"Gene Editing for Good"  identifies, that  Since the early 1900's many adults and children have been dying due to the causes of tuberculosis aids or malaria. There have been many discoveries made to help these people but so many people are still dying (Gates 1).]]> 2018-11-06 14:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301007468 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301010574 "The proportion of the world's population in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as living on less than $1.90 per day, has fallen from 35 percent to about 11 percent. Continued progress is not inevitable, however, and a great deal of unnecessary suffering and inequity remains" (Gates 1).]]> 2018-11-06 14:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301010574 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301011755 CRIPSR and other gene technology advances could help end poverty by making it so that farmers produce more productive crops which can help out the poor. Also it could help scientists discover new ways to help cure people and stop other diseases from growing. CRISPR will help save many lives by letting us discover more ways to help treat people who have had disease like malaria and get them out of poverty (Gates 2).]]> 2018-11-06 14:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301011755 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301017804 Since the 1970's organ transplants have been an issue with patients who have had kidney problems. Back then there wasn't that many organs available for people to use. Now organ demand has increased and it is just getting worse (Yang 0:32). ]]> 2018-11-06 15:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301017804 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301020503 CRISPR helps solve so many problems that our society is facing today. When people need an organ transplant they usually have to be put on a waiting list but many of them die before they could get there organ. CRISPR can help change this by using gene editing to make pig organs just like ours (Yang 1:12).]]> 2018-11-06 15:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301020503 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301024279 "So what is it? It's actually like a genetic Swiss army knife. We can pretend this is a Swiss army knife with different tools in it, and one of the tools is kind of like a magnifying glass or a GPS for our DNA, so it can home in on a certain spot. And the next tool is like scissors that can cut the DNA right in that spot. And finally we have a pen where we can literally rewrite the genetic code in that location" (Knoepfler 6:30).]]> 2018-11-06 15:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301024279 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301503217 Harvard graduate Luhan Yang agrees, CRISPR is just taking us one step closer in solving all of our problems. Laika is the first geno-modified pig without PERV and so far there have been a lot more made (Yang  9:11). This is a huge breakthrough and we have now gotten rid of the virus in the pig organs that attacks humans (Yang 11:29). ]]> 2018-11-07 14:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301503217 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301512202 Co-founder of eGenesis Luhan Yang affirms, that now that they have taken the virus out they can now start working on how to make the human body not reject the organ (Yang 11:29).]]> 2018-11-07 14:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/301512202 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302085022 "Scientists are developing crops with traits that enhance their
growth, reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides, boost their nutritional value, and make the plants hardier during droughts and hot spells" (Gates 3).]]> 2018-11-08 14:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302085022 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302086806 "Gene editing for Good" explains, that there have been breakthroughs with lots of different plants. Scientists are trying to make them stay on the shelves longer so that people who don't have food can eat them. Also they are making them be able to live during hard times in weather" (Gates 3).]]> 2018-11-08 14:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302086806 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302093352 From the university of Oxford study,  scientists have now gene edited rice. They have gene-edited rice to help small farmers grow it better. The rice doesn't need that much water and does a better job at photosynthesis. This is good current breakthrough that has happened (Gates 3).]]> 2018-11-08 14:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302093352 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302098406 Billionaire Bill Gates addresses that scientists right now are working on how to help stop the spread of malaria. Malaria is killing so many people and scientists want to help them by stopping the problem in mosquito. Only females carry the malaria disease so they want to make female mosquito's only have males. This will help stop the spread of this disease and save countless lives (Gates 4).]]> 2018-11-08 14:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302098406 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302571678 Scientists have yet to put the gene-modified pig organs in humans, but they are working very hard. This could take around a decade which means that people are still going to be waiting for now (Yang 11:29).]]> 2018-11-09 14:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302571678 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302584734  In the future Luhan Yang hopes that society will benefit from their discovery. Hopefully the number of people dying waiting for an organ will decrease. This is life changing to people who have been waiting months for organs and people who just don't know how much time they have left (Yang 1:12).]]> 2018-11-09 14:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302584734 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302588812 The gene edited female mosquito are a life changing development. Although scientists are working very hard on them and have created some already, they wont be released into the wild until several years. When they are released they wont have such a big effect on the environment because they are such a little experiment (Gates 4).]]> 2018-11-09 14:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302588812 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302590247 The female masquitos will benefit so many people in the future. Hopefully they will transfer there genes onto the next masquito and the disease will stop spreading. The dying numbers will decrease and even though masquitos can become resistant to the medicine, when we use CRISPR we can always be ahead of the game (Gates 4).]]> 2018-11-09 14:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/302590247 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303099721  A science team at imperial college London are testing mice to see if CRISPR can slow down the growth of pancreatic cancer in patients.  The one who led this study, Dr. Leandro Castellano stated "We now need to carry out more research in mice … and we hope that if that is successful then we could move our research to a clinical trial in the next few years"" (Lydall p.11).]]> 2018-11-12 03:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303099721 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303100456 The impact that the science team at the imperial college of London on peoples life spans could be huge. What they are researching in mice could save so many lives in the future if it works. It would be a great outcome and help people be able to spend more time with their family. What they are doing right now is very important and could impact us in just a couple of years (Lydall p.11).]]> 2018-11-12 03:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303100456 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303104056 We want to help prevent CRISPR from becoming a threat as much as possible which is why we would need to have many rules and regulations so that nothing goes wrong. It is also important to have these rules so that people don't go to the wrong side while using CRISPR (Gates 5).]]> 2018-11-12 04:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303104056 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303280215 "Wherever gene-editing research takes place, it should involve all the key stakeholders scientists, civil society, government leaders, and local communities—from wherever it is likely to be deployed" (Gates 5).]]> 2018-11-12 14:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303280215 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303282495 Making rules for CRISPR is very hard because many places would do the rules differently. Anywhere that research takes place, they need to meet the guidelines of WHO and the National Academy of Sciences. The Gates Foundation has helped Universities preform risk assessments to the places that were affected by diseases to help make sure that CRISPR doesn't get out of hand (Gates 5).]]> 2018-11-12 14:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303282495 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303290583 All of these rules and regulations are put on CRISPR to help protect us. If we don't follow these rules something that could happen would be designer babies. Designer babies are basically babies that you get to design what they look like. In the future designer babies could take over the world. Also designer babies are more likely to develop anger issues and become narcissistic. Every parent will be pressured to have a designer baby and soon everyone will have anger issues and nobody will be nice to one another (Knoeplfer 2:51).]]> 2018-11-12 15:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303290583 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303291667 Designer babies are incredibly important to our future. CRISPR could make it so that we can gene edit babies before their born to be immune to certain diseases. In the years to come people would be healthier and would never get certain diseases. This is gonna have a huge impact and more people will live because they are not going to get diseases anymore (Knoeplfer 10:24).]]> 2018-11-12 15:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303291667 sabrina_rosales https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303295698 When dealing with CRISPR it is important to do some tests on ecological risks to make sure that their environment is safe. Also they should involve the public of the area that they are experimenting on because that area could get affected (Gates 5)]]> 2018-11-12 15:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_rosales/xz49lxdvujw8/wish/303295698
