Скачать или смотреть Full Frame: Genetic Engineering with Jamie Metzl

The mystery of life is now revealed in our genetic code, revolutionizing how we tackle disease, aging and reproduction. Genetic engineering has been crucial in developing vaccines, including for HPV, Ebola and, now, Covid-19. 

Diseases will eventually be "edited out" of humans, said Jamie Metzl, technology futurist and author of Hacking Darwin.  "We had lots of diseases that our ancestors suffered from that we don't suffer from now."

Metzl sits on the World Health Organization's expert advisory committee on genome editing, which is developing global standards that currently don't exist.

"It's not just about the science. This is just about what it means to be a human," Metzl said.
