• -UN- Natural Selection

    Perhaps this show will go down in my top five documentaries for the decade so far. It is called Un-Natural-Selection and can be found on NetFlix. If you haven't seen this movie it is worth signing up for NetFlix for a month trial and watching this movie just for itself. It is that good. The whole story
    is about CRISPR Cas9. This is a gene-editing technique that can copy and
    paste genetic material from anywhere to anywhere, and it is very simple. Simple enough that people are using this high-tech out of their garages and finding cures for diseases in months rather than decades. The technology is extremely seriously dangerous as the people doing this science have tired to alter the germ line of people (inserting DNA permanently into a gene pool
    where there was no gene or a different gene before). They can code anyhting
    to anywhere and they've been home-brew gene doping/modification kits on eBay. So if the war in Ukraine isn't disturbing enough for you then you've got a whole other thing to worry about. The documentary is very detailed,
    explaining exactly what they are doing and their motivating philosophy behind it. I would recommend this documentary with a five stars out of five stars.
