Most illnesses are due to genetic disorders. Even our response to infectious diseases as the flu depends merely on our genetic make up. That’s why the response to Covid was so different. I never suffered flu symptoms during Covid as others -even very young people- died.
In many cases there is a clear recognizable pattern as many DNA anomalies are of heritable origin. That’s why artificial genetic repair through gene- editing can prevent illnesses and bring the cost of healthcare down. Most important, gene- editing can give people a better and healthier life.
Problem is that legal boundaries based on illogic emotions hinder prenatal screening and editing. As a result, gene- editing technology is currently used for postnatal treatments only but remains banned in many countries.
What’s against it to repair faulty DNA, and create healthier and in the long run smarter humans? We can do it!
Self improvement is not against Gods will, its part of God’s plan in the on going evolutionary development of mankind.
The holy Bible says: “In the last days the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord”
Some scientists not only have the guts but now also the financial power to overrule the stupidiness of politicians that want to ban these techniques. Whether you like it or not “designer babies” are within reach.
Nobody can deny that medical science so far is a failure. Compare it with other sciences like physics or IT/ chip technology, the medical field shows only slow progress.
Doctors send patients into the woods with costly unsatisfactory treatments. Even in this high tech world medical doctors don’t have to offer much more than suppressing symptoms without curing the cause. In many cases patient care is only beneficial to the pharmaceutical industry.
Health care providers still live in the middle ages practicing medieval methods like surgery and destructive radiation to cure cancer. Isn’t it better to correct faulty DNA and prevent?
It’s about time for real improvements. Thanks to genetics we can wipe out heart diseases, cancer and many other costly illnesses.
The key to a healthier and better life lies in our genes.
Also external influences as bad habits become less damaging when we modify and improve our immune system.
Real designer babies based on an embryo or fetus whose genetic makeup has been intentionally selected or altered are now round the corner.
Since a couple of years, also in our laboratory, we can exclude or remove genes associated with a certain disease. So far we didn’t do it because it is against the law. We only select embryo’s with undamaged DNA.
But we live in a fast changing world. Be ready for an explosive next step as gene- editing will jump straight forward with the help of AI and no one can stop it.
To speed up the process, US biotech startup “Preventive”, backed by Sam Altman and Brian Armstrong, is pursuing embryo editing to produce newborn children free of hereditary illness. Preventive is clear about it. Its goal is to end hereditary diseases by editing human embryos before birth.
Funded with $ 30 million Preventive began working on an embryo editing project that will lead to the birth of genetically engineered babies. These children will be free of hereditary illnesses and later on probably with higher intelligence.
A fierce debate over ethics, safety, and the specter of designer children is on the horizon.
Even in America, this project is controversial and at the moment prohibited. Therefore Preventive has been seeking locations where embryo editing is legal to conduct its research.
Believe me, nobody can stop it.
