2. How do you think CRISPR will affect the world?
1. You're female genitalia
I'd LIKE to see it destroy genetic diseases etc. And even genetic predispositions to disease. However probably cause a bigger rift in the global rich+global poor than there was before.
It's just a tool
I hope we go extinct
Chinks will create ubermensch designer babies while the west debates about muh ethics.
Probably as much as the first antibiotic
There are a huge amount of restrictions to manipulating humans
And that's actually a good thing
Wh does the west want so bad to be politically correct?
>And that's actually a good thing
How so?
Fuck you I'm not female genitalia
>Hello user, it says here on your resume that you have predisposition for x diseases!
>A shame you couldn't afford that costly genetic treatment that other candidates could!
>What? Well, I know it's relatively small chance to actually develop x diseases, but the company is not taking any risks with your ass!
>Have a nice day!
I know this is far fetched, but still a possibility nonetheless
Watch Gattaca, then try to apply it on a much smaller scale to the real world
Gene editing would become cheap with time and be available to the general public though.
Inequality in the west has been minimized to the point where reducing it would require complete overhaul of the status quo (capitalism) which isn't going to happen save for a total global meltdown so people who are well-off enough are basically nitpicking the tiniest things to feel good about themselves or flat-out creating more problems to solve (ie. unqualified immigration)
tl;dr: white guilt
flag
It'll make a lot of things better, but like with every new technology someone will find a way to abuse it and create new problems.
Super plagues, but also it will be used for human experimentation, I could easily see China trying to change people's genetic makeup to make them easier to control and more subservient to the CCP
>Inequality in the west has been minimized
yes as far as capitalism will allow
please at least finish reading the sentence before posting my huehue friend
this,and Russians too
Not even close
Rampant coruption still hold us back a lot
e.g, the USA
0.0 we already manage to live 100 years and only due to crops. This is a meme for soyboys
Don't worry finn, brazilians consider themselves western.
>It's all White people who want to destroy their own countries and no outside source
hmmmm.
It's a form of totalitarianism/thought control.
We will make anime girls real! This time without surgery.
USA has one of the highest inequality ratings of the world
>... while the west debates about muh ethics
Women, amirite?
>wanting girls with cat ears/natural blue hair/huge purple eyes to become real
Please no.
>USA
Well, guess I should've specified "developed nations" or something instead of the west.
Anyway you're right, there's still a lot of room for improvement but the point I was trying to make is that the SJW types who would potentially raise hell about gene manipulation aren't focusing on the things that matter.
I wish it was as simple as the kikes mind controlling the sheeple but honestly I believe the systems are too complex for any single group to control, like trying to predict weather, you can make educated guesses and try to play the politics/markets according to that but there's no way that any single entity could play the entire world according to their whims.
I've been drinking loads all week and I'm not really sure if I'm making any sense anymore sorry guys.
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CATGIRLS FOR DOMESTIC OWNERSHIP
No, it's literally the reason why gene editing will be heavily regulated.
wayy more genetically engineered produce since CRISPR edits are impossible to conclusively detect, which means the law can't touch them
Unless available to everyone when released, it will create 2 species of humans. One super strong, intelligent, and all around better and the poorfag regular humans
So far, it only works in cancerous prone cells (the ones who lack the p53 protein) thanks to how p53 works. We are still a long way from a groundbreaking achievement.
It's extremelly hard to "edit" things like intelligence, because they are mostly reliant on epignetics
yeah I was being too hyperbolic. But yeah you're right. There's no one 'intelligence' gene.
You won't be able to magically change every aspects of your body by swallowing a pill or something.
It's still a foreign bacterial protein, subject to an immune reaction.
No matter how specific it is, there's still risks of genotoxicity, albeit much lower than with viral vectors.
A lot of our characteristics are developpemental, so unless you edit the embryo itself, CRISPR won't do shit.
Wasn't there a conference on ethics on genetic manipulation decades ago? Seeing how you need high tech and laboratories and lots of capital, I can't see rogue players or clandestine clinics cropping up with the ability to fuck with genetics, only big name players that can get bullied by governments. And if governments start secret genetics programs, they of course wouldn't want the wider public to know so you'll never really come across people with altered genetics all that often.
IMO they'll probably limit themselves to killing genetic diseases or, maybe cosmetic stuff like eye or hair color, that will get the same reputation among people as cosmetic surgeries do now and that's it.
>IMO they'll probably limit themselves to killing genetic diseases or, maybe cosmetic stuff like eye or hair color, that will get the same reputation among people as cosmetic surgeries do now and that's it.
Yeah this is what I think too actually
If we want to eradicate genetic diseases, why not just sterilise those who have it instead of yoloing with that?
It is not like we are going to enhance humans, considering we still can't make silkworms produce spider silk (and let's not talk about the retarded idea of using goat to produce silk).
Eugenics? Because its unethical that's why. Are you retard? Maybe someone should sterilize you. (jk that would be wrong)
CRISPR is eugenic too.
From what I heard CRISPR is going to be available to everyone to mess with genes. Not sure what that means though.
An entire generation of extreme nihilists
No its not, no more than taking medicine.
Permanently killing or sterlizing people for their genes, is eugenics. Retards (like yourself) are people too and should have all the same basic human rights that us normies have.
