http://www.ted.com In this accessible talk from TEDxBoston, Richard Resnick shows how cheap and fast genome sequencing is about to turn health care (and insurance, and politics) upside down.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

here is the thing, in order for you to deny the idea of a divine creator you have to have a set of rules by which to arrive to that conclusion yourself. Anyways man, if you want some interesting reading that might help explain your way of thinking, google: "theforbiddenknowledge the rockefeller bloodline". It is a good read, even of you are as unbiased as you pretend to appear. This might help explain why today it is "Awesome" to be an atheist, and the hidden agenda behind it all. God bless you

Of course you dont want to agree with something you are reluctant to accept. Ive heard your philosophical ways of explaining creation by chance many many times before, and trust me that doesn't help me or anyone. You find comfort on a theory that everything "just happened by chance" and therefore we are here to enjoy life, yet you spend your so valuable time trying to convince others that God doesn't exist, therefore preaching Atheism as your religion.
squaredeyeball - 16.5.2012 16:32:10
good call on quoting and atheist like you buddy, jeje, hey man look at the real definition of the word faith. I'm going to read from the Bible: Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
MKECBS1 - 15.5.2012 21:23:30
I also want to point out that I don't want to agree on the subject. If anything I'm trying to help you. You live once on this planet. We are the luckiest things in the universe to be given the chance to experience living, because the chances of us being here are soo tiny. out of all those sperm we were the ones that won the battle, PLEASE don't waste your life preaching something which is just a story. The idea of a divine creator belittles the elegant reality, the awesomeness of the universe.
MKECBS1 - 15.5.2012 21:17:32
May I also add "Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us separate from the other mammals. It is our need to believe and to surrender our scepticism and our reason,our yearning to disregard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something that is the sinister thing. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated" - Christopher Hitchens.

I didn't even mention Christianity or the catholic church. I'm talking about ALL religions. They arn''t true. sure exiting and entertaining stories have survived for 2000-3000 years due to their popularity and theological-philosophical significance, but that's all they are. Notice for example, how miracles fail to happen today with the presence of modern technology. there's no more burning bushes, or seas parting. You cannot don't want to argue because you know I use logic, and religion doesn't
squaredeyeball - 15.5.2012 8:18:15
Oh well, if you have no faith then we will never agree on the subject, so I wont waste my time on you, but just one thing, the Catholic church was the one who had the holy inquisition back in the day, but your mistake is to think that Catholicism and Christianity is all the same thing. The Catholic church derived from the mystery religions of Babylon, and the christian Bible dates way back in time. Weather you believe or not, you should know that peace of world history

Sorry to burst your bubble, but hell is a man made creation, born from the insecurities that high intellegence brings. The idea of Hell served its purpose to control and stop people murdering in the medieval times, even to form religious armies. Now it is not needed, nor the idea of god. As soon as science answered 99 percent of questions originally only anserable by the pressence of God, God became obsolete, and if you're only religious because you fear hell, then you truly fail at life.

"We want to give your child the best possible start. Believe me, we have enough imperfection built in already. Your child doesn't need any more additional burdens. Keep in mind, this child is still you. Simply, the best, of you. You could conceive naturally a thousand times and never get such a result."
Great movie! Looking forward to the future! :)

Once you have your genome sequenced, you can easily compare it to the human genome. If you find differences in your genome, they are likely to be the source of a phenotypic function differences. The link between the locus in the genome and its related function will be more and more easy to make and is already very useful. The last point is critical and is needed to have a hint about the probability to develop any disease and which one, but genome sequencing will not be able to find all diseases.

pray for me mom!...sorry kiddo prayer isnt help.

To further clarify, the environment highly dictates our behavior, values, morals and mental illness's. If strontium 90 was not found in our water supply a large portion of us would not develop active cancer gene's. There is also a crime gene. If you had that gene and was raised in a environment with access to the necessity's and technologies regardless of wealth, one wouldn't steal. If you were born in Nazi Germany were you saw Sieg Hail and Deutschland über alles you'd likely be a Nazi.
teewilson333 - 2.3.2012 7:18:29
This is interesting but the effects of genes towards behavior and mental illness's is minimal. The so called "cheating gene" he comments on may or may not become active in a person. The environment gives us different ways of responding with our gene's. You and your wife married at 22 may not relate when your 30. Extensional behavior will lessen and one may begin simulating love witch is common. This is one scenario of what drives cheating. Could i be wrong? Are gene's really the code of codes?

wow.....

@OldSchoolSkill Or we could just lower our massive consumption of meat and now have SO much more food available to us instead of feeding it to the massive amounts of meat factories. I am not saying go vegan, I am just saying make meat a side dish instead of the main course.
Also fuck the corporate people

This guy is PR for Monsanto, about half way through he drops the bomb, saying that if we want to eat, we will half to accept GMO food, now, this I know to be absolutely false, obviously his talk is an attempt to support Big Pharma & Monsanto. Also, his claim about the success of gene therapy, well... if you caise the disease in the 1st place, you will obviously know where to look in the sequence. Rest assured, there are no supecomputers that go find gene diseases, unless they are man made!!!!!
squaredeyeball - 14.11.2011 19:00:24
you are right in what you are saying, but you forgot to mention that this scientific world is also going to hell. oh, and yes the Bible is a collection of stories, thanks for pointing it out.

We as Human Beings are proud of all our scientific accomplishments. We intend to explore from the infinite small such as atoms, to the outrageously Big such as galaxies and the universe. What we must never fail to realize is that all of creation has been materialized into our physical world by energy. it is the knowledge of how to utilize this energy for our nourishment that will increase understanding in creation.
MrMilagroqq - 6.11.2011 1:07:46
how does that correlate to end times, sounds like maybe we'll get rid of some of god's incurable malladies
shane360xx - 5.11.2011 1:46:37
this just sounds like the end times are coming...when they are able to scan us and look at every gene in our body.
samsherbert - 5.11.2011 1:08:20
we move on to a scientific world and one that isn't dictated by a 2,500 year old collection of stories?

@OldSchoolSkill The denial suggests you're in on it! Exposed!
