Scientists discussed editing the human genome as a way to solve “climate change” years ago
(expose-news.com)https://expose-news.com/2023/08/16/editing-the-human-genome-for-climate-change/?At the 2016 World Science Festival, a panellist openly discussed using genetic engineering of humans to “address climate change.” He went on to give two examples of how editing the human genome could mitigate “climate change.”
Powerful new genetic tools allow scientists to alter the DNA of any organism – with tests on human embryos already underway. Even more ambitious, synthetic biologists on the verge of creating the genetic material for a living organism from scratch are setting their long-term sites on fashioning a fully synthetic human genome. With bold promises of disease resistance and controlling human evolution, this explosive progress has ignited ethical debate. As we rewrite our code of life, how will we revise the code we live by?
