The whole "deaf community" thing is just absurd imo, any reasonable person would agree that curing diseases is a positive change. What will be much more controversial though, is when we'll be able to change things that are related to race/ethnicity, hair or eye color for example. Imagine a gene editing tech that can change black hair: some black women pay money to get straight hair, maybe some of them would want that? Then there will probably be a big controversy about whether people should gene-edit out some characteristics of their race, or whether those characteristics should be normalised/accepted instead.
那个“聋人群体”的事情在我看来完全是荒谬的，任何理性的人都会同意治疗疾病是一个积极的改变。然而，更有争议的是，我们何时能够改变与种族/民族相关的东西，例如，头发或眼睛的颜色。想象一下，一种基因编辑技术可以改变黑色的头发:一些黑人女性花钱让头发变直，也许她们中的一些人会想要直发? 然后可能会发生一场大争论：即人们是否应该对他们种族的某些特征进行基因编辑，或者这些特征是否应该被正常化/接受。
@Backintime Alwyn They won't need the working classes once the fully autonomous robots become 100% fully operational. In fact 20 or 30 years from now robots will start designing themselves too.
@Backintime Alwyn 一旦全自动机器人100%完全投入使用，他们就不需要工人阶级了。事实上，20或30年后，机器人也将开始设计自己。
I don't understand why race deniers care so much about modification on superficial traits when they don't even pretend to be interested in them. Why don't let just people decide what features they want to get?
我不明白为什么否认种族的人如此在意对外观特征的修改，他们甚至都不假装对这些特征感兴趣。为什么不让人们自己决定他们想要的特征呢?

ehhh.. and so many wht ppl want to be black.. ie have our figures, our curly hair our skin colour our lips... what u on about we not that fussed with straight hair thats why we have wigs
恩……也有很多白人想成为黑人……也就是拥有我们的特征，我们的卷发，我们的肤色，我们的嘴唇……至于你问我们为什么不喜欢直发，原因就是我们有脑子。
Woke brain worms
觉醒主义的大脑蠢蠢欲动。
As a partially blind person (hereditary) there is nothing I fear more than passing my issues to my children. So I am very upset about the Deaf Professors reluctance to this type of technology.
Although I am sure there are some who appreciates life as blind or deaf I am pretty certain nearly all would give anything to change their circumstances; and more than that the circumstances of their children.
作为一个部分失明的人(遗传的)，我最害怕的事情就是把我的问题传给我的孩子们。所以我对那位聋人教授不愿意使用这种技术感到非常失望。
尽管我确信有些人喜欢身为盲人或聋子的生活，但我也确信几乎所有人都愿意付出一切来改变他们的处境；更重要的是改变他们孩子的处境。
A lot of the arguments here seem absurd.
Label GM produce as such, and let people decide. If there are no normal bananas, people will choose between GM bananas and no bananas, and I can already tell you what the vast majority is going to choose.
And curing deafness is a "threat of dissolving" the deaf community?! Just because someone build their entire identity around a disease does not mean more people need to suffer from a treatable disease so the sick can have a community!
这里的很多论点似乎都很荒谬。
可以像给产品贴上转基因标签那样做，并且让人们自己决定。如果没有正常的香蕉，人们会在转基因香蕉和不吃香蕉之间做出选择，我可以告诉你绝大多数人会选择什么。
还有，治疗失聪就是对失聪群体的“毁灭性威胁”?! 仅仅因为有人围绕一种疾病建立了自己的全部身份，并不意味着需要让更多人遭受一种可治疗的疾病的折磨，仅仅因为这个病人可以拥有一个群体身份!
@Sajjad Zaheer GMO should be labeled and you are free to not consume it.
But you should not be free to ban GMOs for everyone else. We have played with nature for the entire history of mankind. Have you seen the difference between our domesticated crops and the wild counterparts they originate from?
@Sajjad Zaheer 转基因食品应该贴上标签，你可以不食用。
但你不应该随意禁止其他所有人食用转基因食品。在整个人类历史上，我们都在和自然打交道。你看到我们驯化的作物和它们的野生同类之间的区别了吗?
Gene editing has huge potential.
We can literally solve the problem of genetic diseases.
Furthermore with progress in this technology we will be able to enhance our intelligence and other physical capabilities.
基因编辑具有巨大的潜力。
我们确实可以解决遗传疾病的问题。
此外，随着这项技术的进步，我们将能够提高我们的智能和其他身体方面的能力。
The public is not aware/educated enough yet to properly interface with GMO and technology like it. But, the public wants the benefits.
公众还没有得到足够的意识和教育来正确地与转基因生物和类似的技术打交道。但是，公众希望得到那种好处。
We want to be lied to. We prefer it over education. Because education is hard work. But, we also refuse to be ignored.
我们希望被欺骗。比起教育，我们更喜欢被欺骗。因为教育是一个苦差事。但是，我们也拒绝被忽视。
@dhwang101 I think people act with whatever limited information they have. Though often their confidence in their actions is greater than the evidence would support.
Who is "people"? Everyone including you and I.
@dhwang101 我认为人们会根据有限的信息采取行动。尽管他们对自己行为的信心往往比证据所支持的更大。
“人们”是谁? 每个人，包括你和我。
There are millions of researches ongoing in the world. How many must go through people's review and acceptance? Who should decide and based on what criteria? I think those are key questions to answer first before designing a more targeted campaign to educate people. I wouldn't go down the path that for any research, we must first get acceptance from people, but at the same time i would emphasize on the role and responsibilities of the researchers.
世界上有数百万项研究正在进行中。有多少必须经过人们的审查和接受? 由谁来决定，并以什么标准为依据? 我认为，在设计一个更有针对性的教育活动之前，这些都是需要首先回答的关键问题。我不推荐这条道路，即任何研究必须首先得到人们认可，但同时我要强调研究人员的作用和责任。

