Imagining CRISPR Cures | Fyodor Urnov | TEDxBerkeley

[bikojalal]

I have a son he has been diagnosis with Ethylmalonic encephalopathy disease which is less than hundred people in the world they have this disease. My son is four years and eight months old he is mildly affected. Our hope is this gene therapy will be available soon and it can save our sons life.

Every day my mind is blown by our Technologies and passionate people in the world, making these things possible. Thankfully the good guys do eventually find their way. 🎉

This is excellent. No one knows who will develop a disease in the future. It’s important the solution is there before not after

Thank you for information and bringing awareness of "Health Justice". Health justice is necessary because it, all we would be left with INFINITE GREED OF UNSUSTAINABLE HUMAN SOCIETY

[rickidhal]

Thank you for championing the possibility of cure, I watched this with a ton of hope. I have to say your words are powerful but it's extremely hard to impossible to find anyone on this planet who can offer cure via crispr now. Just a bunch of videos saying we must do this. There are illnesses that can be cured now but it doesn't happen. Probably won't happen in the lifetime for many people dying right now. How do we really change this now?

What about for autism and global development delays/disabilities?

Your speak made me cry at the beigning

Is CRISPR being studied for use in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis patients yet?

[lexwil]

I am a dialysis patient and I know this would reverse the actions of kidney disease

[dancar]

we are going to automate medicine and this is going to get easy

Love the idea of CRISPR in a perfect world, but this brings up concerns and raises important questions about access and equity. If gene editing becomes widely available, it could create new forms of social and economic inequality, with only the wealthy and privileged able to afford the treatments and enhancements that come with CRISPR technology.

I have Thallasaemia heterogeneous, Hyperthyroidism, Sjogren, autoimmune diseases, kidney stones, vascular retinal occlusion. Can I get any treatment ?

[akhiy]

I have PTSD and i want to erase my trauma .i don't my future children to not have any kind of disease😭

[jaqueitch]

Indeed, Bluebird Bio is bound for bankruptcy

[nmbrctrman]

Weaponizing Crispr seems to be a big issue in the future as well

[WorldlyBudget]

I just want to genetically engineer myself to stop aging after the age of 25 😆 👌 let’s

[jebediahconde]

Can we crisper out the speakers mouth noises?

[imagreatguy]

This is the 4th comment. Shit's RARE...

Stop swallowing into the mike. It sounds dreadful and prevent me from listening 😢
