Gene Editing: An Inside Look At Hacking Our DNA | Why It Matters 4 | Full Episode

Hack your DNA, and change your destiny. Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene editing tool that can eradicate diseases, and maybe one day even enhance our looks, personalities, and abilities. How does it do that, and are we ready for it? Host Joshua Lim finds out what conditions he could be passing down to his children with a DNA test, and questions if CRISPR could write them away. He meets some dengue-destroying mosquitoes, and anxiety-relieving vegetables that have been genetically edited with CRISPR. He also finds out why many are still hesitant to adopt this revolutionary biomedical technology. despite its accolades.

=======================================
About Why It Matters: Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. It is transforming the world we live in faster than ever before. Our inquisitive host Joshua Lim is back on a mission to sniff out the emerging trends and technologies, to ask the questions you have always wanted to ask, and some you have never even thought about.

Hiv immunity, this sounds like a hero not a criminal

[rodateclan]

This the same time when fallen angel edited dna at time of noah

[e.v.k.]

Gene Editing is the most exciting thing ever

[Kalamolng]

I'm glad this is back! I luv this show!

[amyang]

it's incredible how much science has improved over the years! i'll love for gene editing to happen in the future. prevents so much illnesses. hopefully by this we can get rid of alzheimer's or high risks of heart attacks! go science

[julzee]

Why do they have to send the DNA outside of the lab why can’t they do the testing for COVID-19 at the doctors office without sending your genetic code to some collection agency outside of the hospital or clinic. That should make everyone suspicious

[roymcallister]

No ! . . . . This makes us unGodly . It makes us an abomination . We were made perfect by God .

[ssrihharinaidu]

I Love the presentation of this kind of DNA related, Hats off all the TEAM

[Kelonius]

Definitely gene editing myself probably, idk about my kids thought definitely will haft to think about. I think it’s weird though how we don’t want to push the humans to are limit genetically but will do it technologically

[monicahoward]

Finally a great video about CRISPR! Thanks a lot

[amarbabup]

God bless these young genius team and wish all success

[gmaws.]

What about nutrition do the GMO lettuce have any nutritional value?

[donnacoleman]

Making your self as the MOST HIGH GOD there is a judgement wicked.

[jennydkwong]

This is phenomenal, I want genes editing for 2 kids. I'm in a mid-40 & dont mind paying to have the perfect, healthy kids. It's sad to see children/ people with diseases & disabilities. Do another video on how the process works, who, where to contact, how much it costs & stuffs like that; i'm sure there are lots of people like me want to have a 'disease-free kids thanks🙏🏻
I also want to use Crisprc to reverse/ slow down aging too

[waltermarlin]

Does a record of the person's genes before diseases need to be recorded in order for gene editing to work?

[kongming]

When a Chinese scientist did this, he's a monster / it is not science / reckless.... etc If this was announce by a whiteman, he is a genius, great scientist, saviour, he deserved Noble Prize etc

[OneAboveALL-udun]

CRISPR/Cas9 has the potential to transform the world;yet the ethical cloud of human modification overshadows these conversations.

[PD-wstd]

It's actually really obvious who is against gene editing and why; it's because of religion and primitive god beliefs. These people think we are altering the way "god" designed us to be. It's literally setting humanity back.

[julzee]

Would not be giving any biz or govt access to my genetic info!!

[jjgohard]

I kinda lowkey wanna see a superhuman with super attractive traits and see how perfect it can get
