Thanks to revolutionary tools like CRISPR-Cas9, the technology required for designer babies is already here, moving from theoretical science to medical reality. We explore the massive potential for curing genetic disorders and the urgent ethical question: what happens now that we can edit the building blocks of life?
In this episode of TechWkly, we explain the science behind the headlines and ask the hard questions about the future of human evolution.
In this video, we cover: Intro: The Sci-Fi Reality What is CRISPR-Cas9? (The "Cut & Paste" Tool) How it works: RNA and Molecular Scissors Real-world uses: Curing Sickle Cell & Fighting Cancer Editing Nature: Mosquitoes and Crops The Dark Side: Off-target cuts & Ethical Concerns The Future: Organ regeneration & Personalized Medicine
Key Concepts:
CRISPR-Cas9: A tool adapted from bacteria used to edit genomes with high precision.
Gene Drives: A technique that forces specific genes to spread through a population.
Bioethics: The study of the ethical issues emerging from advances in biology and medicine.
