  • And this isn't a one time thing. Not a cure.

    Source? Once the target DNA sequence has been edited there shouldn't be any need for repeated treatment. The clinical study didn't have repeated treatments, and found over 90% success in completely eliminating SCD-related events. Cure is a bit of a stretch, but it's pretty damn close based on the data we have so far.

  • The basic functioning of crispr, including sequences, is public knowledge already. The difficult part is turning that into a functional gene editing system that doesn't give everyone cancer. A few hundred bucks might get you one semi-functional used centrifuge, it definitely will not provide a whole lab any time in the next several decades. More importantly, it won't pay the people who know how to develop functional and safe gene editing tech.

    We can synthesize DNA and there are even really cool projects that have used it to build complex 3D nanostructures, but idk what you're talking about with 3 shades and a toner. DNA synthesis and 3D printing are very different, and the former doesn't use shades or toner.

  • to be an overtly hatefuly or bigoted person is to ignore the core teachings of christianity

    And yet the history of Christianity is filled with hatred, and bloodshed. It's almost like the "core teachings" are a smoke screen for the accumulation and abuse of power.
