piece of paper and a pen get it ready
because we have so much vocabulary so
much vocabulary so those are the stories
and our first story is about McDonald’s
whoo okay so let’s get right into it
only three pieces of vocabulary for this
but they’re interesting nonetheless so I
will read to you if you have questions
let me know in the comments I’m trying
to read as they go but as you can see it
goes quite fast I’ll try to keep you
updated okay
feces fact on McDonald’s touchscreens in
the UK feces what does it mean it means
poo or so poo and
they are informal words so is the
most informal it sounds rude you won’t
say that to your boss poo we teach kids
to say poo so that’s okay you can say
poo to everyone in it’s fine
feces means the same thing but that’s
the scientific term that’s the medical
term so feces poo
oh we gonna member Magda for Magda love
you Magda
you know what Magda I love you only you
and no one else how about that yeah
Magda watch you know what your last name
is and it’s a lovely last name love you
so much okay let’s read this together a
senior lecturer in microbiology at
London Metropolitan University said we
were all surprised at how much gut
that’s your stomach and fecal from
faeces bacteria there was on touchscreen
machines these cause the kinds of
infections that people pick up in
hospitals gross gross pickup that’s an
interesting phrasal verb to pick up
means in this context pickup means to
get an illness get an infection you pick
up an illness example I went on holiday
and I picked up malaria boo that sucks
it’s gross Krieger Lu thanks to the
super sticker man what’s the game over
in reference to is that in reference to
magda you’re in Plymouth damn you moved
to the UK well good luck with brexit a
parent I think brexit is not gonna
happen I don’t know what do you think
let me know
notice that Magda has got a cool icon
next to her name you can have that too
if you become a member by clicking join
awesome welcome Magda thank you okay yes
so have you ever picked up a disease
picked up an illness from holiday or
from a person let me know in the
comments
Ulfric is saying pick up a girl yes
that’s a different context girls are not
infections girls are not diseases girls
are lovely but yet so to pick up ago
that would be too
yeah and what time does this start this
starts at 3 p.m. every Sunday London
time so don’t worry you’re just in time
we’ve only just started you’re new
you’re good you’re great ok let’s
continue a McDonald’s spokesman said in
an e-mailed statement our screens are
cleaned frequently throughout the day
with a sanitizer solution all of our
restaurants also provide facilities for
customers to wash their hands before
eating okay some weird things here
vocabulary first throughout
pronunciation because lots of you asked
me about pronunciation of this word
throughout say it with me especially if
you’re in public shout it throughout
throughout throughout it’s linked with a
what sound through welt how can we use
it in passive duck which word are you
malaria was picked up by me doesn’t
sound very natural hmm oh okay
Alessandra my husband picked up a party
a patty
Peppa type in Turkey several years ago I
don’t know I think you’ve translated
leticia junk food is disgusting why are
people surprised with poo okay that is a
really good point like how this guy says
we were surprised at how much gut and
fecal bacteria there was on touchscreen
machines have you heard that on your
phone they said that they tested phone
screens and there was more bacteria on
your phone than on a toilet seat
that’s gross that’s disgusting I want to
throw this out the wind I won’t because
it’s very expensive I need a phone
someone just said creakle oh I picked up
hepatitis A from a McDonald’s
touchscreen and became jaundiced is that
true is that really real are you just
pulling my leg you’re just joking did
IV star has a very good sentence I
picked up some Arabic while in Saudi I
guess in Saudi Arabia yeah you can also
not just for illnesses you can say you
acquired something I picked up a
language I went to England and I picked
up English I picked up some cockney
accent with Ali’s amazing cockney video
yeah so yet throughout the word
throughout means from beginning to end
of an event for example for example you
go to the cinema the person behind you
is talking talking talking they don’t
shut up you can say this person was
talking throughout the movie from the
beginning of the movie to the end of the
movie annoying people gross what else
was really disco yeah at the end that
they say it’s frequently cleaned
throughout the day with sanitizer
solution I’ve never seen that I’ve never
seen anyone clean the screens and
McDonald’s one second our restaurants
provide facilities for customers to wash
their hands before eating are they
blaming the customer surely you know
I picked up a cold from my visit to my
friend yes that’s great that’s great
that’s a great example well done well
done sir hail el Taha sorry if I
pronounce your name wrong
I’m rubbish at everything especially
pronunciate prayer pronouncing people’s
names terrible so what do you think
about this M thoughts/opinions
McDonald’s then we love them hate them
do we wear the t-shirt I’m kidding this
