Will your child also be designed in a lab? A truth that will haunt the future:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Sam Altman, who revolutionized the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and creator of ChatGPT, is once again in the headlines, but this time the reason is not AI, but the future of humans. In a shocking revelation it has come to light that Sam Altman is secretly funding a project which aims to create the world’s first ‘gene-edited’ baby.

As soon as this news came out, there was panic among scientists and ethicists all over the world. He has issued a serious warning calling it a dangerous step for humanity.

What is this secret project?

This project is being run by a biotech startup, which aims to change the DNA of human embryos using ‘gene-editing’ technology. In simple language, this technology will give doctors the ability to make changes in the genes of the child even before his birth. The company claims that its aim is to permanently eliminate genetic diseases such as sickle-cell anemia or cystic fibrosis.

Topic of biggest concern: Return of controversial scientist

The biggest uproar has arisen regarding this project because the same Chinese scientist is behind it. He Jiankui It is the hand of WHO, which deceived the whole world in 2018 and illegally created the world’s first gene-edited girls ‘Lulu’ and ‘Nana’.

For this work he was criticized all over the world and the Chinese government put him in jail. Now giving another chance to the same controversial scientist by a big personality like Sam Altman is scaring the scientists. They fear that this nexus of money and technology could bring about a catastrophe that would be unstoppable.

Why did scientists ring the alarm bell?

1. Danger of ‘designer baby’: Scientists fear that under the guise of eliminating diseases, this technology will pave the way for making ‘designer babies’. Rich people would be able to choose better intelligence, good height, or desired eye color for their children. This will create a new and dangerous inequality in the society.
2. Unknown Dangers: Gene-editing technology is still not 100% safe. Even a small unwanted change in DNA can give rise to new and incurable diseases in future generations. This will be a change that cannot be reversed.
3. Playing with humanity: Many experts believe that this is playing with nature and humanity. Who gave us the right to make changes in human DNA, which is the result of millions of years of evolution?

Sam Altman, who himself keeps warning the world about the dangers of AI, his involvement in such a controversial and dangerous project raises many serious questions. This case shows the blind race of technology, where we are not hesitating to put the future of humanity at stake.
