The Realities of Gene Editing with CRISPR I NOVA I PBS

CRISPR gene-editing technology is advancing quickly. What can it do now-and in the future?
The revolutionary gene-editing tool known as CRISPR can alter, add, and remove genes from the human genome. The implications are immense: It could help eliminate illnesses like sickle cell disease and muscular dystrophy, and could even allow us to alter the genes of future generations of humans, leading to so-called designer babies. But will this ever really happen?
Medical journalist and pediatrician Alok Patel investigates the current state of CRISPR-starting with a bull calf named Cosmo. Patel discovers how scientists edited Cosmo’s genome so he would produce more male offspring, and what that means for humans. In conversation with scientists, artists, and ethicists, Patel explores what kind of gene editing is actually possible right now-and what we should be thinking about when we consider manipulating human traits and, ultimately, the human experience.

I think the bigger point (which could have been made clearer or better) was that in selecting "who gets to decide" we need to be mindful of existing social inequities. ie.: the process needs to be inclusive, culturally sensitive, etc. An easier objection can be imagined if you consider that old rich white men will probably be the first people to be able to afford genetic treatments, and that marginalized groups will have little say over who gets access.

A persons value doesn't come from their traits. Deaf person isn't valuable because they're deaf, it's because they're human and people value people. A disability isn't a negative thing, but it's called a disability (in the real world ignoring the politically correct eugenics of ideas) because it is, the absence of an ability. The reason that gene was probably picked for testing is due to its simplicity. She doesn't own the deaf community, she can only speak for herself. Consulting the deaf community only reveals the opinions of those consulted, there is no such thing as a deaf community with all the same opinions. This is a regressive tribalist idea. I have 3 siblings with a genetic abnormality that causes dystrophy because both parents are carriers of that abnormality that puts a stop codone that prevents proper formation of dysferlin. A protein necessary for cell healing. Luckily, the type they have isn't life threatening, but it does mean their arms and legs will get progressively weaker for the rest of their life. They don't feel like their value as human beings is inextricably linked to their disability, and would be horrified of research into treatments was limited because others that are insecure about their self worth didn't want to allow the option for others. I'm quite sure many deaf people feel the same way, and that lady doesn't represent them. The reason I'm watching this video is to better understand the science necessary to treat my siblings disability, and perhaps one day contribute to the possible set of treatments or perhaps even a cure.

As the deaf woman said, understanding the richness in one's differences, evolving our mindsets, would make me more comfortable about the ethics of CRISPR technology. Making more male cows is not a far stretch from making the world one ethnicity, is it?

I understand that new characteristics, in those humans what possess lack of 1 of their senses, will appear, and in the mist some are probably an evolution regarding human traits, psychology, etc. But, again, IMO I believe it's the choice of the individual that matters. There are many conflicting thoughts about this technology, and religion is also one of the big forces of denial that will most likely delay the possibilities of this tech.

The moral issue here isn't with fixing broken people before they are born, and yes, being deaf is broken. The moral issue is that rich are likely to gain access to this technology well before everybody else. Not only do they have the means of paying for it when it isn't covered by insurance or the government, but they have the means to travel to a country that allows it if their home country does not. There is a lot of talk about privilege these days, but after wealth the most important privileges are health, intelligence, height and being attractive - all things that babies of the rich will have well before the rest of us, and restricting access will only help create our Gattaca future.

It's been around since at least the 80's. Project Coast in South Africa; gene splicing and recombination. 1998 patents on Corona parts or genetic clippings. 2003 Patent on the whole virus by chimera researchers at CDC. Exported to Wuhan center for virology in 2014 after NIH cut funding in american facilities. Now they are just selling a kit that can only mess with bacteria. But what can this technology do? In Project Coast they were making pathogens produce more deadly toxins by clipping parts and isolating genes. They also refined and purified certain toxins using the same technology. It's really not comforting that it's not heavily regulated. I find these presentations to be heavily sanitized.

He was already reading and writing in Braille and the insurance company said gene testing and editing wasn't going to benefit him so she paid out of pocket. When I found her she said it was 4 years since his genetic procedure and he is able to live a normal life! I didn't give him 20/20 vision but it saved his eyesight and now he can live a normal life without reading and writing in Braille!!

Deaf children are more likely to die due to preventable accidents and are at a greatly increased risk for traffic accidents in older age, not to mention just getting hit by a car because they didn't hear it. Just because a person's kid is born to someone doesn't mean their kid wants to be deaf. Who are they to decide for their children they should be more likely to get hit by a damn car or in a traffic accident later in life? If she had a child with better reasoning ability than is suggested by the degree she somehow acquired, they would resent her for a long damn time.

This is incredibly smart. I research sexual development conditions' genetics myself and I never thought that inducing SRY-translocation De la Chapelle Syndrome in livestock could change our world. Something known with human De la Chapelle Syndrome is that patients are still smaller than genotypically male counterparts. These genetically modified XX phenotypically male cattle may produce more beef on average than phenotypically female cattle, but they may still be less than XY males. Perhaps increasing the potency of the cattle's androgen reception gene may make up for that.

It’s a double edge sword because the only way to perfect the practice is by trial and error and obviously it’s a big impact considering the losses , but everyday we are gambling with an unwanted gene expression or a defect within our genome so it just depends how you look at it … eventually we all want desired traits if we want to surpass the speed from its normal natural selection process

I get people who want nothing to do with gene editing, etc. Choice is important and im for that. What im not for is others telling individuals what to do and how to live their lives. Thats a trait of religous evangalist/zealots, a trait i'd prefer to edit out of existence. In the pursuit of science, exploration, and human advancement, we will NEED things like CRISPR and VIRAL PHAGES to survive and thrive in the years to come, ezpecially if we are going to make it to becoming a TYPE 1 civilization and decreasing our chances of extinction.

We see issues with GMO food, why would we do that to our babies?

I REALLY REALLY hope this becomes successful! I don't wanna be TRANS or Diabetic anymore 😭 If people deem it immoral despite it being safe, I will never forgive humanity. I should have the right to my body, my life and my happiness.

it is immoral. The human experience must live on, no matter how bad it may be.

If I could, I would want a combination of gene editing and the Dion quintuplets. I mean, five daughters, Jean edited it for sweet disposition gentle this position and things like that. I have read sci-fi stories about children being genetically modified to be super soldiers or super intellect, and I’ve even read one story where they were fatal virus carriers. So far though, I have not read a sci-fi story featuring five little daughters engineered for sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s the kind of thing I would be interested in.

So the genetically modified cattle will look similar the all natural cow but in reality it's not. The genetically modified fruits and vegetables we eat look very similar to natural ones however the genetic makeup has been altered, they do not have the nutrients and vitamins that are essential to our health , most tend to be small in comparison to natural not to mention the taste is even different We are only beginning to see the negative affects and do not know what the full consequences will be .

So.. if we humans are nothing but mammals in the animalistic sense and certain sexes at the animal level are more suited for different purposes, why is it so hard to believe that men and women were are and can never be equal?
