I disagree, I think this ninth grader did a great job explaining a complex topic and making it simple and to the point. I was very impressed by this vid and would like to show it to my classmates in my Food systems course at CSUSM.
This video clip has discussed the process vividly. I hope to have more videos like this. Continue doing educational video clip. It has helped me a lot. Thanks for this!
It is unbelievable how intelligent people manipulate the truth and convince children to promote this lunacy. It all sounds so simple and easy to insert a gene characteristic into another organism. This is NOT natural and this video has left out some very important aspects to this terrible technology. "if it sounds too good to be true, it must be" and in the case of genetic engineering, it is disastrous.
Let's give our kids the truth. Get the book: "Seeds of deception" by Jeffrey Smith
Yer, you try saying that to the people who are living hard lives with genetic defficiencies like the ability to produce insulin... this technology helps people live with diabetes.... your selfish to even argue against an unfortunate person to their right to life
@slamordie: You sir do not understand what genetic engineering is obviously from your reply. The number of people with genetic deficiencies of insulin production is incredibly small and for those people insulin pumps, injections, etc. work just fine. Type 2 diabetes can and is being CURED within 30 days at the present time and has nothing to do with genetic engineering. The medical profession has made type 2 diabetes a complete disaster with trying to manage blood sugar with drugs. pitiful
You need to read the two books "Genetic Roulette" and "Seeds of Deception" before making comments like GMO's are improving our lives. I have personally created a garden that is producing 400 tomatoes on one plant, with BRIX numbers exceeding 12. No genetically modified plant can do that! I used special energetics, sea based fertilizers, and organic grass fed horse & cow manure. NO BUGS came and the flavors were incredible. You cannot do that with genetic engineering.
ANY synthetic insulin put into humans will damage the body in some ways. Yes, it will give you the effect because the body needs it, but it also damages the DNA of the cells. The energetic quality of synthetic chemicals has no positive cellular resonance and the body looks at it as toxic. This is true for synthetic vitamins and food you pull out of the ground. Chemically fertilized food tests very weak and only food grown on fertile, living soil tests nutritive w/ no DNA damage occuring.
@slamordie The medical profession has made type 2 diabetes a complete disaster with trying to manage blood sugar with drugs for the life of that patient. That Sir, is ABUSE and bordering on criminal by drug companies. 180,000 farmers in India committed suicide due to crop failures of GMO cotton, people are dying, getting diseases unnamed, allergies have skyrocketed, and super bugs are now killing Monsanto GMO soybeans and they are asking permission to use chemicals in AGENT ORANGE now.pitiful
@bebig101 So do you suggest we obtain insulin the way we used to? by crushing up the pancreas of thousand of cows etc? As I am studying genetics as a degree I know that the potential for genetic engineering far outways the cons. And for those farmers, there problem as arisen from the greed of the countries they live in, these GM crops need to be maintained as they have caused an incredible amount of economic value to the countries that grow them. In South America for example if they'd not been
@slamordie so greedy as to wipe out the diversity of their crops.. they have done so and that is the reason for their problems now.. no GM crops, their own greed. And the only reason "superbugs" are around is for the same reason, human greed.... and most of what people consider superbugs would have caused problems whether GM existed or not.. things evolve no matter what influence we put in.. Genetic Modification will save more lives than it will lose
Dont get me wrong, I know how Genetic engineering has damged some communities but it has aided much more than it has not. Human greed and inexperience and in small cases "trial and error" has caused the problems, it's life saving technology as well as life creating technology, I think you'd have to be rather narrow minded to rule out such an incredible science. If you happened to have a liver which couldnt produce a certain enzyme which you needed to live, would you rather go out on
on a limb hoping that someone has died and donated a liver which your body may reject... or would you like to know that there is a science out there that can take one of your cells and insert a gene that codes for the production of this enzyme, and grow a liver... one that your body wont reject because it's your own liver?
Too oversimplified. There is not a single "gene for height". Probably hundreds of genes + the environment have an influence on how tall a person becomes.
Wow.... you are such a sweetheart thanks for posting this VD it help me a lots to understand this because it is my first time in Biology I ;m very confuse I hope that you post more helpful videos.
@GAkeloGA12 Gene therapy IS genetic engineering, this is all genetic engineering. Genetic engineering feeds billions worldwide, treats numerous diseases like diabetes, and has the potential to eliminate all diseases. Everything you see in the produce section of safeway or giant except for squash and papaya have had some genetic engineering done to improve their resilience and food yield.
Are dogs not the result of centuries of intentional genetic manipulation of wolves?
