    the question was “why” genes mutate: because DNA replication isn’t perfect, mistakes happen. when the mistake in germ cells isn’t lethal, you get a mutation that can be passed on. sometimes even a single nucleotide mutation can change the amino acid which can significantly change the protein.

    imagine using Fahrenheit to talk about temperature xDDD

      the one thing that annoyed me a bit, either use centigrade, or man, even kelvin, just… not farenheit

    • boyHowdy113

      June 6, 2023 at 5:25 pm

      ​@STS Yes, because a popular audience will understand kelvin… Obviously he chose F to make it accessible, although I agree he should have given both. Not everyone is American.

      June 6, 2023 at 6:03 pm

      @boyHowdy113 fair enough, I would say C, kelvin was something I decided to say out of spite, as it is “the proper measurement of temperature” but being pedantic for that is pointless. but absolutely, I think it would very much benefit american audiences to experience the metric system more as a whole. just like you said, no need to remove the imperial, just have both to one side

    While I kind of wish I did like cilantro, I think it’s a bad idea to “fix” these genetic changes. They arose due to some form of evolutionary pressure. To assume this change is “broken” in the first place is a fundamental mistake in the logic. Basically, as mentioned in the beginning of the video, we don’t want to homogenize our genome because it opens us up to the reemergence of the original pressure that caused this genetic quirk. For example, the current theory on this cilantro aversion is that there is a parasitic insect that lived/lives in our bedding. The people who developed the cilantro aversion gene picked it up because this parasitic bug emits a chemical that’s unfortunately shared within the flavour/aroma profile of cilantro as well. The interesting thing about the quirk too is that the people who like cilantro cannot detect the smell, and by that I mean, they’re incapable of smelling or tasting the component. The people who you want to “fix” have the ability to detect the chemical. If anything perhaps the solution is to “fix” the cilantro to remove the component that “normal” cilantro loving people can’t even tell is there? Of course now we have a paradox, do we risk humanity for the sake of cilantro of risk cilantro for the sake of humanity? If a choice had to be made between the two, I’d think perhaps we would risk cilantro for the sake of humanity because we likely could maintain two branches of the cilantro species in one of several capacities without genetically putting cilantro at risk as we would continue to cultivate and protect it.

    Could we engineer aging to slow it it down to extreme levels? I really hope we do. Right now, gene editing is focusing on really bad and rare diseases but maybe it should be working towards what the majority needs also! Protein folding also seems interesting, I just hope we move fast enough for the current living people so that they can benefit the tech. I’ll happily learn biology and genetics to help if I can

    To be honest, the human nature is to enhance, Stone Age > Bronze Age > Metal Age 🤘, Industrial Age, Technological Age… Why won’t we want to push the boundaries and enhance ourselves? Less disease, hunger, longer life, better innovation, great minds that we will not loose too soon. Ethics has always been a matter of perspective. I do think we will end up in a genetically modified society its just a matter of time, look at RNA Vaccines which is the first step into that genre for the masses

    • João Meira

      June 7, 2023 at 4:29 pm

      DNA is made of different nucleotides (A, T, C, G) and their chemical structure can be altered, for instance by enzymes. He talked about methylation – that’s the most common way a gene can be structurally altered when you add a methyl group (which is just an atom of carbon with three hydrogens). Some genes are not expressed unless they are methylated (the mentioned activation), and others are inhibited when they are methylated. Epigenetics is the field that studies those structural changes to DNA that change their expression.

  43. Peter Sage

    June 7, 2023 at 4:13 pm

    I’ve been rewatching _SeaQuest DSV_ recently, and that last question sounded like it came straight out of the Season 2 premiere, which introduced a hominin race of genetically engineered life forms (GELFs) who, due to their engineered genes, could survive and thrive in a low-oxygen environment; due to the destruction of rainforests, the use of machines that capture CO2 to sequester carbon and generate oxygen to keep our air breathable, and a fully implemented SDI system (ask your parents about that last one, kids), this was a crucial plot point. Unfortunately, Spielbergian pseudoscience woo tanked the plot, not just for the premiere, but for the rest of the series.

      Where I live you can also get the little red ones, and a few kinds of plantains. You can actually still get Gros Michels and other rare cultivars but they’re expensive and have to be special ordered. All the big commercial farms produce Cavendish only, pretty much.

