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.

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.

@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.

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.
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.
Oh sweetie! Did you get your leg cut off by that mean mister streetsweeper? Come on, let's get you a new one. But mom, the bleedings stopped and my pain inhibitors are fiiiiinnnee!! My guild needs me were about to do a raid dungeon!
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.
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.
"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.

@@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

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

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.

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)
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.
🙋♂️ 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.
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.
Surprisingly likely. That wouldn’t even require gene splicing. Some people can breathe just fine in extremely low oxygen environments. If they nurtured that some humans would be adapted for space colonization in a couple generations.
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
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.

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.
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
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."

@@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.
@@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

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
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)
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
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 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.
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
No one: Literally no one ever Future Karen: I don't care if crisper "cures" cancer, it is unnatural and causes autism. Get your facts right professionals. Plus, how long has it been since cancer was a problem? There's no cancer for it to cure, so your probably just tricking me. Scientists: let's modify all babies genes to eliminate the Karen species.
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 greatly appreciate the effort you put into the visual aspect of your videos; they greatly add to the transfer of information, AND have a wonderful edge of humour to them... kudos!
Honestly I think it's the next stage in our evolution and not a bad one. For most of human existence only the strong healthy and smart survived so most of the time only the best genetics got past on so we evolved and we evolved the world around us. Now we live in a time that most will survive at least long enough to pass on their genetics and with that we are passing on the bad with the good. If i could have my dna edited right now I would
@@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.
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'.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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
Yeah, I agree. Making stuff recessive is better than trying to delete it completely in case of any issue.
Sounds good to me

I don't care if crisper "cures" cancer, it is unnatural and causes autism. Get your facts right professionals. Plus, how long has it been since cancer was a problem? There's no cancer for it to cure, so your probably just tricking me.

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!
When crisper gets better they should call it crispier

IT'S CALLED CRISPR OK DUMMY!

Dude lmao
I greatly appreciate the effort you put into the visual aspect of your videos; they greatly add to the transfer of information, AND have a wonderful edge of humour to them... kudos!

Honestly I think it's the next stage in our evolution and not a bad one.
For most of human existence only the strong healthy and smart survived so most of the time only the best genetics got past on so we evolved and we evolved the world around us.
Now we live in a time that most will survive at least long enough to pass on their genetics and with that we are passing on the bad with the good.
If i could have my dna edited right now I would

atleast there is no more bad genes.
cool, finally someone that understands the true problem of this topic
@@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.
doctor will provide it...
@@dewanata_armoon Yes but who decides what genes are bad and what genes are good?
This will give 'planned parenthood' a whole new definition...
Holy fuck you're right
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'.

"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.
@@asdfasdf-mn8iu What I believe they meant is we have advanced further,and might eventually reduce cancer to a harmless disorder
@@asdfasdf-mn8iu cuts were deadly back then if not taken care of .
Yes
@@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.

It must be taking lots of research and hard work.
It is a great service to the society.

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.
