Absolutely, it's natural to approach new technologies, especially something as transformative as CRISPR, with caution. We've seen in history that advancements can be used for both positive and negative outcomes. However, progress in the field of science and technology is inevitable. As a society, our goal should be to foster open dialogue, robust ethical frameworks, and transparent regulations that ensure the responsible use of these technologies. Fearing potential misuse can inhibit beneficial innovations, but being vigilant and proactive in our approach can maximize the benefits while minimizing risks. As with any tool, it's not about the tool itself but how we choose to use it.

Classic case of the tail wagging the dog. Do we ever question to keep our unending consumption in check instead of modifying nature to produce more? Do we ever think about the downstream effects of these gene modifications on other aspects of nature? Instead of modifying the animal itself, why aren’t we asking the question of reducing use of these animals in the first place. Animals deserve that basic respect.

Dr Doudna is da best ❤!!!

A few comments: 1) Introducing a gene-modified organism into a cow's gut, whether of calf or adult, will only succeed if this organism is more fit in that environment that the competitors that will sooner or later also be present. If a more-fit competitor (for that environment) comes along, it will replace the "desired" strain as though it had never existed. 2) If the introduced organism IS more fit in a cow's gut than other competitors, it will inevitably spread through the herd, and into the wild. (It will be passed from cow to cow by natural means, whatever they are, just has gut flora have always been.) Is this something we really want? Gut-altered deer, buffalo, antelopes, ground hogs, grasshoppers, etc.? What would the ripple effects of this be?

Amazing!

I hoped she would talk not just about CRISPR's applications, but also about its advancements. I heard a couple of years ago, they still had problems with achieving 100% accuracy and it was also really expensive to edit large parts of genome. Therefore it was limited to tiny, precise changes rather than complete bioengineering, that would take a long time with current methods. Also if you can, I would love to hear about those 0.50$ DNA tests, where you just drop a sample into a playing card sized sheet of plastic and a large grid of genes starts coloring based upon the presence and absence of genes. It sounded like a ground breaking invention as you could test for presence of hundreds of genes in humans in very short time and at large scale, possibly allowing us to sequence everyone's genome for possible disease predispositions, intellectual potential as well as genetic strength and endurance of patient's muscles. Sadly I didn't hear about it in years.

There have been advancements in engineering CRISPR-Cas9 to be more specific. The best examples I can think of are nickases where they catalytically deactivate either the HNH or RucV endonuclease domain (each one cuts a single dna strand leading to coordinated double strand breakage) so that only a single cut is made. You can then dimerise this nickase cas9 and it increases the specificity through a longer reqired recongnition sequence, and any off target single strand breaks being much more readily repaired by the cell. There's also efforts looking into changing the PAM site requirements or base and prime editing where you add an effector deaminase which changes individual bases much more effectively. Prime editing is even cooler as you fuse a reverse transcriptase to Cas9 with a pegRNA (prime editing guide) which has the edited sequence of interest encoded on it for the reverse transcriptase to use. So there is lots of cool stuff going on, but I agree it would have been nice to find out more, as i've not kept fully upto date

I love how the essence of being human is no longer literally the essence of existence that is DNA, but problem solving 😂😂😂

Some are concerned with things going wrong but forget science has helped us in many ways. It helped create atomic energy that powers our homes. But it also ‘helped’ destroy two cities in WW2. It’s not about “what could go wrong?” But “what wrong doing will emerge from this?”

Livestock are often dosed with antibiotics to alter their microbiomes to induce weight gain. Unsurprisingly, we can also gain weight when our microbiomes are altered by consuming said residual antibiotics. Meta management of microbiomes for weight control seems safer than say, unnaturally stimulating digestive hormone secretions by currently popular drug regimes.

This doesn't even necessarily have to do with CRISPR, but there's actually been a lot of research done on how kids who grow up in more dirty environments or certain countries don't get diseases like ulcerative colitis, type 1 diabetes, or certain allergies. They think it's because their immune systems get more practice dealing with different things, so it's less likely to go haywire and attack things it's not supposed to, (i.e allergies.) I wonder if there will come a time when all babies and toddlers will receive a routine schedule of probiotic treatments at their pediatrician appointments, right along with their vaccines. Perhaps they'd put the bacteria in candy or drinks that they would give to the kids. And maybe CRISPR might be used to make some of these treatments or at least make them better.

That's just pure politics and would suggest technology will always be used for the worse, before maybe put to work for the best. So, a pretty sane response is to ask what can go wrong and then hamper those particular outcomes while facilitating better outcomes of using the technology. It's not like people did not ruin the world in the name of good before. As an alternative to hoping for the best, as well as advanced gene editing of ecological systems, there is also just sustainable stewardship. You can revitalize desserts by making swales and planting trees, and stopping herding or at least swap to mega-herds cycles. Etcetera.
