16 Apr Genetic Engineering Will Change Everything Forever – CRISPR
Designer babies, the end of diseases, genetically modified humans that never age. Outrageous things that used to be science fiction are suddenly becoming reality. The only thing we know for sure is that things will change irreversibly.

Posted at 18:24h, 16 AprilImagin not mentioning using this technology to standardize genatic heritage. Aka elemanating undesired races like black, Hispanic, Chinese, Indian, middle eastern, Jewish, ECT.

Posted at 18:24h, 16 AprilWell I think the anti-aging part and the Disabling Medical problems is great, because i don't want one day to lose my parents from an aging or from a health issue

False Feathers
Posted at 18:24h, 16 AprilOf course we’re going to have engineered kids and it’ll be normal. Sure, it’ll be something where the people with money will have the most advantage, but them’s the breaks. Better to make humans that are capable of more than less. Just like the video states, that’s why we terminate pregnancies that have Down’s.
