- A 1996 Nature paper was highlighted describing a 33-nt guanine-rich DNA aptamer isolated by in vitro selection that catalyzes the insertion of Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ into mesoporphyrin IX, demonstrating early DNAzyme-mediated metalloporphyrin formation.  
- A 2023 Nature study on naked-mole-rat longevity was shared, showing that transgenic mice expressing the mole-rat hyaluronan synthase gene Has2 exhibit improved healthspan, implicating high-molecular-mass hyaluronan as a transferable longevity factor.  
- Discussion turned to the ethics and funding of artificial-womb technology, with participants speculating whether anti-abortion groups would finance ectogenesis to resolve the maternal–fetal conflict, noting that most such groups are religiously motivated and unlikely to support fetal cryonics or embryo adoption.  
- The channel debated the legal status of ex-utero gestated fetuses, including the prospect of lobbying to ensure artificial-womb–raised humanoids retain full human rights and the risk of embryos becoming de facto government property.  
- A brief exchange considered the feasibility of cloning or deriving gametes from preserved tissue of historical geniuses, specifically asking whether viable cells from Albert Einstein (whose brain is preserved in a jar) or his first wife Mileva Marić could be sequenced to produce offspring.
