Should biohacking be enabled or restricted?

The big thing is...this tech WILL be used. We just need to make sure it's available to everyone not just elites and rich

"You always imagine that doctors will be there for you, or scientists will be there for you, or somebody will be there for you. But, a lot of times it's just not the case"...... "Be your own hope"! Very well said!

You guys remember when this guy replaced his entire G.I. microbiome because it was failing him?? The man’s a legend and an inspiration. His philosophy on self-healing and his approach to science are absolutely nothing to be in up in arms about.

Dude's got a phd, worked for NASA. That's not ur regular DIYer. I feel like he may be qualified.

I love how people are concerned about "bad stuff happening" when cigarettes and alcohol are legal 🫠. Makes sense.

That is dangerous but then that's how man learnt to light a fire....

I biohack every day via a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.

Using DIY CRISPR to change one or a few specific genes in your DNA (to change a trait about you) is easy in theory, but incredibly difficult in practice. There's a reason why most single gene disorders don't have CRISPR-based treatments yet - it's not only difficult to DELIVER the CRISPR system reliably to your DNA to get a desired effect, but we also don't know about all the downstream and long term effects. Imo its quite important to know how complicated genetics is and those who don't understand this should stay away from DIY CRISPR. Open to discussion :)

This should be supported for small scale stuff like targeting enzymes. Thought Emporium on youtube already cured himself of severe lactose intolerance using this tech. Imagine for instance, editing genes so you can fully digest cellulose, making any leaf a calorie rich meal.

I think what that dope dude was saying and what Odin is doing is for a noble cause. Also I agree that having a select few that are rich and powerful, and in the most top of the top elites having the only access to something life saving is not a great thing.

Remember kids, the government loves you very much, knows what's best for you and is using your money very efficiently.

“Be your own hope”…. I agree with that statement 100%

This channel always put something interesting and totally different than normal thinking

Designer babies would be cool. Make them glow in the dark for the 1st few years of their life so you know where they are, you can save on night lights! Maybe make them bounce so they don't get hurt when they fall. You know the basic stuff!

I love this guy for no reason at all

I do really like this man. It seems he was trying to save many people's life. I hope he can keep doing what he want. Medical companies must hate him, the profits they want sounds really too much.

Thanks for the vid! So much to learn about biohacking…currently exploring nutrigenomics, DIY biology, and grinder.

This dude is the business! They should be pushing this tech, getting more people involved! Amazing stuff!

This is very informative. Thank you freethink team for this. Love your stuff.♥

Imagine all of the underground biohacking thats happening as were watching this

I totally agree with this guys message... but the mistakes made by the narrator in describing this technology (zero judgment or criticism from me you guys did a decent job compared to a lot of science journalism) do highlight the reason why science is elitist. It’s not that the information is necessarily locked away (it is...) but that it it sufficiently complicated that you can’t really understand it without training. Also... He most likely did not transfer himself with the CRISPR construct he made... if I remember correctly he did not load it into a virus. So even if his chemical transfection method worked it probably had an undetectable change in the gene.

I’m just saying. I’d be cool to have my tendons replaced with ostrich tendons. Who wouldn’t want to run over 40 mph?

I like this guy soo much, please let him know that 😂

I hope to get into this. This is next level self improvement.

I remember this guy from Unnatural Selection on Netflix.

If he wants to do it on himself, fair enough. I wouldn't buy a kit from him to do experiments on myself, I'd buy some weed from him though 😂

this is what we have to do until "public" universities in the US are public again. Right now "science" is only accessable to those who can ace standardized tests and pony up $30k + a years tuition to look at ppt slides. There are a lot of innovative people out there that just want to do hands on science without the bureaucracy, elitism and high pricetag of a university.

I'm gonna inject so much crispr that I become a super-villain

Im 100% modifying myself into a super villain..

i love you josiah bro!! i solute your thoughts!!

Finally something actually useful instead of just nfc chips that function the same taped on your hand as they do inside your hand

Interesting.. Knowledge is the key New sub

We wouldn’t have cars if they were banned due to crashes

Lol, anybody else notice one of the gals wearing a Jurassic park t-shirt?

