Crisper Technology

[Mortimer]

With it you can cut the genome, it is already used today to restore lost bodily functions, but you can also use it to change people that I just saw on Pro7 Galileo Doku. For example, governments could breed people with more muscle mass than is naturally possible. How do you see that from an ethical point of view?

CRISPR, not Crisper.

And it is rather fascinating what they claim they can do.

It is also scary as hell as they could change the cells so that they are passed on from generation to generation. This sort of thing always seems to have unintended consequences

They can only do basic sequences on only 1 gene problems

Won’t be for many decades until they can do multiple genes . Most problems are multiple genes

I think it’s morally great and the future
