You’re Not Ready for What DNA Editing Will Do Next

Human DNA editing is finally here. Check out the new WHOOP here! https://join.whoop.com/cleo There is a microscopic technology that now gives us the power to edit our own genes while we’re alive. To cure certain diseases, possibly prevent others, or boost what our bodies can do… or maybe, one day give our kids abilities no one has ever had before… effectively putting evolution into our hands. This is not some sci-fi future! We’re already using this technology in real medical treatments in plants to grow new crops and in animals to create new species! Just yesterday, news broke that a baby’s life was saved using personalized gene editing that fixed one tiny error in its DNA. This is truly “huge if true.” Deciding how we use this new superpower may be the biggest challenge we have ever faced - and the biggest opportunity to reduce human suffering. This tool is called CRISPR. Dr. Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize for discovering it. So, in this third episode of Huge Conversations, Dr. Doudna and I use specific examples to help you see how gene editing directly affects your life right now - and help you decide for yourself: How should we use it? When is it wrong - and when is it wrong NOT to? If you want to know what the most important people building the future are imagining it will look like, Huge Conversations is the show for you.
