Does new #geneticengineering simply do what breeding and evolution have always done?

A new scientific publication clearly shows that it is not that simple – there are fundamental differences!

https://www.testbiotech.org/en/news/new-study-confirms-fundamental-differences-between-new-genetic-engineering-and-conventional-breeding/

"For months, a small company in San Francisco has been pursuing a secretive project: the birth of a genetically engineered baby.

Backed by OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and his husband, along with Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong, the startup—called Preventive—has been quietly preparing what would amount to a biological first. They are working toward creating a child born from an embryo edited to prevent a hereditary disease. In recent months, executives at the company privately said a couple with a genetic disease had been identified who was interested in participating, according to people familiar with the conversations.

Gene-editing technologies now in use for treatment after birth allow scientists to cut, edit and insert DNA, but using the process in sperm, eggs or embryos is far more controversial and has prompted calls by scientists for a global moratorium until the ethical and scientific questions get resolved. Editing genes in embryos with the intention of creating babies from them is banned in the U.S. and many countries.

Preventive has been searching for places to experiment where embryo editing is allowed, including the United Arab Emirates, according to correspondence reviewed by The Wall Street Journal."

Could an Australian banana prevent a global crop collapse?
By Jacinta Bowler

Australia's first genetically modified banana has been tweaked to protect it from a disease that's on the verge of wiping out crops around the world. Researchers hope it may be on our shelves by 2027.

May We Make the World? by Laurie Zoloth, 2023

Gene Drives, Malaria, and the Future of Nature

An in-depth look at genetic alteration in the natural world and the oppositions to it, seen through the case study of a gene drive for malaria.May We Make the World? is an engaging reflection on the history, nature, goal, and meaning of using a new technological idea—CRISPR-based genetic engineering—

to alter the genome of the mosquito that carries malaria.

This technology, called a “gene drive,” can alter the sex ratio in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the key vector for falciparum, the deadliest form of malaria. P. Falciparum kills 400,000 people a year, largely the poorest children in the world among them. In her sobering examination of the issue, Laurie Zoloth considers the leading ethical arguments for and against gene drives, explores the regulatory efforts that have emerged long in advance of the science, and considers the philosophical questions raised by the struggle to eliminate malaria. The development of a gene drive for malaria will have far-reaching implications for it represents the first use of genetic engineering in the natural world and the first creation of a genetic variant intended to spread in the African wild beyond human control. Drawing on two decades of work, Zoloth brilliantly argues that we can understand the complex moral issues at stake only by carefully reflecting on the science, the nature of the local and global discourse about genetic engineering, and the long history of malaria, which—as it transformed from a worldwide disease to a tropical one—reshaped the world as we know it.

'You struggle on': Tim relies on a GM pig kidney to keep him alive
By Peter de Kruijff and James Bullen

US man Tim Andrews has been broken the record for the longest length of time with a genetically modified animal organ. He hopes more people will receive GM pig kidneys as clinical trials ramp up.

Gene editing could give us 'better' babies — but what are the ethical concerns?
By Charmayne Allison

The race to advance gene editing tech continues, spurred on by starry-eyed Silicon Valley investors, entrepreneurs and even pronatalists. But it's still deeply controversial.
