Genetic Engineering and Human Wings

What is the main topic introduced by Dr. Sarah Thornton in the video?

• The possibility of humans growing wings through genetic engineering.

• The history of genetic mutations in humans.

• The ethical implications of cloning.

• The process of natural selection in birds.

What is a genome primarily described as in the video?

• A type of cell found in animals.

• An instruction manual for building an organism.

• A method for cloning organisms.

• A collection of proteins.

Why is it challenging to add wings to a fully developed human?

• Humans do not have the necessary muscles.

• The human genome does not include instructions for wings.

• Wings would interfere with human balance.

• It is too late to alter the genome once a human is fully developed.

What ethical question is raised about modifying the genome of an unborn baby?

• How to ensure the modifications are reversible.

• If it is acceptable to make changes without the unborn baby's consent.

• Whether it is safe to perform genetic modifications.

• Whether the modifications will affect future generations.

What is the first step in the roadmap for creating a human with wings?

• Developing a new type of DNA.

• Finding a volunteer for the experiment.

• Understanding how to read the genome.

• Deciding on the ethical implications.
