Is there anyone here who studied biology and can tell me how close we are too discovering genetic manipulation

[Beastimmung]

This will be the biggest paradigm shift in the history of humanity since the personal computer

I hope they never discover it nigga

Same but if they do you gotta go with the times

It already exists

The problem is “ethical” limitations

Until it becomes usable on a large scale I mean

Will only be available to the rich, it'll take a shit tone of time till it'll be available to everyone, wed be long dead till then

China is retarted if this is true.

The first nation that goes all in on this will be the new superpower

Eugenics?

 

[Lulleko]

We barely know which genes are responsible for which traits, the best we can do is select embryos for superficial traits like eye color.

 

[Beastimmung]

Eugenics?

Eugenics is already possible.

China is more open to it than the west

I’m normally not one of the schizo conspiracy theorist types. But I assume there’s a lot of research going into it that we don’t know about

There was an Italian doctor, Sergio canavero I think. He got kicked from his university in Italy for performing research on head transplants. He’s gone to China to work on it now

From what i have read we can already do it but it is not used because of ethics and we don't know the impact it could have on health and shit

Gene-editing means genocide. (gene)-(o)-(cide). The extermination of genes

The first nation that experiments with gene-editing(genocide) will produce unfortunate freaks of nature

 

[Crusile]

Op significant gene editing is only possible at the species level, we would have to create a new non-human species
