Definitely disease control/curing diseases/harvesting organs. We could also edit the genes of babies before they are born to knock out genetic diseases and lessen the potential suffering. I see no moral issue with this whatsoever; in fact, it would be immoral not to do it if you’re able to.

The other thing would be stem cell research – maybe, just like the salamander, we’ll be able to regrow amputated limbs (or amputate faulty limbs and regrow normal ones). I see no limitation in principle in doing this; it’s just very hard to understand how to do it, but in principle it should be possible, just like for the salamander.

many applications but shouldd focus on diseases first _ the multiple gene interactions are going to make it very difficult to identify the various genes for editing

Work on eliminating diseases and disorders. As a newly diagnosed Autistic person I would have liked to have been given a chance before birth to correct some behaviors/characteristics.

Genes for medications of living origin in microorganisms to live in the gut for chronic conditions.

With CRISPER CAS9 i would decode coronavirus. Find its vulnerabilities, then kill it.

Killing Coronavirus would end its plague.

Applications of CRISPER i find scary are to make it in Wuhan in the first place.

What would you do with CRISPR gene editing technology? Why would this be a priority? What applications of CRISPR seem most exciting/scary/excessive to you?
With CRISPR gene editing technology I would explore the areas of food technology (Eg: creating foods that do not attract insects at all), organ harvesting, edit genes in humans to cure even trivial conditions like lactose intolerance or edit genes to rid them of allergies. This would be a priority as (a) in the food industry, it would be a revelation since it would increase the shelf life of foods (b) in case of humans, it is one way of ensuring that future generations wouldn’t be susceptible to conditions like lactose intolerance and allergies (in case they are hereditary).
The application of CRISPR that seems exciting, scary as well as excessive is de-extinction of dinosaurs. Although, as mentioned in the video that it is not possible (in case of dinosaurs), it still seems like an exciting area to explore. One application that seems exciting and promising is regrowing of amputated limbs. It would be very beneficial for the human race.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is incredible to think the de-extinction of dinosaurs has already been thought about by the movie Jurrasic Park, from the Jurrasic era.

When we look to explore moons and planets with animal friends, we see the large disc space probe Meant for the Ganymede orbit.

What if dinosaurs able to withstand deep ocean pressures could cohabit ocean moon/planets of Jupiter.

If Jupiter acts as a small planetary system, can we use dinosaur scouts even upon Mars? Can the better handle a methane environment?

Create foods that can be produced in a large amount. Produce meat without animals. More people want meat, yet meat production uses many resources.

great

I would hopefully edit the Sickle cell genome and remove it because looking at the cases of sickle cell anemia can be frightening and imagining the pain the person goes through is saddening. I’m worried that with genetic editing in the future parents will genetically modify their babies to be designer babies and model babies instead of letting genetic variation naturally occur.

With CRISPR gene editing technology, I would prioritize advancing treatments for genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, to alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for affected individuals. This focus is crucial because it has the potential to correct mutations at their source, offering a more definitive solution than current treatments. Exciting applications include personalized medicine and agriculture, where CRISPR could enhance crop resilience and nutritional value. However, the technology also raises ethical concerns, such as the potential for unintended genetic consequences or its use in human enhancement, which could lead to societal inequality or ecological impacts if not carefully regulated.
