Juan Enriquez at TEDxCERN (transcript)
The age of genetic wonder
Summary
I overlooked the word "unless" in the article. I thought that it's strange that people never want to redesign humans. It continues the word "unless" and the age of using it is coming here soon. Nobody's going to live beyond 120, 130, 140 years unless if we fix something that is the level of genetic sequences. It means that we can live over 120, 130, 140 years if we fix it and our some body parts are already rebuild to live longer before.
The speaker tells us that redesigning humans and affecting the environment in an extreme way have to be more debated and it's long-term trends, though, it must happen soon.
The short-term trends are that we're going to see a new industrial revolution, we would need to have new thoughts like combining biology and physics, it seems to be called theological biology, and those happening will be coming to the consumers who are us. Whether the next new age that's genetic editing generation is better or not depends on us.
