I assume that you have watched that video. what do you think? are you curios about CRISPR? or you already get severe head damage? for me I had all of that. once I watched those video, it's like I have struck with thunder. and then I search her original paper, I read it. I searched another paper that related to CRISPR technology, I also read it. The more I read the more I get dizzy. I barely understand how they can apply that technology in organisms and modify its DNA.
Modifying DNA becomes reality, wow that is something big. I imagine that now people can freely modify DNA, super human technology is coming dude. CRISPR technology is like a knife, in good person it will help a lot of people. I graduated from faculty of agriculture, i thought that maybe it is good to use CRISPR technology to modify plant genome, create a good variety crops that highly resistant to pest and plant disease.
In other hand, this technology can also lead us to the doomsday. it's like a shortcut, super human. mutant and weird creature made by a crazy scientist? come on dude, i am not ready for that. I agree with Jennifer that we should halt to use this technology before we can really sure it's safety.
That is one of my favorite video from TED, I will share about TED video again in the future. well see you later, my dearest reader.