Could you get rid of ADHD with Biohacking?

Looking at this production quality, the view count always surprises me. Hopeful that the algorithm will smile upon the channel soon.

Too good man . But ,there is problem gene editing is complex and could have undesired consequence . So we should also have tools and mechanism to counter this .

It's not always 100% accurate in labs, that's why it's dangerous to even try it in garage

I don’t care about the risks there might be. I would rather die instead of failing. I will go through anything to achieve my goal. There is no possibility of failure because I can’t fail. It’s not me just not wanting to fail, it’s me not being able to fail. Failure is not an option. I will do whatever it takes.

I think that the scariest thing is that most people won’t have access to (or even care about) disposing their waste properly and there is no way of knowing what kind of effect that could have on the environment. Not to mention intentionally malicious actors who would try and make something to actively harm other people.

I think he has some solid points. If we have a chance to prevent any disease or all of them so far we know. We should try that

It went clear over my head, the point that is. Directly over my head.

You can bioengineer a short term solution to lactose intolerance. Someone on KZfaq did it with genetically modified yeast. Why isn’t this a big thing?

Its really hurt to see only 500k people subscriber for a quality channel which deserve 5m atleast.

When John Oliver says you're wrong, you're probably on the right track.

I think he makes some valid arguments. I do think the risk is potentially high, but historically there have always been big risk takers that have made big breakthroughs. It's hard to say what's right here and i think that anyone who says it's easy to declare authoritatively one way or the other are selling something.

SKEPTICAL PERSPECTIVE AHEAD: I understand (and personally agree with) the perspective that the FRUITS of this technology should be available to everyone regardless of race, gender identity, religion, sex, creed, social class, etc. That being said, I have a significant issue with the idea that the tools to edit the genome of an organism should be made available to anyone who wants it. CRISPR is in its infancy, it is already incredibly capable and nobody knows how much more capable and easy to use it will be in the future. It is currently within the realm of capability to genetically modify a deadly bacteria/virus and destroy humanity at a large scale. I don't think it's in our best interest to make such a powerful tool readily available. You're required to register your car, register firearms, register heavy machinery, boats, anything that can do damage. I believe every positive application of this technology should be equally available to anyone who needs/wants it, but open access is a recipe for disaster.

There used to be diy crispr cas kit on amazon but not anymore.

How should I start learning this skill? Where could I buy the tools?

3:32 that lady’s mask didn’t cover her nose what’s the point Also second

How do I get a kit and can I fix my PKD.

this guy is such a nerd, i love it

It's good that he's trying to spread it among everyone. It's just that we know so little about what DNA does that changing it can potentially mess you up. Hope people are aware when they buy from him

My god, be careful people, for yourselves and the public.

Actually, it’s also illegal in China, that doctor He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment then.

USA banned CRISPR embryo editing but GM food is legal.

I am just speaking off the top of my head here, but if someone will inject themselves with Black Tar Heroin and roll the dice to die then why not use your brain and body to educate yourself instead. At least this may give you a new love of science and an understanding of the human or the genome that could lead you to a new and productive use of the mind. Not saying go out and try it but if you are about to throw your life away, then at least use it for good.

This is fascinating

This is a dangerous premise.

It's not obvious which is the better choice, but my hunch is that it is GOOD that it is available to the public. The bureaucratic pipeline surrounding pharmaceuticals, therapeutics, and the FDA takes way too long, sometimes for good reason and sometimes for not so good reason. Regulations regarding participating in human trials VOLUNTARILY creates many scenarios where people dying of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, various genetic disorders (like the neurodegenerative Huntington's disease) just have to sit and wait with crossed fingers for a new drug that shows promise to take 5 years to see if 100 people or whatever are positively influenced. The people that will die from this will be few relative to the people constantly dying because of the bureaucracy of the 'official' pipeline. I'm not saying down with regulations, I'm just saying it should be the biggest priority in the world to reduce those regulations to the bare minimum possible to still allow for a high degree of safety. not to mention it creates an opportunity for bioengineering garage startups, something not really possible back in the day; software was the only garage entrepreneurship for the most part that anyone could do. 3d printers made manufacturing and engineering startups possible. and this makes bioengineering startups with a very very very small budget possible. I'm not saying bioengineers using diy crispr kits should be immediately injecting people, I'm saying it seems like a GREAT thing that they could do experiments on live cells and things like that in a petri dish.

