve.
But for real, i‘m for science and this is a good thing.
But the rich will benefit first anyway.
Mother nature has faults, as humans.
Problem is we are also a destroying and aggressive lifeform.
The future belongs to A.I.
😂🤣😂
Obviously i‘m watching Altered Carbon season 2 right now but a lifetime is indeed to short to explore the endless universe.
I‘m already envious about people born in 100, 200, 500+ years from now.
But then, maybe not
There’s this pesky species with an ability to create tools which significantly exceeds its ability to manage how to use them. Perhaps some beings with a capacity to balance these skills better could be relied upon to fix them?
@InfoCheck, yeah, I saw ads on the article for CRISPR cells... now I get it. That is incredible.... hmmm, maybe change my dna so I can hear chord changes.