Most research is based on making a profit. He was only concerned about making a banana resistant to disease, not how that change to the fruit's dna will affect humans after humans consume it. Don't believe that they care about human hunger.
大多数研究都是以盈利为基础的。他只关心让香蕉抗病，而不是人类食用香蕉后，香蕉DNA的变化会如何影响人类。不要相信他们在乎人类的饥饿问题。
I'm truly baffled by anyone that thinks gene editing correcting certain hereditary disabilities is wrong. Why wouldn't you want people to live to their full potential? Nobody is going to "dissolve" you as people for simply allowing others the opportunity you didn't have. That logic alone implies that you value more the sense of community given by that disability rather than a person's individual rights and choices. That isn't a community, that is a cult.
基因编辑可以纠正某些遗传缺陷，有些人认为这是错误，对此我感到困惑。你为什么不希望人们充分发挥自己的潜力呢? 没有人会仅仅因为让别人得到某个机会，而你得不到，就“解除”了你作为人的资格。仅这一逻辑就意味着，你更重视这种残疾所带来的群体意识，而不是个人的权利和选择。那不是一个群体，而是一个邪教。
It was a bit strange, as if deafness were a positive trait and needed to be saved from eradication.
有点奇怪，就好像耳聋是一种积极的特征，需要避免被根除。

