so this space to talk to me about why I chose it going to stop ever since I was young want to have a good purpose and to do that a good purpose is to relieve as much suffering in the world as I can and I found out the best way to do that would be by curing a wedding neon this could be a whole new opportunity however it's about the risks first potential benefits such as lack of embryo consent potential off-target effects ethical dilemmas and when Kingman life against technological risk and The Limited knowledge due to its infancy so these are the reasons why researchers and Engineers government and the public has commenced verbal or on the morality of this technology so I see that the fears being made on Sawgrass it but I think the creations of throw my sets in the pressure remain with him more so first I talk about where this topic is most relevant the current leader in my Gene editing is most prominent in China and the you can see this with how many papers are published each year and as of 2018 the US has published approximately 2976 papers 9 now focuses its term line Agricultural and Technical applications while USA is more actually into the medical applications open this goes into the locality of where it's going so and first locally in Georgia I think of that well first of all the people who should be concerned the most I think of the younger generation because their children are going to be affected by this when we already have which can't not be a good thing and would you like we modified the human Denny's if they going to advancements rather than just helping people medically causing giant employment because who knows if employers are only one people hire people who are genetically modified so on terms of international roughly half of 49% of adults say they are very or someone enthusiastic about the technology but their fears are heightened and they're particularly concerned beliefs and religion leading to a perception of uniting as a misuse of Technology appropriate basically if there's a line that shouldn't be crossed and internationally everyone agrees that this is where it is so now that we have an understanding of the local concerned the stakeholders I'm going to be going through the bottom of the gungeon years of researchers the government and the general call so generally for biomedical engineers and researchers to they're a lot more hopeful that no matter what even is a candy they think is long as we're very careful and use experienced people only 68 or innovate on Drumline Gene editing then if we can still continue they've also proposed ideas on how to come back to cutting paper with scissors as you would they've got this new technology called me and they're trying to make it more precise however it takes more time and more money to actually make the edit there's a much lower chance of actually having all target effects Open the Eyes of governments I took six governments perspectives Canada to United States is real United Kingdom so everyone's pretty against for my most anything to happen and the only one that allows reproduction they actually law infants to be born who has currently right now before it has to be terminated if it's B the government are the most careful with their restrictions because they have the final say and they yeah they have the van and of course when something like this it's not a really as simple as good or bad or white and black something wrong but it's powerful you seen as a power and it just depends on Whose hand has it that is in China and cook I was very young to see if that's illegal but you did it anyway an accident resulting in only half of the little girls cells a lot more time all right so the final perspective we're going to be looking at it's just the general public once again people are very excited for what the technology can have but more than often especially people who are religious and have it's because she like Christians believe that we are made in God's image and nothing should infringe upon they have the right to choose our own creation or the fact that Evolution work by nature and by doing this we take our own control over so who's to say that our decision is better than eight years of stuff what if it would result in something worse or something we have no black sides of this so concerned but the thing about the public is that they had the least amount of knowledge about their mind Gene editing then then I can buy medicine in the researchers they're actually in the lab however the government's do have a friend on her standing there so of course there's democracy but they do have the least amount of information but they're mostly Brown and personal beliefs and they remain a crucial aspect of the ongoing discourse around in the future so now that all of these have been explored I want to talk about the Colts one of the patients so as I was talking about before with the social divide turn my Gmail to get some restriction and he'll down to go outside of just medical balance and actually goes to advancements in human bodies increase someone and they can definitely take over certain places and employment that way they'll be physical labor or through this your knowledge and how would that exactly Fair between those who can afford and those who can't because this is not be a cheap thing to have and a lot of people especially the young Republican very afraid of that afraid of the inequality that would come on the children because just don't have the money last week and legend of course this is one of the biggest things with General opinion isn't anyone majority of Highly highly religious adult CG netting to reduce a baby's risk of developing the disease as meddling with nature with only 21% of Christians approving compared with 47% with installation and the impact of these diverse students become so it definitely 72% of those deeply committed to their face believe you're 19 editing trespasses the balance of Nature and concerns about Crossing line we should not cross so it's pretty cut and dry with Christians or with people who are just very found in their traditions and beliefs this is something we should not be tampering with something that is just put it in a way that Humanity has tainted freedom and evolution has no bias it doesn't have a consciousness of her mind it just acts as it's supposed to induce does what it does but we can have Bill will infused into what we create who knows that this wouldn't be completely horrible idea in a way that were made the way we are it's just a a safe car your own future so all in all I basically take from the bondic engineer's that I don't Drumline Gene editing should be discontinued or start or it's not worth investigating I think everything is worth at least looking at but I think it should be just extremely streamlined in with only the people got the experience actually working on the real thing and from the government I think they should have a right to be fearful of his power and who gets it especially the foreign powers that are not the United States from the public who knows everyone's respect the traditions and religious beliefs and instead of trying to find which one matters more between each group of people I'm trying to find the best convergence prettiest person to find the best possible outcome so I'm trying to keep a well-rounded mindset and I generally do believe I can build a future as long as I can and as long as I'm always conscious of what I'm doing when I'm working on this in my future I think it'll be okay
