Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
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.

Could you do a video on HIV/ Aids?
For this to work you need to depopulate the world it's already overcrowded as it is.
I wouldn’t want to live forever because everyone who’s a dick hole would still be alive
instead of creating …"designer babies" i would rather create a whole other human dna abridged species with alien yet anthropomorphic features to set out onto another planet for early ages colonization and showing them basics to live so that the last generation of our kind may not suffer but be safely planted on a planet that will be our successor and safe from harm…
no
I wish this was availble in the mass market now. The transition would be rocky but imagine a world for our future families a world with no disease no illness and we would be able to live longer think about time and how much more we would be able to achieve tech wise and food and well every thing
Adventure duck ?
Say good bye to condoms since you cant catch anything.
convince Elon musk or something
POKEMON?????
Pharmacy hearing CRISP curing cancer: woah stop right there I dont want to lose my job
the absolute mad lad
Very interested can't wait to see what comes of this
the future is fuckin scary
Poor cancer, all it wanted to do was to live
But wait, if we remove every single disease, would we lose our immune system, because since we might not be exposed to any disease for, say, 10 years, in year 11, one person immediately pass away because the person has a either weak or no immune system at all and they got a disease? I'm just wondering if we will lose one of our critical systems in the future.
Robot is I’ll kill us before that ?♂️
I wish it was here :/ maybe then I go get rid of my adhd ?
I hate adhd meds so so much. Want to be able to gain 10 pounds. And not lose it within 10 days
well the way we try to cover up DNA issues with vaccines atm this might be the only way to save the human species
At 6:58 “i don’t want an injection. IT’S JUST A CANCER “ XD
"But as soon as the first engineered kid is born…"
Well, have you heard about the baby who was born with inmunity to HIV
only the rich will be able to modified their children making the people even more separated…
Can you create a video for Epigenetics. thanks
If we edit genes then einstein will never be born. A super intelligent sort of humo-robot will be born. There would be no place of Luck and Miracle. Just a breed of humans leaning on science until the universe die. That looks terrible right then why not make ourselves learn about nature and God who born edited humans and robots.
China will finally end small dick slur.
Gundam seed intensifies
Ever played Halo? This is the start to creating the real life Master Chief
I feel like this could cure cancer quick, but they can't lose the biggest money making machine in history
We have come to a point in civilization where human kind has completely disregarded natural selection, we will need this technology to survive from the dna that shouldn't of made it
Not much use being genetically modified if there's no climate. You can't CRISPR away droughts, storms and 12 years left.