Healing deafness is "controversial." Give me a break (:
治疗耳聋是“有争议的”？饶了我吧。

I honestly feel like the is similar to the myth of the Titanic - it was call the ship that would never sink. You really think that they can make people never deaf? I think she was just low key trying to say, don't use us as an excuse to experiment on people....
老实说，我觉得这和传说中的泰坦尼克号很像——它被称为永不沉没的船。你真觉得他们能让人永远不聋吗? 我想她只是想说，不要把我们聋人当作在人身上做实验的借口……
great news. now it is time for highly educated people to make physical events and bringing it to our economy and publicize them as the best future science around us
好新闻。现在是时候让受过高等教育的人举办体育赛事，并把这种做法引入到我们的经济中，并把它作为我们身边最好的未来科学进行宣传。
Also can it into bio weapons too
另外它也会变成生物武器。
Neo luddites . And what are the ethics of not curing deafness for those who want it, because others feel it makes them special? Has the Economist done a deep dive behind the scenes of the opposition to gene editing? Look to see if group or persons are coordinating the opposition and what their motives may be?
新卢德分子。因为其他人觉得耳聋让聋人显得很特别，所以让那些想要治疗耳聋的人不去治疗，这有什么伦理可言?《经济学人》是否深入了解了反对基因编辑现象的幕后故事? 看看是否有组织或个人在协调反对者，他们可能存在什么动机?
The solution for the impossible mathematics of death is more research and more policy on developments. Apease the fear and promote scientific advancements.
要想解决死亡这一不可能的数学问题，办法是更多的研究和更多的发展政策。安抚恐惧，促进科学进步。
They mean in scenarios where it affects most people regardless of whatever like the mosquito thing will affect people who want it and those who don’t and they believe it a important to consent and regulate which I agree with. I think however in severe scenarios like in africa with starvation, we just need to supply when with the gmo food but the Individual most be consent and be educated the food their are eating. Most priority the poor wouldn’t care and would just eat it whether gmo or not I think most or all will say yes. And for eradication of disease, they should eradicate it but consent need to come when it reaches the individual if they want it
他们的意思是，在这种情况下，它会影响大多数人，无论是谁，比如这种蚊子会影响希望这种影响的人，也会影响不想要它的人，而且他们认为取得同意并且进行控制是很重要的，我同意这一点。然而，我认为对于一些严重的情况，比如非洲的饥饿，即使是转基因食物也可以直接提供给他们，但必须得到接收这些食物的个人的同意，并且告知他们正在吃的食物是转基因的。这不是穷人最在乎的优先事项，不管转基因与否，他们都会吃。我认为大多数人或所有人都会说“是”。至于根除疾病，他们应该根除它，但是涉及到个人层面，需要征得人们的同意，问他们是否想要。
Even if you are able to have survived in the first round which means having the healthy genes during the born, it’s unlikely to be able to make it throughout the life-long journey under the conditions when proper education and appropriate parenting skills are being absent. Without activating factors, many of the genes are left futile and remain dormant along the course.
即使你能在第一轮生存下来，这意味着在出生时拥有健康的基因，但在缺乏适当的教育和适当的育儿技能的情况下，也不太可能让你在一生的旅程中一帆风顺。如果没有激活因子，许多基因就不会生效，并一直处于休眠状态。
i support gene editing technology, if something go wrong in its invant stage it will go right as it mature
我支持基因编辑技术，如果在发明阶段出了问题，在成熟阶段也会步入正轨。
As a person with genetic disease I am all for this. But everything has to be done in moderation. If the child would be born sick fix it but not if the only thing you want to fix is your childs eye color for aestetics. Unless health would be compromised in a minor I say let every person decide if they want it or not. Its their body after all.
作为一个有基因疾病的人，我完全支持这个。但做任何事都要有节制。如果孩子一出生就生病了，那就修复它，但如果你唯一想修复的是你孩子眼睛的颜色，那就不要做。除非未成年人的健康会受到损害，否则我建议让每个人来决定他们是否想要。毕竟那是他们的身体。

15:40 Wait a minute, and not trying to offend anyone here, but are there really people out there who would argue against the elimination of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome? Why anyone would want another human being to endure this is beyond me. Do they know the huge amounts of energy, time and money that are involved in properly taking care of a child with Down syndrome? It is certainly no joke, not for the kid, nor for the parents.
等一下，我不想冒犯在座的各位，但真的有人会反对消除唐氏综合症等基因疾病吗? 为什么会有人想让另一个人忍受这一切，我无法理解。他们知道照顾一个唐氏综合症患儿需要花费大量的精力、时间和金钱吗? 这当然不是玩笑，对孩子是这样，对父母也是。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
此外，人们当然可以看到“消灭”唐氏综合症患者和防止唐氏综合症患者出生之间的区别。前者是优生学和社会达尔文主义，而后者是正确使用技术进步。
Because wokism dude.
因为觉醒主义，哥们。
There was an outrage a few years ago because island had no down sydrom case for more than a dacade. I'm happy for the islandic families that they have a choice and all diagnostics are covered by public health care!
几年前，岛上发生了一件“骇人听闻”的事，因为十多年来岛上一直没有出现唐氏综合症病例。我为这个岛上的家庭感到高兴，他们有了一个选择，而且所有的诊断都由公共卫生保险覆盖!
It's the same logic as the so-called "fatphobia". If you try to lose weight, your are fatphobia, lol
这和所谓的“恐胖症”的逻辑是一样的。如果你想减肥，那你就是恐胖症，哈哈。
@Kuniklo Y not really. No one is saying we should discriminate against people with genetic diseases or be phobic of them. Simply help cure the diseases. The equivalent would be opposing using this technology to alter genes responsible for a genetic predisposition to obesity eg those involved in hormonal/appetite/impulse regulation.
@Kuniklo Y 其实不是。没有人说我们应该歧视患有遗传疾病的人，或对他们感到恐惧。只是帮助治疗疾病。同样的，也没人反对使用这项技术来改变导致肥胖的基因，例如那些涉及激素/食欲/冲动调节的基因。
Where do you draw the line tho? Should things like autism and ADHD also be eliminated? Should acne? Crooked teeth?
你的底线在哪里? 自闭症和多动症之类的“疾病”也应该被消除吗? 痤疮呢? 牙齿不正呢?
@Cecce - yes. If someone wants that.
If they want fangs, gills, and feathers give it to them. They can always change back if they don't like it.
@Cecce - 是的。如果有人想要的话。
如果他们想要尖牙，鳃和羽毛，那就给他们吧。如果他们不喜欢，可以随时换回来。
"This kind of community needs to continue ; we can't continue if we have the threat of dissolving us as a people" - quote from the deaf bioethicist.
Like always, everyone will protect themselves/their community, no matter the cost to others (like the kids that the bioethicist seems to want to be born deaf?? or the whole ecosystem we spray dead because of the mosquitoes??)
You can increase the amount of times you walk to the well, or make it deeper every year. Or you invent desalination. The one that doesn't invent anything protects their community by going to journalists, complaining about the risks of the invention.
“这种群体需要继续；如果我们面临这种被毁灭为人资格的威胁，我们就无法继续”——引用这位耳聋生物伦理学家的话。
像往常一样，每个人都会保护自己/他们的群体，不管会给其他人带来什么代价(就像那些孩子，这位生物伦理学家似乎想要天生耳聋?? 或者整个生态系统因为那种蚊子而被我们喷药杀死??)
你可以多向井走几趟，或者每年把它挖的更深一些，或者发明海水淡化。没有发明任何东西的人会去找记者，抱怨这项发明的风险性，以此来“保护”他们的群体。