is from Uniqlo I love Uniqlo more than
McDonald’s yeah okay so next story we’re
gonna look at their next story which is
one second because I need to show you
one thing where’s my this yes this if
you want to talk to me today there
that’s my Skype ID if you want to talk
on skype ad talk with ally um send me a
message
what’s your name where are you from what
is your message and if you want to talk
during this live stream I can call you
we’re going to talk to a few of you and
I’m really looking forward to it because
we always have fun it’s amazing okay so
the next story is of course super babies
China has apparently created a super
baby not a baby that can fly but super
nonetheless so have you heard about this
story it’s crazy Chinese scientists
created a genetically modified baby
sometimes they call them designer babies
which is when a parent can choose do I
want my child to be male or female
do I want blonde hair or brown hair do I
want freckles or no freckles do I want
blue eyes brown eyes what do I want
so let me know let me know what you
think first
it’s about designer babies because
that’s weird
to begin with and secondly let’s read
the article together okay so the
headline is Chinese scientists says he’s
the first to create a genetically
modified babies using CRISPR he jjang
jjang jjang Kui again rubbish
pronouncing names I’m sorry of the
Southern University of Science and
Technology in shenzhen china says his
team performed gene surgery on embryos
created from their parents sperm and
eggs to protect the children from HIV
which causes AIDS the children’s father
is HIV positive so there is a chance to
give it to the the kid so the first two
bits of vocabulary CRISPR and sperm what
is CRISPR CRISPR is a gene editing
machine maybe you’ve seen this in the
news the easiest way to explain it you
can take someone’s DNA edit that DNA and
replace it with healthy DNA in this case
if there is a part which is responsible
for a disease they can remove that
replace it with a clean piece of DNA so
if you’re a biologist let me know I want
to talk to you about this because this
is a huge story huge it could
potentially change humans it could be
could it create x-men could this create
x-men who knows hmm okay lúcia is saying
designer babies are not worse than
breeding dogs it’s even better since the
parents have given consent interesting
yes a dog can’t give consent that it’s
true Ricardo is saying good news our
babies could be resistant to certain
illnesses very true in this case
HIV Masai say it doesn’t seem Ithaca
to design humans right this is this is
the debate is it ethical
is it right and is there a line is there
a limit that is the huge debate here
between scientists between doctors so
that’s what we’re going to just discuss
and duck is saying if a father is HIV
positive then there’s a high highly rate
Maria with this technology we could
avoid so many illnesses yeah so many
opinions from both sides let’s continue
more vocab a perm this is gonna be fun
so how can I describe sperm without this
video being flagged as adult it’s for
education should be fine okay sperm
these were the best words I found on
Google for synonyms of sperm semen
seminal fluid from the penis seed which
is fun ejaculate or my favorite one
emission emission that’s a great name I
think everyone should call it emission
from now on yeah so a man’s emission
don’t ever call it that okay so let’s
continue a CRISPR pioneer at MIT MIT is
a university in the United States
Michigan instituting Michigan
Mississippi not Mississippi Michigan
Institute technology I might be wrong
anyway this guy has concerns although I
appreciate the global threat posed by
HIV at this stage the risks of editing
embryos to fight HIV seem to outweigh
the potential benefits
he noted that editing the same gene
responsible for HIV will likely make a
person much more susceptible for West
Nile virus very interesting so before we
continue there
bits of vocabulary I’ve got concern
threat pose risk outweigh and
susceptible and what do they mean so
threat whoops I’m sorry a concern is a
worry if you have a concern you are
worried preoccupied about something Oh
God what if this happens oh I’m
concerned and worried so again if you
have a piece of paper and a pen get it
right these bits of vocabulary down many
people ask how can I learn vocabulary
how can I improve my vocabulary this is
how write it make your own sentences
it’s the best way of learning vocabulary
I promise you so the next one is threat
what is a threat a threat is something
likely to cause danger so for example
and why I can only think of space right
now people say if you flirt if you fly
in space there is a threat of radiation
why is the only the only example I can
think of space if you can think of an
example with threat let me know oh there
we go this is easily HIV is a threat to
humans
it causes danger so men is saying this
is freaking scary they won’t just stop
with making sure the baby is healthy
great point Simon we’re going to talk
about that in a moment yeah so also
pronunciation threat I know it’s a to
sound so that’s difficult try to say it
with me threat threat say it slowly then
say it quickly that might help threat
