In this program geneticists and bioethicists take you on a journey deep inside your DNA, as we discuss the promise and peril of interfering with the code therein. PARTICIPANTS: Fred Gould, Josephine Johnston, Neville Sanjana, Sam Sternberg MODERATOR: Lesley Stahl MORE INFO ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND PARTICIPANTS This program is part of the “Big, the Small, and the Complex,” series sponsored by The Kavli Foundation and The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The Kavli Prize recognizes scientists for their seminal advances in astrophysics, nanoscience, and neuroscience. - SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel and \"ring the bell\" for all the latest videos from WSF - VISIT our Website - LIKE us on Facebook - FOLLOW us on Twitter TOPICS: 0:04 - Opening film 2:14 - Panelist intros 3:54 - Medical applications for CRISPR 5:55 - CRISPR’s potential in plants and animals 7:00 - Bringing back extinct animals 8:24 - Negative aspects of using CRISPR 9:31 - Manipulating genes and evolution before CRISPR 14:23 - Tinkering and modifying as a part of human nature 15:51 - Tools of genetic engineering before CRISPR 18:03 - Inspiration from nature in bioengineering 19:13 - Have any GMO fears been realized? 21:42 - Intro to CRISPR film 23:41 - Explanation of CAS9 27:37 - What is so revolutionary about CRISPR? 34:08 - Benefits of CRISPR for treating non-heritable diseases 36:47 - How will we administer CRISPR-altered medicines to patients? 39:37 - CRISPR as open-source technology 42:23 - Regulating CRISPR use in humans PROGRAM CREDITS: - Produced by Justin Weinstein - Opening animation by Josh Kurz and Chris Metzler of Tilapia Film - Music provided by APM - Additional images and footage provided by: Getty Images, Shutterstock, Videoblocks This program was recorded live at the 2018 World Science Festival and has been edited and condensed for YouTube.\n
