Genetics and Biotechnology (A Mini-Documentary)
*NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED* Narrative(yes I wrote it all by myself based on 2 hours worth of videos): 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. Hi I #39;m Joyeuphonium and today I #39;ll be looking at the revolution in genetics and biotechnology, which promises unprecedented health and longevity but also raises the spectre of a Frankenstein future of genetically engineered people. Will we, as transhumanists expect, evolve into a new species? Well, here goes nothing~ *intro clip* Genetics of the past: (Age of Scientific Discovery) Gregor Mendel #39;s work on pea plants in the 1850s may have pioneered the field of genetics but it wasnt until the discovery of chromosomes that really did set things off. In between during the 1900s, Thomas Hunt Morgan found that genes are located on chromosomes and some may be sex linked while working on fruit flies. 10 years after that, Beadle and Tatum who were working on bread mold, came up with the #39;one gene one enzyme #39; hypothesis and a further 10 years we find that Barbara McClintork discovered transposons which may cause genes to mutate. Later, the Hershey and Chase experiment was able to conclude that DNA is the genetic material just by using a blender, and then comes the infamous Watson and Crick model of a DNA ...From:joyeuphViews:97 0ratingsTime:04:23More inScience Technology