Exactly. Imagine how awful someone in the future must feel knowing that their deafness could be prevented, but wasn't because someone wanted to preserve their "community". I'd reject that community in an instant if I found that out.
完全正确。想象一下，未来如果有人知道他们的耳聋原本可以预防，却因为某些人想要保护他们的“群体”而没有预防，他们会感觉多么糟糕。如果我知道了，我会立刻拒绝这个群体。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
If they were cancer patients or had any other disease, they wouldn't be wanting to preserve a community of people that suffer from deafness. Why cling to that identity!? That's a weird identity to cling to when it could possible be cured soon. "wHy CuRe uS? wE WaNt tO Be dEaF". Nonsensical that point of view is.
如果把他们的耳聋之苦换成癌症或其他疾病，他们是不会想要保留这个群体的。为什么要坚持这个身份!? 当这种疾病可能很快被治愈的时候，这种身份就很奇怪了。“为什么要治愈我们? 我们就爱当聋子”。这种观点很荒谬。
@PNorthWest I honestly feel like this is similar to the myth of the Titanic - it was call the ship that would never sink. You really think that they can make people never deaf? I think she was just low key trying to say, don't use us as an excuse to experiment on people....
@PNorthWest 老实说，我觉得这和传说中的泰坦尼克号很像——它被称为永不沉没的船。你真觉得他们能让人永远不聋吗? 我认为她只是想说，不要把我们当作在人身上做实验的借口……
@b pavilion No one says that you can prevent all people from being deaf. That's not what the video talked about. It spoke of a very specific solution to a specific cause of deafness.
@b pavilion 没有人说你能阻止所有人失聪。视频里不是这么说的。它提到了一种针对特定耳聋原因的非常具体的解决方案。
Great knowledge share by the economist
经济学人分享了很棒的知识。
What are some thought on this? Seems like a lot of research is still needed, but I'm guessing they can combat birth defects with this possibly
大家对此有什么看法? 似乎还需要大量的研究，但我猜他们可以用它来战胜出生缺陷。
Can anxiety disorders be cured by altering genes? If so I'll be a big fan of genetic engineering.
This video is so nice, very informative
改变基因能治愈焦虑症吗? 如果是这样的话，我将是基因工程的超级粉丝。
这个视频很好，信息量很大。
Why not? It's true that stress comes from environment and would always be there but how much body is potent to handle it definitely comprises of genes as a factor
为什么不呢? 的确，压力来自环境，而且总是存在，但身体有多大能力处理压力，基因作为一个因素，肯定是存在决定性的。
Absolutely, it also can be designed to target certain groups of ppl with mild or severe mental illness and wipe them out to reduce governments’ financial burden
当然，它也可以被设计成针对某些群体的轻微或严重的精神疾病，并消灭他们，以减少政府的财政负担。
How is it different from brushing teeth? One can say that is also an artificial way invented by humas to make their teeth last longer.
这和刷牙有什么不同?可以说，这也是人类为了延长牙齿寿命而发明的一种人工方法。
Ethics is the last thing they will think of when it comes to the needs of poor people who struggle to have something to eat or die with some easily avoidable disease. The "ethical" discussions are rich and healthy people game, for they do not suffer the results of famine and early death threats today. There shall be better regulations? Yes. But we have to speed up solutions and make them available for those who really require them.
By the way, congratulations on the excellent video. It's very informative.
当涉及到穷人的需求时，伦理是他们最后考虑的事情，他们连吃上饭都要苦苦挣扎，或者死于一些很容易避免的疾病。“伦理”的讨论是富有和健康的人的游戏，因为今天的他们不会遭受饥荒和早死威胁的后果。应该有更好的规定吗? 是的。但我们必须加快解决方案的速度，让那些真正需要的人可以使用它们。
The reason why people are starving is not because of a lack of food, it's because of greed...
人们挨饿的原因不是因为缺少食物，而是因为贪婪……

