>> well we have one federal law on genetic discrimination, the genetic information nondiscrimination act. it focuses exclusively on health insurance and employment. but genetic information can be used to discriminate on a whole host of different areas, from disability insurance to long term care insurance. it can be used by a bank if they want to make a long term loan and they think there's information in your genome that you will not live long enough to pay back that long term loan. >> isn't it at some point a genie that gets out of the bottle and maybe a little too much power in people's hands? >> first of the all-- the genie is out the bottle. this stuff is moving, period. there's no way to put it back in the bottle. the only countermeasure for me, for all of this, is massive transparency. getting a point where, in fact, yes, the norm is that your genome is on the cloud and open to all. we're heading towards a society in which we're going to know anything you want anytime you want anywhere you want. there are no secrets anymore. >> and what's the impact of that? >> fundamental re-

we began by using very modern techniques now called up to genetics -- opto genetics to activate and inhibithese neurons. we can turn them on and turn them off with a time resolution of milliseconds. i'm going to show you a video of what happens to a male mouse when you activate these aggression iran's in the brain -- neurons in the brain. some of the viewers might find the image a bit disturbing but what we are doing does not hurt the mouse. these are all protocols that have been approved by our institutional animal use and care committee and nih approved. you will see the mouse in a cage with an inanimate object. when the light comes on we are stimulating these aggression neurons in the mouse. we can actually trigger the mouse to attack a rubber glove. if there were another mouse there he would attack the other mouse as well. we wanted to ask, are these neurons necessary for normal aggression? mice will normally fight for each other, if you introduce an insured or mouse into the cage where a male mouse lives, very shortly thereafter the resident mouse will attack the intruder. we ask if we

it could be genetic. it could be how the brain develops. we also know that trauma reduces the size of the amygdala in children. neglect reduces the size of the amygdala. for whatever reason, i don't think psychopaths ask to be born with an amygdala three sizes too small. if that brain empowerment -- impairment predisposes them, alters them, doing the terrible things they do, the fascinating question is to what extent do we , hold them fully responsible for their actions? >> this is not dna evidence. this is not like saying, i am responsible, david is not definitively. this is a probabilistic statement, and that is imperfect in front of the law. >> absolutely. >> i think as techniques get better, and not only the amygdala the amygdala is , associated with abnormality, danger is associated with another abnormality, we will be in a better position. ♪ >> human parents, this behavior is essential for the proper development of the child heard . in addition, parenting is one of the strongest and most enduring social bonds in human societies . rema

how much are we shaped by inheritance genetically and through evolution how much is left for human freedom and moral responsibility? how do we understand the future? what is the purpose of this whole thing? >> in the theological perspective we have a tradition with the resurrection of christ but how do we understand with science, cosmology, open universe, a lot of challenging questions. >> yeah. so 30 years you have been at that. you remember at the start, how did the people begin to talk with one another at the table? >> it was awkward. it was very hard. you use the word cause in physics and theology but it means a different thing. if you say god caused this event, do you mean like a force? of course not. in physics you have forces. so it's really mistermed to use the same word on both sides. it took a long time to build a common language where you could talk about theology, talk about science and bring them together. that was a struggle. but once you get people with good will together and they begin on the interdisciplinary questions, exciting results arise. >> who was in the initial con

"new atlantis" is that with a special issue which they say is a threat and

. >> the way that we do this is we genetically implant in these neurons deep in the brain a protein that comes from a light-sensitive algae, and that protein makes an ion channel through the membrane of the neuron that turns the neuron on only when light activates that channel. so we can convert these are neurons into light sensitive neurons. so that shows us that these neurons are necessary and sufficient for aggression. >> different kinds, those that activate the neurons and those that shut it off, and he can do either. >> so we discovered as we were manipulating the conditions for turning these neurons on something very surprising, and that is that you needed tensity stimulation wouldowto promote mating whaifer. so the mouse would try to mate with low intensity stimulation, whether male or female mouse. and we could switch the behavior of the same animal from attempted mounting to a mixture of mounting and attack just by increasing the intensity of light. so that tells us that, in this tiny region of the brain, this is a mixture of neurons that are controlling both the mating instijt

the question is with all the genetic information we had and all the bread diseases out there and the science that has been done, that we know and understand what has been going on. how can it be that there are no biomarkers based approvals for more diseases that could require them? i know doctors had them because i working on a program for disease and it -- type seven, that disease is a slight disease. only 20 patients in the united states perhaps with this disease. yet, we have a treatment that has been around for 20 years. it works beautifully and not translated because we cannot detect or do a study with 10 patients and prove it is working. if you used the biomarker, how much material they have in their bodies, we could do it immediately. we have got bma to a great and fda has not agreed at this point. with a biomarker, we can run the study with 12 patients and get the study to work. based on all the signs we have, showed that is a reasonable treatment and get these kids treatment. what is the point of all the nadh research we have been funding? the billions of dollars we have bee

by selecting the right cell from knowing the genetic code, you can prevent having to make the decisionve an abortion or not. it's inevitable that we will go in this direction. i'm hoping we will wait till we get more knowledge and wisdom to do it a little bit more intelligently. >> and something i think will happen a little sooner. you have a lot of -- because of the practice now of studying people with cancer and trying to stop people from dying prematurely even if the cancer is addressed in later stages or rapidly growing by analyzing the genome, the tumor, we know every one of us has about 10,000 cancerous cells every day that our bodies just destroy. there are a lot of genome researchers who believe that we should basically be able to kill all these tumors the way our body disposes of others by attacking them with killer cells. so on balance, this stuff is going to be way good for us. at the margins, there will be continuing moral, ethical, practical questions to be resolve resolved, and matching yourer in landscape to our outer reality will be a different kettle of fish 20 years f
