It's unethical not to do more research into the matter, given how much problems in this world are caused by genetics.

If we prevent diseases and save lives, how is that unethical?

[EugeneKhutoryansky]

This takes the law of unforeseen consequences to a whole new level.  On the other hand, perhaps every alien civilization goes through the phase where they learn to modify their genes, and then their future evolution increases exponentially, and this is just our turn.

If changing a small part of the DNA saves someone's life then yes.

when will we have the X-gene and become mutants?

[daniell]

We'd be speeding up evolution and fixing bad gene branches all without sacrificing humans. Whats there to not like?

Love the show, my question is do workout supplements actually work like protein and creatine? does the body absorb it and put it to good use?

Man please, I wish my parents could have used this to make me a genius before I was born.

Is it possible to get piloerections on your scalp with or without hair there?

[caradu]

I can't use those watch now buttons on the video. Please always put the link in the description as there is a huge gap in the way you are trying to direct traffic. Thank you!

Guys, you gotta put the video that you recommend on the end in the description, otherwise these is no way to watch it on mobile device. E.g. in this video you did not day the title so I simply can't find it, even if I wanted to ...

Is it possible to change skin color by using crispr cas9 treatment?

[nickwilly]

I want that Thorium shirt! Where did you get that?

[anonsmith]

I had to read a paper describing a CRISPR/Cas9 protocol for my directed study. It seems so cool.

[Xoryon]

when mention "splicers" are you referring to the Batman Beyond type of splicer, where humans would be a human/animal hybrid?

[Jamony]

He speaks like this is all new and revolutionary, but I thought this was all pretty well established. 
Although I do biology at university.
Is this has physics students/physicists feel when watching their physics videos?

[FlashYourJak]

I may be wrong but do you not alter a babies DNA if for example you smoke whilst you're pregnant, or drink, or eat too much sugar or fat. If you can make these kind of changes so passively what is wrong with direct changes for a positive outcome.

[RainierKine]

Personally, i dont want to sound selfish but how do i edit MY GENES now?
