00:00I mean, I think that this is really, really interesting technology, but there are a lot of concerns about where
00:05this could lead to.
00:06And I think Arian talking about the kind of stigma of sort of genetically modified fruit and veg causing a
00:15bit of unease amongst the consumer,
00:17I think reflects sort of broader unease about what are the long term ramifications of us fiddling with biology in
00:27this kind of way?
00:28And could we start to see gene editing to remove sort of nuisance species in their entirety, like mosquitoes, for
00:37example, which sounds good.
00:40But on the flip side, a lot of these species play an important role in ecosystems.
00:44There is an important philosophical element to this, which I think, you know, are the scientists really considering?
00:54Are the politicians really considering? Are the retailers really considering?
00:58I think it's really considering.
