Harvey Fineberg is a genetisist and doctor who can see the potential that is present in the alteration of genes. These guides to the creation of a human life are separated into millions of "phrases" which can be linked even further to human traits. There is a new potential for the creation of humans who are designed to be more beautiful, kinder, smarter, better people who can even be made to live longer. Mr. Fineberg explained this by first going over what humans have done as creatures of the Earth so far.
We have caused the world to adapt to us rather than let the world determine how we act as a species. This is really what separates people from the rest of the known organisms. We have an actual idea of what we have done as a race and know how to correct in the future the flaws we created in the past. This forward thinking and pre-planning is what allows people like Harvey Fineberg to do their work.
With the advent of scientists who can alter and better human life, the process will become even more available and less potentially taboo in the future, and when it is as simply explained as Mr. Fineberg is able to do that future seems even more possible. His TEDTalk inspired a confidence in me for a utopia that just is not possible today. There is so much potential in the world of science guided evolution.
