In this Episode of SORTA Radio Safa Otles and I speak on genetic modification. Genetic Modification is the process of altering the genetic makeup of an organism. This has been done indirectly for thousands of years by controlled, or selective, breeding of plants and animals. Now they are considering altering humans. So much so that the first genetically modified twins were born in China.
The scientist, He Jiankui of the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, says he used human embryos modified with the gene-editing technique CRISPR to create twin girls. "Two beautiful little Chinese girls name Lulu and Nana came crying into the world as healthy as any other babies a few weeks ago," He says in a video posted online. This breakthrough is the start to a new species of human, one that is not vulnerable tot disease.
Genetic Modification led us to transition onto the topic of aging. Some people such as David Sinclair, already agree that aging is a disease for the human body, since it ultimately causes us to die. What do you think, would you want to live forever? If so, would it be ethical? These types of controversial conversations goes against some beliefs that people are very passionate about.
We wrap up the podcast with some questions for Safa, and his career path. Safa Otles wants to become a teacher of history, his goal is to become a professor. Teachers are the leaders of the youth, they spend more time with the children, than their parent does. He speaks about how a teacher in his senior year of high school helped hm get through tough times. You don't see tat happening anymore!
We all need to respect each other and see how someone is doing if they are looking down. You might not know it but that "Hi, how are you" can change someone's mood for the day. Positivity spreads like a fire through. Safa gives one last message " Stay positive, stick through it, every now and then life does get us down" but keep your chin up. Spread that positivity and watch is come back to you. Thank you for listening!!!
