Published 2023-07-07
With its exploration into the rapidly evolving science of DNA editing, "The Genetic Revolution" records pivotal moments in science that are set to reshape our world. This must-watch documentary provides a deep dive into the philosophical and environmental discussions triggered by these DNA technologies.
These groundbreaking science technologies, such as CRISPR, have made editing the DNA of all living organisms, including humans, a more achievable task - almost as simple as editing words on a computer screen. The DNA manipulation explored in this science documentary holds vast potential: it could cure diseases, save endangered species, alleviate world hunger, and perhaps even perfect the human genome. But the compelling question that this science documentary poses is - will these potential promises of DNA editing technology be fulfilled?

The universe is vast, much like our imagination. In "space and astronomy", we show you various documentaries and highlights from outer space. No matter if stars or planets, meteoroids or black holes, relax and enjoy our content! :)

What should scare you is that this program only shows you what is in the open.

The thing I Love about these videos is that the comments just add to the conversation

Possible applications for a self-editing gene could include: 1. Self-repair of genetic damage in organisms. 2. Rapid genetic adaptation to environmental changes. 3. Enhanced resistance to diseases and adverse conditions. 4. Internal regulation of biological processes for organism survival. 5. Increased metabolic efficiency for resource acquisition. 6. Adaptive response to external stimuli to maximize biological fitness.

Wow frightening that this is allowed but when an herbalist, naturalist or nutritionist promotes natural healing they are often silenced

DNA is over-hyped. It's important for sure. But it's just the tip of the iceberg. The more interesting thing is how cells communicate and work together to form an organism. No one cell has all the information needed to form a liver or any other organ. But as a collective, they do. Cells communicate with one another through ions. Cells can even recruit other cells. There have been experiments done where gut cells of a frog were given a certain electrical signal through the cells ion channels and the gut cells set out to create a completely normal eye. This shows how incredibly flexible and adaptive cells are. Other experiments by the same group mutated a frog with an eye in the wrong spot. There was no genetic difference between the mutated frog and the normal one. DNA doesn't provide a blueprint. The collective intelligence of the cells provides the blueprint. This also has implications in cancer research. Cancer can be thought of as a result of cells disassociating with the collective cellular intelligence. Since they don't communicate with its neighbors cells, it goes and does its own thing that leads to mutations and cancers. Check out Michael Levins work on bioelectricity. It's a complete game changer.

Ultimately, the rich and powerful will abuse this against the masses

This puts a whole new definition to the upper and lower classes. Sick.

main problem is when you think anything right you forgot to notice you are also doing something wrong... example when you change the color of eye.. its not just the color its the reasons that color is chosen too is changed..or partially changed... which means complex alternations on evolutionary subsystem... which may be good or bad.. same for other changes..

How come WARS AND GENOCIDE DON’T HAVE DEBATES ON ETHICS??????

They speak of saving lives At the same time as scientist and world leaders are trying reduce our numbers.

The gene modified mosquito have been a great help for Malaria in Nairobi Kenya,I can 100% say there is no Malaria in Nairobi for years now unlike surrounding areas

When you realise any psycho can become a scientist, that the lab coat is not a symbol of trust, but a warning of a dangerous mind.

Years ago I befriended a man who is a Physicist. He was basically homeless. I introduced him to a awesome friend. My friend put him up for many years in his home. Well this Physicist after 40 years of reseach he received his PHD. HE ALSO HAS A MASTERS DEGREE IN PHILOSOPHY. HIS RESEARCH IS INVOLVED WITH DNA REGENERATION HE'S NOW INVOLED IN CANCER RESEACH NOW. SO VERY COOL!

It's kind of funny that the elderly people are the only ones directly speaking against this change. However, I think the possibly for accidently trapping a human brain into a pig is horrific.

It's always awesome to see George Church appearing and giving insight

Those dogs break my heart.😢

And here I am thinking my coding skill is great, these researchers are in different league all together.

All the sciences of information (and genetic edition like printing in 15th century or IA in 21th century are related to information) are subject to the tongues of Aesope ‘What could be better than the tongue?’ said Aesop. ‘It is the tongue that teaches and enlightens, the tongue that praises and entertains, it is the tongue that strikes bargains and makes promises.’ ‘How can you serve up tongue as the best possible meat one day, and then the worst meat the next?’ ‘What,’ replied Aesop, ‘can be worse than the tongue? What evil is it not involved in? Violence, injustice and fraud are all debated and resolved upon and communicated by the tongue. It is the ruin of empires, cities and friendships.’

DNA engineering, also known as genetic engineering or genetic modification, is the process of modifying an organism's DNA to achieve specific desired traits or characteristics. This can involve inserting, deleting, or modifying genes in order to create organisms with new functions or properties. DNA engineering has a wide range of applications in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology.

This is more scary than a horrific movie. I was told as a child that what really makes you human, or the child of your parents it's your DNA. Once yours is altered I don't think you are human even if you look like one.