I have been consuming few fruits like Papaya, new varients have come in market with long shelf life & different shape & colour & taste. But old variety which existed 3 to 5 decades ago has simply vanished which had juicy soft pulp & very high sweetness & distinct flavor. Recently I have purchased 100 kg of Rice called JIRGA & Ghansal variety, semi-polished, from Kolhapur & Kokan region of Maharashtra of INDIA, This variety is ancient Has Government GI (Geographical Identification) Tag, Taste & aroma of Indian Basmati rice is too second to it. Look at the grapes, Grapes with seeds no one grows & sells & will vanish slowly. Same holds true for older corn varieties, now you get only Sweet Corn, So go ahead with technology but preserve & produce old varieties too.
我一直吃木瓜这样的少数几种水果，市场上出现了新的品种，保质期长，形状、颜色和口味也不一样。但30-50年前存在的老品种已经完全消失了，它们多汁、果肉柔软、甜度非常高，而且风味独特。最近我从印度马哈拉施特拉邦的Kolhapur和Kokan地区购买了100公斤半磨光的JIRGA和Ghansal大米。这个品种十分古老，有地理标识标签，印度巴斯马蒂大米的口感和香味比它差得多。看看葡萄，果实带种子的葡萄没人种，没人卖，会慢慢消失。老玉米品种也是如此，现在你只买的到甜玉米，所以，请继续发展技术，但也要保留和生产老品种。
Right! Yes bring back seeds in my fruit!
没错! 是的，把种子送回我的果实里！
Even if we are worried, technology can't be stopped. If Europe or US makes a rule to slow down technological process, China will do it. If China stops it, then Russia will do it. If Russia stops it, then Japan will do it. There's not stop in technological advancement.
即使我们担心，技术也不能停止。如果欧洲或美国制定规则来减缓技术进程，中国也会这么做。如果中国阻止，俄罗斯也会这么做。如果俄罗斯阻止，日本也会这么做。技术进步不会停步。
True. But we can implement limits on technology. Think about how humanity developed rules and restrictions about chemical and nuclear weapons after the world wars. I just hope it doesn't take millions of deaths to get the that point with new technologies.
确实。但我们可以对技术进行限制。想想人类是如何在世界大战后制定出关于化学武器和核武器的规则和限制的。我只希望新技术不会导致数百万人死亡。

Not only that. CRISPR is very cheap, anyone with 50k USD can turn his/her kitchen into a laboratory. CAS9 is cheaper than chicken protein today.
It is better to advance research in all fronts, with policy, than turn a blind eye and hope NIMBY will stop the process.
不仅如此。CRISPR非常便宜，任何人只要花5万美元就可以把他/她的厨房变成实验室。CAS9比现在的鸡肉蛋白更便宜。
与其睁一只眼闭一只眼，寄希望于邻避效应让这一进程停止，不如在政策上推进各方面的研究。
Tricks solve problems - facts avoid problems.

With all due respect to that deaf professor. But any disability is a disease that needs to be cured.
I mean, isn't it a great thing learning that one day cancer communities won't exist, shouldn't it be the same with deafness?
无意冒犯那位聋哑教授。但任何残疾都是一种需要治愈的疾病。
我的意思是，知道有一天癌症群体不复存在，难道不是一件好事吗，这难道不是和耳聋一样吗?
