I Dont Want To Segue On Her Uk, But

we’ve touched on it So I’m going to do anyway the control problem for UK is something that’s difficult. I think not allowing our creations to go out of hand. Is there a similar concern with regards to developing these tools for longevity that you could nefarious group could get ahold of the technology and then weaponize it or do something really really sort of untoward well Yeah always you can turn technology against humanity. I’m not worried about that so much with what I do because even though we have the technology to make mice and probably people aged rapidly, it’ll be about the slowest way to damage your enemies. There are much more efficient in the head as all has been created as a pretty efficient way to there’s there’s that and somewhere in between you know we could.

Pretty Easily Unleash A Deadly Virus

that wouldn’t be too far beyond what we could even do in this lab not that we would but yeah, but in terms of making people age prematurely we should consent me do it and I could take you downstairs or maybe somewhere. I shouldn’t say and there if there are mice that we can control their aging process forward and backwards. So that’s doable um where I think people get uncomfortable with this technology is so we now understand that there are genes that control how long we live there’s one for example, called UK, which is turned on in wales and longer lived animals than us. There are even human variants. My children were lucky enough to of them out of three to inherit two really good copies of this longevity gene and so they’re probably gonna live a lot longer than.

• technology
• outlawing
• mice
• concern
• oversight

My Wife And I Will Um So

we know a lot about that so why does this get weird well now that we can UK engineer babies what’s gonna happen when the world’s most intent helicopter parent wants a kid that can live 220 that’s probably doable right now whether or not we should is another question whose job is it to work out whether or not we should well right now. There’s a worldwide debate among scientists about whether we should come out against it interestingly when when human stem cells were first discovered and that you could reprogram cells and clone animals. There was a much greater backlash. You probably remember the the Blair Bush days where there were all these in these committees set up and it was banned here in the UK, but we had something just as big happen last year was that the Chinese.

Researcher Professor He Had A Couple Of Well-Engineered

a couple of twins twin girls who were resistant going to be resistant to UK infection and he and you know engineered those genetically Now there was a little bit of upset a lot of scientists got upset because this was announced without any warning at a scientific conference. There was no oversight. There was no consultation with governments or other scientists. So the shock really took us all by surprise, but there was no major backlash there hasn’t been yet there hasn’t been any outlawing you certainly don’t hear a lot of backlash at the higher levels of government over here in the UK at least um I think that’s healthy I think that what we’ve got is a very rational debate and that we shouldn’t just overreact just because something feels weird or isn’t has never been done before now.

Need To Discuss Not Just The Ethics, But

is it safe and that I think safety is more important than than ethics actually and what I mean by that is someone’s ethics might be different than yours. I mean usually I come down on the side of freedom to do things as long as they’re safe and that they’re beneficial and there’s some consent, but in this case what’s tricky is that your children don’t have consent so that’s why I think it’s it’s a hard one, but what if your child was definitely going to get say a dominant genetic disease and there was no way to get around it except either have new parents or don’t breed or to have an abortion. What would be an example of a dominant genetic disease, so Huntington’s. For example, if both parents have Huntington’s, you can or even one you can.

• turn technology humanity worried technology
• maybe create embryo uk editing
• uk infection know engineered
• tools longevity nefarious
• worried technology make mice

Have A A Child With Huntingtons.

I mean you can always select the embryo, but maybe you don’t want to kill embryos. So maybe you could create an embryo that you go in with this UK editing system and chop out the bad Huntington‘s gene and create healthy child that should be doing you.

Summary

There are genes that control how long we live there’s one for example, called UK, which is turned on in wales and longer lived animals than us . The control problem for UK is something that’s difficult.& I’m not worried about that so much with what I do because even though we have the technology to make mice and probably people aged rapidly, it’ll be about the slowest way to damage your enemies.& There are much more efficient in the head as all has been created as a pretty efficient way to there’s there’s that and somewhere in between you know we could.