    I have to disagree with the last ethical response. With evolution and adaptability mostly inapplicable to humans in the developed world, and the reality of industrial processes putting a lot of very reactive materials in the air we breathe, I’d say genetic enhancement would be a fantastic pre-emptive/preventive solution to a lot of types of cancer.

    Amazing to think if we had more resources, we could focus on the nice to haves. Once we’ve conquered diseases, we can start to focus on enhancements. Which enhancements are justified or allowed will be another conversation, one I imagine we’ll have to vote on.

  78. Stanley Kassim

    June 9, 2023 at 11:04 am

    For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. If we engineer the genome to enhance something, it will cause a chain reaction. Let’s say we enhance the genome to increase bone density: this should cause the body to give priority to the bones when ingesting phosphorus and calcium, causing other phosphorus- and calcium-dependent parts of the body to be starved of those elements and be underdeveloped. Balance in everytthing.

    CRISPR is so promising. Would we need to understand the genetic basis for diseases like fibro, muscular dystrophy, etc first before being able to effectively cure/prevent them? As in, knowing how they’re written in the genome in the first place? Many genes, so much identifying 🤯

  82. Anthony Smith

    June 9, 2023 at 1:05 pm

    I did a report on CRISPR in college for an ecology class and how it could be used, along with eliminating or at the very least be used to design substantial treatment of human diseases, it can be used to do the same in wildlife diseases that unfortunately ravage different species. The specific examples I used is the facial tumor disease which is a cancer disease that affects Tasmanian Devils.

      June 11, 2023 at 2:22 pm

      @Nzomy the answer to whether CRISPR will be cheaper with time is contingent on capitalism. There has always been the idea that the easier something is to produce, both in cost and time, its price goes down. Unfortunately we know for a fact this is not true. There are thousands and thousands of products that have we have perfected making, reducing both cost and time to do so, and they actually cost more than they used to. Take cars for example. Almost the whole process is automated. The process of mining the materials is performed by essentially slave labor where little to no money is lost to pay for that labor. Yet, a knew car still runs you $30k when a new car 60 years ago in the 60s wasn’t even close to that. In fact, it was more than a factor of 10 less. $2600 was the average for a new car in 1960, and it’s $30k today. The only thing that determines whether or not something is cheaper is the capitalist themselves, if they are willing to sell something for cheaper or not. Since most only begin to sell something for cheaper when they are about to unveil something new they can sell for more, and there really isn’t any foreseen system beyond CRISPR that could be sold for more – my guess is the CRISPR system will remain the same in its cost.

    Saying “we’ve sequenced the human genome” is like saying “we’ve photographed the human face”. That was just one person. There are 8 billion other faces out there, and 8 billion other genomes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a remarkable achievement. I just find it annoying when we aren’t given the full picture. This causes confusion and distrust in science.

    i find it somehow related to the recent changes of AI! AI field should also have a consensus about what we can do and what we should not. Thanks for keeping the genetic engineering field ethic

    I don’t think anyone wants to know or should feel proud to be a descendant of Genghis Khan , If you do then I’m guessing you’re ignorant to the fact he raped 2000 women

    He said blue eyes mutation started in Europe. How did it start with the African tribe where every member has blue eyes

    • Bell Bottoms

      June 13, 2023 at 6:44 am

      Probably European colonization

    • Jela-tin my business

      June 15, 2023 at 2:54 am

      It’s also possible that the first blue eyes mutation happend in Europe and then another, independent mutation, happend in Africa.

    So the fact the cilantro tastes soapy to me, it’s because I have a certain gene? 🤔

    • B

      June 13, 2023 at 5:10 pm

      Yes, it is Indeed genetic! I can’t stand cilantro, and neither can my dad!

    The way this guy speaks just shows how intelligent he is. I’m baffled by his clear and elaborate answers.

    I’m one of those people of Asian descent that feel sick with alcohol ingestion. It is impossible for me to become an alcoholic because my body can’t get used to it.

    Worth noticing that he was so compelling and didactic during the AMA but at the very end. It would be interesting to know how exposed to and/or involved Dr. Neville’s been with DNA editing for human enhancement.

    Dude hitting on the ethics at the end! All new technological developments should pass the Ian Malcolm test: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnt stop to think if they should”. Just because you can, that doesnt mean you should.
