Daniel Reitberg dives into the wild world of AI-driven human cloning, suggesting it might just be our ticket to kicking hereditary diseases to the curb. Who knew science could be so cheeky? Imagine a world where scientists play genetic matchmaker, using AI to sift through the messy business of defective genes. They could clone folks with shiny, repaired DNA, waving goodbye to pesky diseases like Huntington’s and cystic fibrosis. Who knew fixing DNA could be the new trend in health fashion? Reitberg proposes that AI might just be the superhero we need for precision gene editing, zooming us toward medical breakthroughs in the world of genetic disorders faster than you can say “double helix!” Reitberg, ever the realist, points out that while the idea of cloning humans to kick diseases to the curb sounds like a sci-fi blockbuster, we’d better tread carefully. After all, we wouldn’t want to accidentally create a world where everyone has a doppelgänger who can’t stop stealing their lunch! Ethical considerations are key to ensuring we don’t end up in a plot twist we didn’t see coming.