@Jarrodmontelius To grow something to be a certain way through forced evolution is exactly what genetic engineering is. Oh, and Viruses aren't living things, they are kind of like transposons, sections of DNA that copy themselves into other parts of a cell's DNA, except that viruses can go between cells and be integrated into that cells DNA. it is possible for a virus's DNA in a cell's genome to lose parts that are required for it to function and later mutations in the cell reactivate the virus.
@hoyt596 your an idiot, forced evolution is not genetic engineering, and for the third time I KNOW VIRUSES ARE NOT CONSIDERED LIVING BEINGS, I DISAGREE.
@Jarrodmontelius Not all forced evolution is genetic engineering, but genetic engineering is forced evolution, just as not all animals are cats, but all cats are animals. Do you deny that the purpose of genetic engineering is to grow something to be a certain way also?
@Jarrodmontelius (i accidentally just thumbed you up instead of down) I just told you why they are not living things. They are just errant DNA molecules that have arisen many times from mutating cellular DNA, they are not descended from a common ancestor as all cellular life is, they are the result of a particular mutation in a living cell's DNA that causes the cell to make more and more identical DNA segments, Transposons are similar to viruses but can't spread (like a virus), are they alive?
@Jarrodmontelius On the virus subject, consider this- if a cell loses the part of its DNA that prevents it from multiplying out of control, is the resulting cancer a separate living being from the human it came from? How about when it's cut off? Viruses are just DNA fragments that instruct cells to make copies of it. Like cancer, viruses can start from one mutation in one cell of any one person and spread endlessly, as they spread, variations that spread faster become common, and so they evolve.
@hoyt596 genetic engineering is inserting genes, not picking genes and selectivly breeding. and viruses reproduce so each strain does come from a common ansestor
@hoyt596 each cell is living so if you were to seperate it and keep it alive yes, but they need us to survive, just because somthing is formed from somthing else it is not alive? then nothing would be considered living, your just arguing now
@Jarrodmontelius You read everything as though someone stupid wrote it, then I have to break it down for you and then you just keep on doing it. This started because of your crap about viruses being "living beings", not if something is alive. I assumed you knew that a "living being" is a philosophical term, not a scientific one. A being has both a living part and a metaphysical part. For example, a computer program isnt a digital being, nor is a computer virus, but an artificial intelligence is.
@Jarrodmontelius The cancer thing was me trying to make you understand that even if a cancer cell has 99.9% identical DNA as you, that does not make it a living human being. So DNA does not by itself make a virus a living being, just a self replicating material that evolves as all self replicating things do. Also, if a virus emerges from a cell due to mutations in the cell that are not the result of another virus, those viruses automatically do not share a common ancestor, it's the first.
@hoyt596 The fact that some viruses that infect humans share structural features with viruses that infect bacteria could mean that all of these viruses have a common origin, dating back several billion years.
@Jarrodmontelius it could mean that those viruses in particular (are you talking about bacteriophages?) have a lineage going back millions of years, but does it go back billions of years like ours? no.
@Jarrodmontelius AGAIN you twist words, I said that SOME viruses of a certain type MIGHT share a common ancestor that as you said could be traced SEVERAL million years, that does not mean that they share a common ancestor with life, just that a self replicating material can self replicate. In order for it to share a common ancestor with life it would need to be at least several billion years old. You can't expect to win an argument with me by misrepresenting my words, not when its recorded.
You say they may not share a common ancestor even though they are all so similar. That would be an amazing coincidence. And now even if they do it has to be as old as us to be considered a living being?
@Jarrodmontelius You don't even read what I write, do you? You have got to be an idiot for coming up with these responses or a genius who can emulate an idiot with extreme accuracy. Try READING my responses BEFORE writing your own.
Great video! Yes people out there who think that she has made this up, this is how they Make insulin for diabetics. So yes we are already using genetically modified organisms. If this this was at my school I'd give her a A++++
@wildboy789789 They will never give people a cure for Ageing as it will cause overpopulation and they will never give things like this as it does not benefit them much unless you are some megastar or some high powered elite or something.
@gilkwad why cant the modified DNA be put into the human that needs it?... why does the doctor have to turn it into a pill and sell it?... does it only work with bacteria?