How long is the wait until the bio hack take effect? Are they talking to enhance brain function or cell growth, what about the elderly community? Would they be willing to try new medicine?

one step closer to my army of wasp/spider/rats

…okay but what did he actually do when he injected himself? What was he trying to do? I feel like that’s a super important part of the story here.

Thanks!

It’s not just self experimentation that I think Josiah is encouraging...it’s also “a valuable exercise in citizen science” ok they just said it

"We are doing everything for noble cause, our technology would save the world. I tried to make a statement abot how rich get all the medicine and wanted to popularize it. For people's sake... Did i say that we are gonna save the world?" Describe tech, don't describe how important and influential it is.

KZfaq's algorithm slipped with this vid. This should've been in my recommended. People doing to their bodies what they do their PCs. Yes. Certainly. Science is for everyone. Do not continue to let others create our perception of reality.

LMAO!!! Megan Hochstrasser's eye brow HAHAHHAHHH

Can crispr fix my genetics hyperpigmentation what do you think?

I'm so okay for Making science so much more available for independent passionate people. I find the current structure of science and control, holding back so much. Science should be happy because it's all just free research for them that "they don't have to be responsible for but can benefit from learning from the outcomes" so imagine human trials, where they don't have to be responsible and still gather insight from? They should love that. It's not going to stop big companies to continue to make Profits. They will always find ways, so idk why they have such a freak out reaction over anything that thinks outside the box...

Dudes my hero.

I had no idea Ed Bassmaster has a PhD and worked at NASA. Neat.

5:57 I think the Jurassic Park shirt is a little on the nose lol

I am curious if someone is working on biohacking human efficiency of metabolism, so we could reduce the requirements of industrial farming by reducing human consumption.

Imaging if Biohacking would have been available even before the Covid-19 pandemic, possibly it could be easier for communities to cure their ill or make themselves immune to the virus before they get it...

Can it help someone with addiction

Hi where do you get these kits from ?

Reminds me of that time I was forced to take a vaccine so could get a job or buy food or go outside my house. Good times

In the United States, germline gene editing is not explicitly illegal under federal law.

It reminds me of people int the first half of the 20th century who thought that radiation has some wonderous health benefits and started putting radioactive material into cosmetics and stuf...

this guy is Clovis Bray in the making !

So few views this video should have thousands of millions is an interesting information, i want to know more about this is just blow my mind. Yes it could be dangerous, this could cure a lot of disease but you never know to where this paths will lead you that is the risk.

You don't control me. I'm installing a microchip in my brain right now just you wait.

That's crazy 😲 , how long before it's a drug like thing???

I guess walking somone around with a Bluetooth vibrator doesn't count as biohacking

i just added editing my own genome to my bucket list

I need to find this guy and get some modifications done.

What's the worst that could happen?

Well, not everyone. Most people can access it but it need to be control. Once you have the correct sequence for certain virus or bacteria, you can replicate it and then possibly spread either to an individual or a whole country.

Feel like we are walking such a fine line next to a very very slippery slope

No one is coming to save us. There is no promised land, unsheathe the blade, and either die in glory, or trimputh forevermore

so why can't we use this to tack on extra telomeres?

I like this guy already...

My body, my choice right? Except for when you can’t control the narrative…

¿Cómo quemar un microchip o tecnología de biohacker implantada en tu cuerpo sin tu permiso para robarte?

Wasn't there a video game that had a similar premise? Oh yea Bioshock... cool to think about and explore in a video game but to do IRL I don't know

Where do I get this stuff. I have an idea.

Anyone know what the Adidas hoodie hes wearing is called?

"Do not become addicted to being human, this is only temporary. " -Robert Monroe We all should have access to this. I think self custody over our genetics is everyone's right.
