I found the following lines very important: -Regardless of how immediately revolutionary or still-science-fictional the various life-control technologies we covered in this episode are, they have one thing in common: Rich people will get them way before poor people. And old technologies won't go away due to new ones. Science, in the sense of set of methods for understanding the natural world. doesn't tell us which technologies we should deploy, when or when. This is the real of ethics. - Ethics should be observed by the disciples of science or by the followers of science.

One movement I've been keeping my eye on is rejuvenation biotechnology. I recommend watching some of Aubrey de Grey's talk on his take of combating aging as he defines aging as the accumulation of damage over the course of one's life. He classified this damages into 7 broad collections, and he is using a divide and conquer approach to tackle them. Things seem to be going well enough that he foresees -Robust Mouse Rejuvenation- 3-5 years away - which has the importance of convincing more experts about the feasbility of countering aging using a rejuvenative approach.

Strange definition of Omics, Hank. Omics is a term to not describe the study of small things as you implied, but to study the state of all these small things at once. Genetics studies genes, genomics studies all the genes and all the DNA in a cell/organism. Molecular genetics studies how transcripts are made but transcriptomics studies all the transcripts at once.
Citation: I work in a genomics lab and have in-depth experience performing both molecular genetic and transcriptomic studies.

It might help you to think more seriously about social and political problems, but meanwhile it would surely help your videos to stop mixing so many unexamined conventional wisdom about them in with your expositions of science. The latter parts of your expositions have the merit of being sound and solid. It is a pity that you compromise them with poorly thought through political prejudices.

hey guys! i'm going to college next september and i want to study biotechnology! but unfortunately, my extended family think it's a risky field of study and that there isn't job security with it. (they want me to study medicine)
how do i convince them that biotech is a field that is worth studying? any tips or things i could say to them?

I'm a bit sad that this segment makes it seem like gene therapy is an American thing, whereas the only actual treatments that are available and work are the result of French and Italian efforts. Because it's so very hard and having secure employment allowed scientists notably at the San Rafaele in Milan to actually make it work.

Just watch Gundam. That whole idea of designer people caused a civil war and created a definite new species of man.
Also look to fantasy of the elves, living forever has its draw backs either you die from depression and sad existence as you literally are just there. And there's the eldar, they created a God that ate them

-Mr.
It's an interesting take you have at 11: 35
When new TV's or new phones come out, that's also exclusively for wealthier before the poorer. Everything is a resource, and wealthier get first bite at it. That's nothing new ever in history of humanity. It's a bit odd you're painting that as such a negative thing.

It was 7 am when I woke up here in Belgium. Searched for Biomedicine on YT. Landed on Crash Course. Watched #34 (Biomedicine, #40 (Biotechnology, #41 (Bodies & Dollars) and this one #44 (Life and Longevity. What an excellent Sunday morning to start off with! Now time for a run to process all the info: D