@wildboy789789 because pills only send chemicals to your bloodstream and modifying each individual cell's genome is a task that our current scientific tools cannot accomplish. Also Bacteria naturally have plasmids outside their normal bacterial chromosome, humans and eukaryotic cells don't have plasmids :)
@swiftedg oh... i cant wait till they can just pop a gene in you, and you see results in a month lol... doctor, "your no longer blind or bald"... "now your 7 inches erect"... "now you can jump 2 storys in the air"... "now your skin is bulletproof"... "now you have the mental processing speed of the latest computer"... im totally gonna be a cyborg in the future lol... genetic engineering is the BOMB
@wildboy789789 lol yes that does sound pretty bomb at first :D But so much potential to misuse that power, means more regulations and control by the fat cats. I do some genetic experiments with transgenic mice, we're at the point where we might know how sudden infantile death syndrome occurs. Also, genes are only half the story-its the type of environment (and the decisions surrounding it) that you create for yourself that allows the potential for your genes to express the best version of you.
@swiftedg yeah, but whats science without the risk? we should develop it before the wrong hands start developing it first... the immediate benefit is the cure to many uncureable genetic diseases... my mom has a deterierateing joint disease
@wildboy789789 Hah we may be the wrong hands though :) Osteoartheritis is not completely a condition thats based on age, although the chances increase as you grow older. Actually solving these medical questions rather then answering the aging question is much easier and cures are appearing every year that relate to aging- but aging isn't a 'condition' everything eventually goes from highly ordered to less ordered (i.e. we eventually die). Can you imagine multiplying your family by 10?
@swiftedg we might die... but we dont have to age... ageing is a disease that leads to death... growth is nessisary... ageing and withering is optional... death can occour at anytime even without ageing... if people didnt age we would expand our empire into space and have a knowledge boom like never before in our history... imagine if george washington could tell you about the war in person
@wildboy789789 natural death and aging is completely related- you die because of organ failure due to more cells dying then reproducing- this is not a disease for sure. If you don't age, then you don't die... and dying is unstoppable. Since when do we have an empire? We don't need more quantity but quality- imagine if all the smart people decided to reproduce less and the less smart people reproduce more... wait that already exists, don't encourage it further- life is a cycle for a reason
@swiftedg well i dont want to age... r u gonna protest the research?... i enjoy life, and i want to be with the ones i love for as long as possible, even if i wont remember them in my next life
@wildboy789789 Ah the crux of your point :) I probably wouldn't protest, although there are so many supposedly insurmountable barriers to reverse aging (genetic fragility, autoimmune failure, telomeres, etc.)- however if you think about the progress of humanity we've essentially tripled our life span so I am sure that the pattern will continue. I love life and I love every moment of it, but everything we know is impermanent, it's better to accept and live with that fact then resist it for me.
@swiftedg do you want people in the usa and europe to develope immortality thru DNA engineering... or should we wait till north korea does it?... those are your only 2 options... age is a cause of death, therefor it is an illness... people will still die all the time, we just wont die from ageing... you conservatives will fight us for years on this, but sooner or later youll give yourself a heartattack :)... when you cling to the past your always angry
@wildboy789789 You couldn't be further from the truth and why judge me a conservative from a one liner? People already on average grow to a very ripe healthy age and the longer we grow the more social security (a problem in itself) and medical costs will start send the cost of living through the roof. Not to mention the implication on overpopulation and limited resources. Well anyway, hope you weren't really serious :)
@swiftedg i hope your not serious... think outside the box, why would we need social security if we live till the age of 900? you can just build up money to live off of over time as you age... im very serious when i ask this, even tho YOU want to die after 100 years why do you feel like EVERYBODY must die with you?... fucking conservatives, they see union worker benefits, then instead of asking their boss for benefits they attack the union workers... like "u need to live a shitty life also" lol
@wildboy789789 Man, you keep pinning me as a conservative from nowhere. Think about the scenario you're suggesting- its resources (not money) that will be even more limited if you're competing with billions of people for food, housing, and quality in life. There are so many places that genetics and developmental biology could put their efforts in then just alleviating the fear that we will die some day. Rather then living longer, live more in the now and squeeze as much as possible out of it.
@swiftedg i didnt pin you as conservative, i just stated that i hate conservatives... we have FIAT money, welcome to the future of 1922 lol... fiat money has a value based on the economy of the country... its not based on gold or any real item because as more people are born we need more money to spread around... but because we dont trade with gold, overpopulation will never be a problem... have you ever been to kansas? OVERPOPULATION WILL NEVER BE A PROBLEM, put the extra people in kansas lol
@wildboy789789 Hm I think overpopulation is already a problem, and where are these magic resources that monetary currency is supposed to buy? Nowhere, because we truly aren't self-sustaining in our current world and increasing age will make that actually much worse. And really what is the benefit of growing that old? That means society will be filled with families of up to 10 generations, sickness will be much more prevalent, and even if you can live longer that doesn't mean you'll feel young.
