Walter did an excellent job asking relevant and thought-provoking questions, and Ms. Doudna was articulate and informative in her answers. As someone who another form of muscles dystrophy, i anxiously await further developments to make these solutions ubiquitous.

Wow - what an amazing woman. The interviewer had great questions too.
-
I have been following Doudna for years !! I am so excited about her biography and the implementation of her monumental work!
-
It’s incredible and also too new to know the longterm effects for some time. I hope it saves lives and improves lives. ❤❤❤

This is a wonderful interview. It should maybe, win an award and be viewed by students, for it is packed with info. on a variety of subjects in medicine and gives the average learner a lot of general knowledge!
-
Fascinating, thanks all involved in the presentation and ongoing work in research, and especially to see that the research is used to be of service for those in need, and protects the public from misuse.
-
Even as a retired educator, I am in such reverential awe of super-intelligent people. Just Fascinating developments!
-
Increíble y fascinante , que más vendrá en el futuro que Jehová Dios nos ayude a entender esta ciencia .😊

Thank you for stating the obvious about "Gene-Modified Organisms": that all the food that we eat is already Gene-Modified via traditional Breeding Programs.

I wouldn't mind signing up

meanwhile, our health care stinks.
-
Fascinating and a wonderful resource for my biology students.
-
The action of Mechanically modifying genes is not the same as choosing a breed for its characteristics.

I'm very interested with CRISPR - Cas9 system in plant. It is very great technique to be able to make a plant as you could consider. Now it is usual method to make great plants. Many researcher compete to make a new plant. I would like to see this compete condition. It is great...🐶🐕

God bless you Dr. Doudna. R255X

Regardless of the handwringing, this will be used to edit any part of the human genome and will be a major part of our evolution as a species. It likely will be part of abolishing aging when telomere restoration becomes common. This will be used for germline improvement. You can’t stop it, so get used to the idea.

Excellent discussion. Such a wonderful new tool with positive potential. However, she's right to be careful. Curing disease is a noble endeavor, but there are those who are of significant lack of character who would misuse CRISPR. How do we draw appropriate lines to regulate this wisely? Glad the Chinese are working well with her. A vaccine for Alzheimers ...?

Polycythemia vera treatment?

For optimum health, I recommend that everyone should take an FDA approved broad spectrum food additives supplement. They work best when taken with Mountain Dew.
