Ukrainian cosmetic CRISPR clinic

[Sanguinius]

This Ukraine clinic is planning to offer cosmetic CRISPR services. Very interesting

Ukraine clinic plans to sell CRISPR enhancements: hair color, skin, & breast size - The Niche

Concern over possible misuse of CRISPR gene-editing has centered on heritable human modifications, a clinic is selling somatic enhancements.

Genetic engineer here....

Well, the current procedures and technologies may not be good enough to fully genetically engineer humans who are already in the adult stage. The reason behind this is that, your body already consists of trillions of cells and engineering every single one of them is near impossible. However, genetic engineering in the embryonic stage is possible because it deals with single cell. In fact, we do it everyday in animal models. While the chances of replicating the same results in human are very high, attempting to genetically engineer human embryos is strictly prohibited by international laws due to ethical regulations.

Furthermore, the delivery of the gene to the right spot in the body is a major challenge. You could accidentally mutate cells that you shouldn't mutate in the first place, and the final outcome would be tragic.

A promising approach is through engineering stem cells and then transplanting them into the body. Inside the body, they will become specialized cells (eye cells, muscle cells, liver cells etc) and start replicating. The new daughter cells will have the new genetic mutation and will be able to perform a new function and possess novel traits. But again, this method does not lead to as good results as engineering the entire body before adulthood (at an embryonic stage).

May be in 15-20 years from now it would be possible.

Honestly wouldn't mess around with cosmetic ukrainain CRISPR services which use stem cells to alter facial attractiveness. You're essentially a human lab rat since CRISPR has not been used or tested extensively on humans other than genetic diseases.

It will be over for most of use in 15-20 years, gonna need this stuff now brah. Unless it can reverse ageing

Just create supermodels theory. I wonder if modifying your kid to look like chad actually makes u a cuck chad worshiper.

so something easier would be to just go full cuck tbh jfl
