CRISPR gene editing tech showing promise to edit DNA inside patients' bodies - the science fiction we have all been waiting for. Exciting to hear about science and medicine potentially restoring vision in the blind. What more will come !?

The civil war never really touched us… Hard to get fruit for a while, hard to get corn for a while. You know how it is…I woke up the next day and it was Monday, and I wondered if it meant I had to go into work. I mean, the reds had won, so _...Read More_

Where do we draw the line between improving life and creating 'designer baby's'? Aren't we making natural selection impossible and therefore enlarging the problem of overpopulation?

Well, this is like a coin with two sides. Potential of gene editing in science and medicine is huge, but there are also consequences. Similar to all of the great inventions ( dynamite, manipulating nuclear energy, computers and internet).

"By enabling rational programming of mammalian cell behavior, synthetic biology is driving innovation across biomedical applications. Using Cas9-variants as core as protein-based central processing units (CPUs) that control gene expression _...Read More_

I have shared other articles about this particular story and have been following [#CRISPR](/relevant/new/CRISPR) tech since it was first publicly written about, but these Chinese twins...truly stranger than fiction.

CRISPR, we’ve been hearing about this bio-gen company for a good 5 years now but when will it start to infiltrate everyday life?

"EncrypGen says it wants to build the Amazon of genetic material. The startup will let users put their DNA online, sell it to researchers or companies, and be paid in EncrypGen’s own cryptocurrency. It also made EncrypGen millions in _...Read More_

Can't wait to fuse with commercial breaks, DNA surveillance and my 15 hard drives. Gotta get a pet for backups 🦄 What would Benjamin do in the age of biological reproduction.
