@danv2207
yes and no
I agree with the mind set problem.
Theres alot of good (with the right mind set & scientists) that could be done with genes. Like treating genetic caused cancers and genetic inherited diseases like sickle cell etc. ?

Mutant animals,? humans – techno can be used for good or bad. Issue it is HERE, so how do YOU think it should be used? Your comments here will be read by thousands of people. Looking forward to continuing this vitally important debate. One thing is certain – science like this should NOT proceed in a moral vaccuum.

Another issue are the scientists involved in this. Like danv2207 said, “with the mind set we have today” it is very difficult to determine who to trust. The comment by siders143 on your channel “who controls past controls the present controls the future, honest people required?” is a very truthful statement. People get greedy and will do things for themselves. To get the “right” scientists working on? this wont a genetic profile be essential?

Most of the world isn’t ready for this kind of thing,? it is such a controversial issue. As you described in your video, people profiling using genes can very good as well as a bad thing. I think it has more pros because then jobs around the world could “select” people to do the job well and efficiently with very little problems. That pro though is a con in itself. Just the thought of being selected, being individualized scares people.

messing with genes is wrong in every way, especially with the mind set? we have today.

lol!?

Yes interesting? points.

it is controversial. becos the science is in the hands of dangerous and reckless people as well as other more altruistic hands perhaps. altruistic people dont seem to get funding tho ! thats the controversial bit for? me.
free energy generation for example is real, but doesnt get funded. immaculate science can be great but if the driver of the funding is an insane peoples its precarious !

Genetics – gene tests – these things can be very controversial – what do you think about all of? this??