yeah so yeah HIV is a threat to
human health pose yes one meaning of
pose is like what models do to do this I
am posing however in this context it’s
different it collocates with certain
words to pose it means to present to
appear as usually something bad for
example you pose a problem posed a
so usually it’s bad pose a problem a
threat or danger these are negative
however pose a question if you want to
ask if you say okay this research is
very important but it poses a question
of ethics IV star is saying Chris Burke
s 9 it is a is a discovery not an
invention yeah this is true aris lane
Oliveira Boston era is a threat good
example yeah he’s a dick
Lucas Voldemort was a threat to Harry
Potter absolutely
great example plastic bags threat
threats nature feeder English great
example but it’s different so threat is
a noun
if you want a verb it’s threatened
threatened not threat threat is a noun
yeah ok next one risk is a situation
involving danger or the way I would
describe it it’s a chance of danger
if you bungee jump or skydive there is a
risk a chance of death I’m okay I’m not
dying a promise
yeah a risk it’s a chance of danger um
if you have a question again you can use
the super chat because the comments are
yes that’s a risk next one to outweigh
this is a great word if you something
outweighs something that’s the structure
you’re saying this is more important
more significant than this this
outweighs this in this case it was and
the risks outweigh the benefits in other
words the risks and more than the
benefits if we think of a balanced thing
right it weighs more it’s more important
it’s more significant it outweighs the
benefits again try to write your example
of outweigh in the comments I want to
read your examples what concerned means
in the phrase as far as I’m concerned
great question duck and as far as I’m
concerned is another way of saying in my
opinion quite simple and it should be
thought of as a fixed expression you
won’t say as far as I’m worried no it’s
a fixed expression as far as I’m
concerned in my opinion it’s the same
thing let’s see sure say Papa teach me
videos are a threat to my American
accent interesting interesting
Fabio corruption is a threat yeah
absolutely
rika-chan outweigh doesn’t need
prepositions no it doesn’t have a
preposition this outweighs this that’s
it Oh Leo’s saying Ally’s lessons
outweigh English lessons at university
but yeah thank you yeah
rooks identies saying baby’s future is
outweighs than designing them a bit
confused there
with that sentence so you want to say a
baby’s future outweighs designing them
you don’t need van you don’t need a
preposition in answer to your sentence
and Ducks question yeah cool cool okay
so next one are susceptible it means
you’re likely to be influenced or harmed
by something you’re open to danger you
are naked and something can attack you
or influence you um for example if you
follow American politics
they said that Donald Trump was
susceptible to Russian influence but for
many reasons I don’t like him either but
Basilio Sottero says hi great bald man
Rafi Ranjin Singh is saying vulnerable
yes susceptible vulnerable they mean the
same thing yeah absolutely okay let’s
continue making changes in human DNA
that could be passed down for
generations has been long considered off
limits one reason is that a mistake
could introduce a new disease that could
be passed down for generations another
is that it could open the door to
designer babies children that are
modified for non-medical reasons such as
to be taller stronger or smarter right
so last two bits of vocabulary then
we’ll discuss it off limits and pass
down off-limits
it means it’s forbidden it’s not allowed
in this case changing human DNA is
considered off limits you don’t change
human DNA that’s why they’re saying like
you guys pointed out it’s a question of
ethics it posed
is the question of ethics another
question another piece of vocabulary
passed down you give something to your
children may be genetically like in this
case you can pass down a disease you can
pass down intelligence they inherit what
you pass to your children so it could be
genetic it could be physical for example
if you your family has a piece of
jewelry or a ring you when you die I’m
dying take this ring my child give it to
your children they will give it to their
children you pass it down through the
generations Kregel oh you’re basically
single-handedly financing my channel
thanks man English is outweigh my
lectures at the Uni different should be
English oh it depends what you mean
actually English outweighs my lectures
at uni although I’m not really sure what
you’d mean by that it’s open to
oh okay Dee Raj Kumar Singh is saying
dwarfism can be passed down or inherited
yes absolutely great example nadezhda
grete
english school IQ is passed down for
children absolutely
rika-chan i want to pass down my hate
for phrase effects
great example yeah rub a bike oh just
love your videos showing us my students
hearts for you and back in Brazil after
living 14 years in Chelsea you lived in
Chelsea how rich are you rubber biker
whoa Congrats stephanie is saying I
passed on my artistic skills to my
daughter but also my old granny grumpy
mood we all have that being being grumpy
