Chris Mason's Insights on Human Genome Editing
To become an interplanetary species, we may have to genetically engineer ourselves to be more resilient, says geneticist Chris Mason. He has a 500-year plan for life away from Earth that incorporates advanced genome editing techniques.
The Need for Resilience
- Human genome adaptations are crucial for survival on Mars.
- Genetic engineering could help us withstand harsh environments.
- The concept includes significant adjustments to our genome.
Looking Toward the Future
As we forge our path towards becoming an interplanetary species, embracing innovations in genome technology will be essential. Mason's vision challenges current perceptions of humanity's limits in space exploration.
