THE BIOTECH REVOLUTION - Visions Of The Future - BBC

Genetics and biotechnology promise a future of unprecedented health and longevity: DNA screening could prevent many diseases, gene therapy could cure them and, thanks to lab-grown organs, the human body could be repaired as easily as a car, with spare parts readily available. Ultimately, the ageing process itself could be slowed down or even halted.

  • easily my favorite in the series

  • @10rosegarden14 They already are.

  • Can't wait for my new cyborg body. This one is a mess.

  • Will there be copyrights on genes? Will companies like Monsanto (who BTW won approval to sell & is now swelling genetically modified corn to humans in America) own genetic modifications and therefore the rights to sell them indefinitely?

    Maybe it's time to copyright our own DNA so that it can't be used without our permission

    I joke that the gene I carry that makes me have such a huge dick might be extremely valuable.

  • I would be down to genetic design my kids

  • I read this fast and thought it read, "THE BIOTCH REVOLUTION".

  • Around 5:30... 5 months lator "what's with this junk mail? insurance for future asthma? Treatment for future colorblindness? I don't have these problems?"

  • @10rosegarden14

    why clone them? You can just breed them on secluded "farms" if you will.

  • Scientists should try cloning endangered animals.

  • 3:12