Fabio is saying maybe it’s a silly
question but could outweigh be
considered a phrasal verb no out–we is
not a phrasal verb may because it’s got
the preposition out but no it’s one word
it has a specific meaning no it’s not
phrasal verb but it’s a it’s not a silly
question there are no silly questions
I’ve got hiccups do one more con con –
Rieger just saying our ancestors passed
down their DNA absolutely
yes absolutely okay Lucia is a great a
great example here it’s hypocritical to
consider experimenting with humans off
limits when we dominate and experiment
every other species so Antrim and throw
and throw and throw percent Rick and
speech species list that’s an
interesting point yeah cool I love your
debates in the comments all of you guys
have really interesting debates I love
them you guys are the best
have I ever told you that that you guys
are the best it’s for you guys you’re
amazing
cool okay yeah so designer babies what
do we think I want to talk to some of
you so if you haven’t already you can
add me to Skype talk with Ally
I want to talk to some of you let’s have
I’m checking your skype messages right
if I call you lid for Nadia turn your
YouTube to mute because otherwise we’ll
hear a echo it’ll be crazy I don’t know
if you’re gonna answer either did you
get nervous I think she got nervous I
okay if you asked me to call you pick
shrink up there because it’s weird and
I’m just staring at my scream like an
idiot okay so I’m from Belgium whoa we
haven’t spoken to someone from Belgium
okay
let’s talk to oh yeah Oh God
my battery’s dying hello Olli oh hello
there yeah hello alia how are you oh
great and you I’m super I’m super duper
and oh well I can see you as well they
can’t see you but I can so hi
so alia tell me what do you think of
this story designer babies good idea or
bad idea well as we know like we can
remove all these disease so why not
right okay so someone said in the
comments
it won’t stop at treating disease mm-hmm
so what do you think of that
how come well it think about it yes just
for designing I say thinking that is not
necessary that is not where we should
put our money and effort okay oh are you
saying that public money shouldn’t fund
this oh yeah absolutely
okay what about private companies who do
it aha
so maybe but why I cannot see any point
okay
okay so let me pose this pose this
question to you okay you are a rich person who thinks

I picked up a cold from my visit to my
friend yes that’s great that’s great
that’s a great example well done well
done sir hail el Taha sorry if I
pronounce your name wrong
I’m rubbish at everything especially
pronunciate prayer pronouncing people’s
names terrible so what do you think
about this M thoughts/opinions
McDonald’s then we love them hate them
do we wear the t-shirt I’m kidding this
is from Uniqlo I love Uniqlo more than
McDonald’s yeah okay so next story we’re
gonna look at their next story which is
one second because I need to show you
one thing where’s my this yes this if
you want to talk to me today there
that’s my Skype ID if you want to talk
on skype ad talk with ally um send me a
message
what’s your name where are you from what
is your message and if you want to talk
during this live stream I can call you
we’re going to talk to a few of you and
I’m really looking forward to it because
we always have fun it’s amazing okay so
the next story is of course super babies
China has apparently created a super
baby not a baby that can fly but super
nonetheless so have you heard about this
story it’s crazy Chinese scientists
created a genetically modified baby
sometimes they call them designer babies
which is when a parent can choose do I
want my child to be male or female
do I want blonde hair or brown hair do I
want freckles or no freckles do I want
blue eyes brown eyes what do I want
so let me know let me know what you
think first
it’s about designer babies because
that’s weird
to begin with and secondly let’s read
the article together okay so the
headline is Chinese scientists says he’s
the first to create a genetically
modified babies using CRISPR he jjang
jjang jjang Kui again rubbish
pronouncing names I’m sorry of the
Southern University of Science and
Technology in shenzhen china says his
team performed gene surgery on embryos
created from their parents sperm and
eggs to protect the children from HIV
which causes AIDS the children’s father
is HIV positive so there is a chance to
give it to the the kid so the first two
bits of vocabulary CRISPR and sperm what
is CRISPR CRISPR is a gene editing
machine maybe you’ve seen this in the
news the easiest way to explain it you
can take someone’s DNA edit that DNA and
replace it with healthy DNA in this case
if there is a part which is responsible
for a disease they can remove that
replace it with a clean piece of DNA so
if you’re a biologist let me know I want
to talk to you about this because this
is a huge story huge it could
potentially change humans it could be
could it create x-men could this create
x-men who knows hmm okay lúcia is saying
designer babies are not worse than
breeding dogs it’s even better since the
parents have given consent interesting
yes a dog can’t give consent that it’s
