Scubus

Guy gets from point a to point b instantly.

Superman gets to point b before ge leaves point a.

This guys feats are ridiculous. He is faster than the speed force, he can lift infinite weight, he can hear instantly thousands of lightyears away through the vacuum of space, he can punch backwards through time or into other universes or even through his own comic panels. Also, im not positive, but im pretty sure superman can teleport. And darkseid killed him.

I nominate this for the greatest comic of all time

Superman and darkseid can both react retroactively, unfortunately. They are both faster than causality.

Oh wow, great resources. I finally had the chance to reread through the articles and that study, and thats absurdly exciting!

It's crazy that the story about the chinese doctor partially played a role in getting the fda to sign off on that. I can't wait for more research into miostatin and whether it's truly a safe gene to edit.

Also thats where a lot of my fear comes in for these projects. Obv gene editing is a massively useful tool, and for "fixing" genes its pretty safe, but what I want to see is crazy "unnatural" edits, so long as they're safe. It's just difficult to research these edits in depth because historically there hasnt really been a legal route to research these edits afaik

Ah yes, exactly the insights I was hoping for! I studied that back in high school, so it was a bit difficult to recall the terminology. I'm going to reread the article, but with that in mind if we now have the technology to safely apply crispr in body that is awesome! I recall it uses an engineered retrovirus to deliver the "payload" so im curious how they targeted it.

Both very good points. I didn't mean to portray it as though consent was unimportant here, but I meant that even with consent I figured airing this would result in this doctors medical license being revoked. Did he get the consent (sorry) of the medical community?

Edit:also still curious about this being the "first" case

I don't have an agenda, but the post states that it is the first case of personalized human gene editing. Was the chinese doctor's not "personalized"?

1. Fair enough

2. ... fair enough? It would seem that its either good or bad and the odds of death being high shouldn't effect whether it's a good or bad idea. If i misunderstanding lmk

3. From my understanding, thats not really the issue. Humanity has decided that gene editing is not to be fucked with, have we not? I used to study gene editing and from everything I read and heard it would be universally illegal for me to edit an embryo and then implant it under any circumstances. Has that changed? Did I misunderstand in the first place?

I've always been very pro gene editing, but I want to to be approached as safely as possible. I'd prefer for it to only be done on consenting adults, and in such a way that any altered genes are non contagious and non hereditary. I guess I do kinda have a dog in this race, but only insofar as I don't want rogue scientists bringing negative press to a positive tool, or the resulting damage to life those rogue scientists can do.

I dunno, i once discharged a battery and then threw it at my brother. He seemed pretty hurt.

To someone who is knows more: how does this differ both biologically and ethically from the chinese doctor who used crispr to edit two twins in order to make them less suspectible to HIV? Just curious what the communities take is

One of them has the potential to prove someones innocence...

Thats my secret, no one loves me
