mother nature gave us something that's
richer than our imagination
we saw a very peculiar pattern never
seen anything like this before
i remember him saying remember this word
crispr we've never had the ability to
change
the fundamental chemical nature of who
we are
and now we do and what do we do with
that
biggest doctor told me just hold on
there's something coming
you can actually use crispr to change
dna
you can actually do it
we could engineer a single gene that
could potentially make us all more
muscular
but should we make that universally
available
ideally
[Music]
should we really be manipulating the
heredity of future generations
given our lack of knowledge about so
many things
i don't know where you draw the line
between not having albinism and deciding
your kid needs to be an extra foot
taller so they can be a good oarsmen and
go to yale
where is that line who's going to draw
that
anything that will stop my child from
suffering
i'm four you know draw this ethical line
wherever you want but don't draw it
in front of my disease
what does that mean for this science
where we have the capacity to edit in
some things that we think are important
are we playing god
you don't realize it's disruptive until
you look backward often you don't
realize
that you're in the middle of a
revolution until after the revolution
has occurred