true Ricardo is saying good news our
babies could be resistant to certain
illnesses very true in this case
HIV Masai say it doesn’t seem Ithaca
to design humans right this is this is
the debate is it ethical
is it right and is there a line is there
a limit that is the huge debate here
between scientists between doctors so
that’s what we’re going to just discuss
and duck is saying if a father is HIV
positive then there’s a high highly rate
Maria with this technology we could
avoid so many illnesses yeah so many
opinions from both sides let’s continue
more vocab a perm this is gonna be fun
so how can I describe sperm without this
video being flagged as adult it’s for
education should be fine okay sperm
these were the best words I found on
Google for synonyms of sperm semen
seminal fluid from the penis seed which
is fun ejaculate or my favorite one
emission emission that’s a great name I
think everyone should call it emission
from now on yeah so a man’s emission
don’t ever call it that okay so let’s
continue a CRISPR pioneer at MIT MIT is
a university in the United States
Michigan instituting Michigan
Mississippi not Mississippi Michigan
Institute technology I might be wrong
anyway this guy has concerns although I
appreciate the global threat posed by
HIV at this stage the risks of editing
embryos to fight HIV seem to outweigh
the potential benefits
he noted that editing the same gene
responsible for HIV will likely make a
person much more susceptible for West
Nile virus very interesting so before we
continue there
bits of vocabulary I’ve got concern
threat pose risk outweigh and
susceptible and what do they mean so
threat whoops I’m sorry a concern is a
worry if you have a concern you are
worried preoccupied about something Oh
God what if this happens oh I’m
concerned and worried so again if you
have a piece of paper and a pen get it
right these bits of vocabulary down many
people ask how can I learn vocabulary
how can I improve my vocabulary this is
how write it make your own sentences
it’s the best way of learning vocabulary
I promise you so the next one is threat
what is a threat a threat is something
likely to cause danger so for example
and why I can only think of space right
now people say if you flirt if you fly
in space there is a threat of radiation
why is the only the only example I can
think of space if you can think of an
example with threat let me know oh there
we go this is easily HIV is a threat to
humans
it causes danger so men is saying this
is freaking scary they won’t just stop
with making sure the baby is healthy
great point Simon we’re going to talk
about that in a moment yeah so also
pronunciation threat I know it’s a to
sound so that’s difficult try to say it
with me threat threat say it slowly then
say it quickly that might help threat
yeah so yeah HIV is a threat to
human health pose yes one meaning of
pose is like what models do to do this I
am posing however in this context it’s
different it collocates with certain
words to pose it means to present to
appear as usually something bad for
example you pose a problem posed a
so usually it’s bad pose a problem a
threat or danger these are negative
however pose a question if you want to
ask if you say okay this research is
very important but it poses a question
of ethics IV star is saying Chris Burke
s 9 it is a is a discovery not an
invention yeah this is true aris lane
Oliveira Boston era is a threat good
example yeah he’s a dick
Lucas Voldemort was a threat to Harry
Potter absolutely
great example plastic bags threat
threats nature feeder English great
example but it’s different so threat is
a noun
if you want a verb it’s threatened
threatened not threat threat is a noun
yeah ok next one risk is a situation
involving danger or the way I would
describe it it’s a chance of danger
if you bungee jump or skydive there is a
risk a chance of death I’m okay I’m not
dying a promise
yeah a risk it’s a chance of danger um
if you have a question again you can use
the super chat because the comments are
yes that’s a risk next one to outweigh
this is a great word if you something
outweighs something that’s the structure
you’re saying this is more important
more significant than this this
outweighs this in this case it was and
the risks outweigh the benefits in other
words the risks and more than the
benefits if we think of a balanced thing
right it weighs more it’s more important
it’s more significant it outweighs the
benefits again try to write your example
of outweigh in the comments I want to
read your examples what concerned means
in the phrase as far as I’m concerned
great question duck and as far as I’m
concerned is another way of saying in my
opinion quite simple and it should be
thought of as a fixed expression you
won’t say as far as I’m worried no it’s
a fixed expression as far as I’m
concerned in my opinion it’s the same
thing let’s see sure say Papa teach me
videos are a threat to my American
accent interesting interesting
Fabio corruption is a threat yeah
absolutely
rika-chan outweigh doesn’t need
prepositions no it doesn’t have a
preposition this outweighs this that’s
it Oh Leo’s saying Ally’s lessons
outweigh English lessons at university
but yeah thank you yeah
