Economy 52,861 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 It's fascinating that we've reached abilities as advanced as taking DNA from 2 males to create an offspring, that we can edit genes and alter our food, make new breeds etc. Yet I also find it disturbing that we like to play God with nature this much More often than not we end up f*cking something up Ex: GMOs are harmless and will increase food yields etc blah blah blah... Decades later discover that GMO wheat has tougher gluten to digest than original wheat and causes all kinds of health problems for so many ppl particularly the ones sensitive to it forcing them to eat alternatives that sometimes have their own bad ingredients. Yay for progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryjanesdope 681 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 god i love science, of course people will always deem it playing god but we've been doing this for decades, gene editing is nothing new. cant wait to see where this goes like CRISPR. could eventually be the cure to so many diseases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatislaps 34,854 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I hope at some point the gays can actually be like "breed me daddy" and get biological kids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many genes affect other genes or have more than 1 affect. I can see a scenario where stuff starts to be edited to prevent something and inadvertently causes a different problem Many medical drugs we only find out terrible effects many years if not decades later, something like gene editing we may not know until these children grow up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