@wildboy789789 There's no such thing as "FIAT" money. The Loonie is backed by our resources and industry.
The greenback is backed and determined by trade, industry, and debt. The list goes on for hours. Every currency is backed by something, otherwise, it would cease to exist.
@SniperViper1000 wikipedia tells me, "Fiat money is money that has value only because of government regulation or law. As such, money is established by government decree. Today, all national currencies are fiat currencies, including the US dollar, the euro, and all other reserve currencies"... our money is only worth the value of the country, but we can use it to buy things like gold and food... fiat money is part of why overpopulation isnt a problem, we dont have a money shortage
Genetic Modification should be allowed, and if any god-fearing, bible-bashing types are offended by this, then they can take it up with the big man when the diabetes kills them. :D
Actually it's rather religious people that fear reality and science and such and bashes genetic engineering. So your comment's quite fail. Religion was men for the middle age, and i don't care what god you believe in, it's imagination. I'm against religion and for science, now get off your fat ass and get some insulin, your imagination wont make things happen.
This has nothing to do with Monsanto. It's a basic example of modifying DNA in bacteria to produce insulin.
Monsanto on the other hand was modifying DNA in animals, not bacteria. Furthermore, the side affect in the milk produced was problematic to our health.
Humans are animals...we fit into no other Kingdom of Life and have a closer relation to other animals. What other Kingdom would we fall under? Fungus?
@Uuuurk i know....and i disagree. they have dna, they reproduce so they must consume energy, they must have evolved from the same thing as all other life forms since they have dna.
@Jarrodmontelius virus is not considerd to be living since they can not reproduce by theire own. this is something that the scientific community agree on.
@Tido0531 Excuse me? Are you somehow insinuating that a high school education entails denying the fact that humans are animals? Not that it even matters but I'm a biology major and even a child can see we do not fall under any other kingdom of life. Which do you believe we fall under? Please enlighten us.
monsantos needs to be stop its getting too ridiculously dangerous. they are patenting seeds for god sake,who the hell lets people patent seeds!? just think of the consequences when people come to rely on only the seeds monsantos produce, complete fascism. the carlyle group seems to be poping everywher you know wher i can get some legit info about them?
@BioBoosterSoldier I just watched Food Inc. and was sickened by their practice of ruining farmers with their law suits... Either way you cut it, they're just being d- heads.
Wow, usually a presentation done "for school" is contrived, forced, perfunctory, incoherent and pointless... this is actually plain spoken and coherent.
Genetic manipulation is evil,we're going to end up in a gundam seed situation.A minority of elite's versus the vast majority of natural's,is this sort of world we want.Soon blue comsos will become an reality,if things keep going the way they are,a group who wants to wipe out the genetically modifed.
Gives me hope.

Also, if a virus emerges from a cell due to mutations in the cell that are not the result of another virus, those viruses automatically do not share a common ancestor, it's the first.

@hoyt596 The fact that some viruses that infect humans share structural features with viruses that infect bacteria could mean that all of these viruses have a common origin, dating back several billion years.
Jarrodmontelius 10 months ago
@Jarrodmontelius it could mean that those viruses in particular (are you talking about bacteriophages?) have a lineage going back millions of years, but does it go back billions of years like ours? no.
hoyt596 10 months ago
@hoyt596 But you said they did not share a common ansestor?
Jarrodmontelius 10 months ago
@Jarrodmontelius AGAIN you twist words, I said that SOME viruses of a certain type MIGHT share a common ancestor that as you said could be traced SEVERAL million years, that does not mean that they share a common ancestor with life, just that a self replicating material can self replicate. In order for it to share a common ancestor with life it would need to be at least several billion years old. You can't expect to win an argument with me by misrepresenting my words, not when its recorded.
hoyt596 10 months ago
You say they may not share a common ancestor even though they are all so similar. That would be an amazing coincidence. And now even if they do it has to be as old as us to be considered a living being?

