Human Gene Editing Has Begun | George Church

We are already gene editing humans. You just haven’t noticed.George Church, Harvard geneticist and Human Genome Project pioneer, explains why CRISPR wasn’t the real breakthrough, how multiplex gene editing unlocked organ transplants and de-extinction, and why aging will likely require rewriting many genes at once.Hosted by Mgoes → https://x.com/m_goes_distanceBrought to you by SuperHuman Fund → https://superhuman.fund/---0:00 - Gene Editing Mammals → Humans8:36 - Germline vs Somatic14:56 - Modified Humans Are Already Here18:50 - Enhancing Healthy Humans25:00 - Aging Therapies vs Cognitive Enhancement30:20 - Embryo Selection38:10 - Is US Losing To UAE?42:33 - Biotech Failures49:31 - Next Dire Wolf Moment54:21 - AI x Science1:02:07 - Synthetizing Entire Genomes---The Accelerate Bio Podcast explores the future of humanity in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
