GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies, which discusses the application of gene-modifying technology on humans.

After the shock of hearing the phrase "BGI cloning factory", out comes another bombshell:
- species that taste good is one criterion.
- industrial use
- third category is if it looks cute - anything that looks cute: panda, polar bear, penguin, you should really sequence it - it's like digitalising all the wonderful species," Wang Jun explains.
BGI has ambitions to sequence the genomes of a million people, a million animals and a million plants.

A Chinese group has become the first to inject a person with cells that contain genes edited using the revolutionary CRISPR–Cas9 technique.

Why is it crazy?
Currently humanity could have a machine in every doctor's office to test each bacteria or virus generically. We need to develop antibiotics and antiviral drugs that are specific to the bug. Using CRISPR technology is an inexpensive key to this. The problem with current antibacterial drugs, they are broad based as opposed to targeted.
Other diseases humanity will be able to relieve with gene editing as well.
Do you tell people to suffer instead?
This technology will be put to good use.

Will a Biomedical Duel Between China and the United States Improve Gene-Editing Outcomes !
OK... David -very optimistic!

Adam is the first designer of people. We are just followers (visual 3D editing in real time) :) that saved the human population on earth.
How will a 'GMOlookscute' person look?

Adam ant? Personally there are areas I am in favor of,I.E., finding cures and treatments for ailments.There are other areas I am not in favor of, such as cloning humans. Love live diversity!

If it will make money - it will be done - nothing else matters - or haven't you figured that out yet. Money will drive it - if there is enough money - it will happen - if not or if only the very rich will be able to use it - it will only be in the high falutin doctors offices and clinics - perhaps a few major hospitals - but, a huge but - someone is going to pay for it.

@ RD Erickson - Money will drive it
- To illustrate the scale of this operation, Europe's largest gene sequencing centre is the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
near Cambridge - 30.BGI has 156 and has even bought an American company that makes them.
- In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids - human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs.
- We need only look to mythical chimeras—like the human-bird hybrids we know as angels—for a different perspective ?

P.S. You can try to do it in your own garage (pigsty) for free :)
I am professionally engaged in microbiology, but I prefer DAZ 3D .

How to Make Product Descriptions Seductive ?
When you sit down to write, don’t just create another product description.
Instead, think about your artist.
Consider how you can make his life easier, richer, or more pleasurable:)

A big Italian village of artists - only for you :)
Need a new start?
Idyllic but desperate Italian village offers €2,000 to anyone who wants to move there (and rents of €50 a month) over fears it will turn into a ghost town

Bill Gates Has Seven Predictions for the Future
.... a world in which humans are put out of work by robots.Gates, though, has provided a possible plan of action:
- to tax robots in order to fund more jobs that can only be performed by humans, like taking care of the elderly or working with children.
-The lives of the poor will be transformed by mobile banking.
but .... In the next 15 years, 33 million people could be wiped out in less than a year by a pathogen.

Recently, Elon Musk had the chance to share his thoughts on universal basic income (UBI) at the World Government Summit in Dubai.
The challenges the world will face in the next hundred years – including artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and the job displacement expected to come with it.
- much harder challenge is: How will people then have meaning?
A lot of people derive meaning from their employment. If you’re not needed, what is the meaning?
Do you feel useless?That is a much harder problem to deal with.
How do we ensure the future is a future that we want, that we still like?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finland, for example, started its pioneering UBI program this year, which was launched by the federal social security institution, Kela. It will give out €560 ($587) a month, tax free....

Thinking Outside The Box ?
from Contest - Artificial Intelligence
p.s. :)
Apple’s interest in the future of the AI industry is also reflected in the company joining the “Partnership on AI to Benefit People and Society,” a multi-corporation think tank that explores the responsible implementation of the technology. Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are also partners in the project to make AI a useful tool for all humanity.