wildboy789789 10 months ago
@wildboy789789 because pills only send chemicals to your bloodstream and modifying each individual cell's genome is a task that our current scientific tools cannot accomplish. Also Bacteria naturally have plasmids outside their normal bacterial chromosome, humans and eukaryotic cells don't have plasmids :)

"now you have the mental processing speed of the latest computer"... im totally gonna be a cyborg in the future lol... genetic engineering is the BOMB
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 lol yes that does sound pretty bomb at first :D But so much potential to misuse that power, means more regulations and control by the fat cats. I do some genetic experiments with transgenic mice, we're at the point where we might know how sudden infantile death syndrome occurs. Also, genes are only half the story-its the type of environment (and the decisions surrounding it) that you create for yourself that allows the potential for your genes to express the best version of you.
swiftedg 9 months ago
@swiftedg yeah, but whats science without the risk? we should develop it before the wrong hands start developing it first... the immediate benefit is the cure to many uncureable genetic diseases... my mom has a deterierateing joint disease
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 Hah we may be the wrong hands though :) Osteoartheritis is not completely a condition thats based on age, although the chances increase as you grow older. Actually solving these medical questions rather then answering the aging question is much easier and cures are appearing every year that relate to aging- but aging isn't a 'condition' everything eventually goes from highly ordered to less ordered (i.e. we eventually die). Can you imagine multiplying your family by 10?
swiftedg 9 months ago
@swiftedg we might die... but we dont have to age... ageing is a disease that leads to death... growth is nessisary... ageing and withering is optional... death can occour at anytime even without ageing... if people didnt age we would expand our empire into space and have a knowledge boom like never before in our history... imagine if george washington could tell you about the war in person
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 natural death and aging is completely related- you die because of organ failure due to more cells dying then reproducing- this is not a disease for sure. If you don't age, then you don't die... and dying is unstoppable. Since when do we have an empire? We don't need more quantity but quality- imagine if all the smart people decided to reproduce less and the less smart people reproduce more... wait that already exists, don't encourage it further- life is a cycle for a reason
swiftedg 9 months ago
@swiftedg well i dont want to age... r u gonna protest the research?... i enjoy life, and i want to be with the ones i love for as long as possible, even if i wont remember them in my next life
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 Ah the crux of your point :) I probably wouldn't protest, although there are so many supposedly insurmountable barriers to reverse aging (genetic fragility, autoimmune failure, telomeres, etc.)- however if you think about the progress of humanity we've essentially tripled our life span so I am sure that the pattern will continue. I love life and I love every moment of it, but everything we know is impermanent, it's better to accept and live with that fact then resist it for me.

wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 You couldn't be further from the truth and why judge me a conservative from a one liner? People already on average grow to a very ripe healthy age and the longer we grow the more social security (a problem in itself) and medical costs will start send the cost of living through the roof. Not to mention the implication on overpopulation and limited resources. Well anyway, hope you weren't really serious :)
swiftedg 9 months ago
@swiftedg i hope your not serious... think outside the box, why would we need social security if we live till the age of 900? you can just build up money to live off of over time as you age... im very serious when i ask this, even tho YOU want to die after 100 years why do you feel like EVERYBODY must die with you?... fucking conservatives, they see union worker benefits, then instead of asking their boss for benefits they attack the union workers... like "u need to live a shitty life also" lol
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 Man, you keep pinning me as a conservative from nowhere. Think about the scenario you're suggesting- its resources (not money) that will be even more limited if you're competing with billions of people for food, housing, and quality in life. There are so many places that genetics and developmental biology could put their efforts in then just alleviating the fear that we will die some day. Rather then living longer, live more in the now and squeeze as much as possible out of it.
swiftedg 9 months ago
@swiftedg i didnt pin you as conservative, i just stated that i hate conservatives... we have FIAT money, welcome to the future of 1922 lol... fiat money has a value based on the economy of the country... its not based on gold or any real item because as more people are born we need more money to spread around... but because we dont trade with gold, overpopulation will never be a problem... have you ever been to kansas? OVERPOPULATION WILL NEVER BE A PROBLEM, put the extra people in kansas lol
wildboy789789 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 Hm I think overpopulation is already a problem, and where are these magic resources that monetary currency is supposed to buy? Nowhere, because we truly aren't self-sustaining in our current world and increasing age will make that actually much worse. And really what is the benefit of growing that old? That means society will be filled with families of up to 10 generations, sickness will be much more prevalent, and even if you can live longer that doesn't mean you'll feel young.
swiftedg 9 months ago
@wildboy789789 There's no such thing as "FIAT" money. The Loonie is backed by our resources and industry.
The greenback is backed and determined by trade, industry, and debt. The list goes on for hours. Every currency is backed by something, otherwise, it would cease to exist.

@SniperViper1000 wikipedia tells me, "Fiat money is money that has value only because of government regulation or law. As such, money is established by government decree. Today, all national currencies are fiat currencies, including the US dollar, the euro, and all other reserve currencies"... our money is only worth the value of the country, but we can use it to buy things like gold and food... fiat money is part of why overpopulation isnt a problem, we dont have a money shortage
