Can we give the Republicans a heart and Democrats a brain?

I'd put my dinars on the quest for ramping up the sheeple subservient gene, an oxymoron I know, but can you ever be too safe

That is done by Flouride in the water. It is far cheaper than any gene manipulation.

Don't let the Democrats get ahold of this. They'll make everyone's DNA twist to the left no matter which end you start from.

Here's a quote from the article.

“It’s one of those things that you have to see to believe. I read the scientific papers like everyone else but when I saw it working in my own lab, my jaw dropped. A total novice in my lab got it to work,” Professor Mello said.

How cool is that? Soon 10 year old kids will be doing genetic engineering on their parents and themselves and the neighbors who come over for dinner. Everybody and their cat will be mutated. The Union of Concerned Gamers has just moved their Zombie Apocalypse Clock up to three minutes to midnight.

I want the gene for a printing press so I can grow my own fiat like that guy in the GEICO commercial.

I ran this by a biotech professor I know.

"It is huge. Once we learn all the defects that give rise to diseases, we will be able to use the technique to correct the defects and eliminate the disease. We will become our own surrogates, or become perfect like that old Twilight Zone episode. I am going to introduce the technique into a course that I teach to grad students entitled "Core Methods in Biotechnology".

Makes for a nice batch of Deltas.

This post needs a follow up, many incredible changes are taking place with this technology!

Breakthrough method means CRISPR just got a lot more relevant to human health