rooks identies saying baby’s future is
outweighs than designing them a bit
confused there
with that sentence so you want to say a
baby’s future outweighs designing them
you don’t need van you don’t need a
preposition in answer to your sentence
and Ducks question yeah cool cool okay
so next one are susceptible it means
you’re likely to be influenced or harmed
by something you’re open to danger you
are naked and something can attack you
or influence you um for example if you
follow American politics
they said that Donald Trump was
susceptible to Russian influence but for
many reasons I don’t like him either but
Basilio Sottero says hi great bald man
Rafi Ranjin Singh is saying vulnerable
yes susceptible vulnerable they mean the
same thing yeah absolutely okay let’s
continue making changes in human DNA
that could be passed down for
generations has been long considered off
limits one reason is that a mistake
could introduce a new disease that could
be passed down for generations another
is that it could open the door to
designer babies children that are
modified for non-medical reasons such as
to be taller stronger or smarter right
so last two bits of vocabulary then
we’ll discuss it off limits and pass
down off-limits
it means it’s forbidden it’s not allowed
in this case changing human DNA is
considered off limits you don’t change
human DNA that’s why they’re saying like
you guys pointed out it’s a question of
ethics it posed
is the question of ethics another
question another piece of vocabulary
passed down you give something to your
children may be genetically like in this
case you can pass down a disease you can
pass down intelligence they inherit what
you pass to your children so it could be
genetic it could be physical for example
if you your family has a piece of
jewelry or a ring you when you die I’m
dying take this ring my child give it to
your children they will give it to their
children you pass it down through the
generations Kregel oh you’re basically
single-handedly financing my channel
thanks man English is outweigh my
lectures at the Uni different should be
English oh it depends what you mean
actually English outweighs my lectures
at uni although I’m not really sure what
you’d mean by that it’s open to
oh okay Dee Raj Kumar Singh is saying
dwarfism can be passed down or inherited
yes absolutely great example nadezhda
grete
english school IQ is passed down for
children absolutely
rika-chan i want to pass down my hate
for phrase effects
great example yeah rub a bike oh just
love your videos showing us my students
hearts for you and back in Brazil after
living 14 years in Chelsea you lived in
Chelsea how rich are you rubber biker
whoa Congrats stephanie is saying I
passed on my artistic skills to my
daughter but also my old granny grumpy
mood we all have that being being grumpy
Fabio is saying maybe it’s a silly
question but could outweigh be
considered a phrasal verb no out–we is
not a phrasal verb may because it’s got
the preposition out but no it’s one word
it has a specific meaning no it’s not
phrasal verb but it’s a it’s not a silly
question there are no silly questions
I’ve got hiccups do one more con con –
Rieger just saying our ancestors passed
down their DNA absolutely
yes absolutely okay Lucia is a great a
great example here it’s hypocritical to
consider experimenting with humans off
limits when we dominate and experiment
every other species so Antrim and throw
and throw and throw percent Rick and
speech species list that’s an
interesting point yeah cool I love your
debates in the comments all of you guys
have really interesting debates I love
them you guys are the best
have I ever told you that that you guys
are the best it’s for you guys you’re
amazing
cool okay yeah so designer babies what
do we think I want to talk to some of
you so if you haven’t already you can
add me to Skype talk with Ally
I want to talk to some of you let’s have
I’m checking your skype messages right
if I call you lid for Nadia turn your
YouTube to mute because otherwise we’ll
hear a echo it’ll be crazy I don’t know
if you’re gonna answer either did you
get nervous I think she got nervous I
okay if you asked me to call you pick
shrink up there because it’s weird and
I’m just staring at my scream like an
idiot okay so I’m from Belgium whoa we
haven’t spoken to someone from Belgium
okay
let’s talk to oh yeah Oh God
my battery’s dying hello Olli oh hello
there yeah hello alia how are you oh
great and you I’m super I’m super duper
and oh well I can see you as well they
can’t see you but I can so hi
so alia tell me what do you think of
this story designer babies good idea or
bad idea well as we know like we can
remove all these disease so why not
right okay so someone said in the
comments
it won’t stop at treating disease mm-hmm
so what do you think of that
how come well it think about it yes just
for designing I say thinking that is not
necessary that is not where we should
put our money and effort okay oh are you
saying that public money shouldn’t fund
this oh yeah absolutely
okay what about private companies who do
it aha
so maybe but why I cannot see any point
okay
okay so let me pose this pose this
question to you okay you are a rich person who thinks
