Funny, I don’t feel controlled. I mean I know I am by the fundamental laws of nature, but that’s a given. These guys just wanna play god but don’t wanna say it.
He’s known for using gene splicing on babies without consulting anyone in the scientific community first and was later found guilty of illegal practice of medicine. So, yeah lol
Honestly I’ve always been torn on this. We have an ethical duty to the generations to come. If we can insert genes to block genetic diseases and make people resistant to bacterial/viral disease we absolutely should.
However, I don’t think we can be trusted with this technology. It will be used to serve vain and racist ideologies. Also if we get into an arms race with the natural order we have to include every human. If we make People resistant to disease then those organisms will evolve to be more infectious. If not everyone has been altered to be more resistant then those without will be at risk. Currently this type of tech will only be used to benefit the wealthy.
Of course I guess that’s the issue with all human progress, when have we ever been ready to utilize our technologies for the greater good?
What is the greater good though, just keep hurtling our monkey bodies through the cosmos as far as we can, possibly with the help of robots? I think we need to ask ourselves a lot of questions about the technology we use to heal people. As it is right now it’s a very classist and racist system of who gets the current technology. I don’t see it getting particularly better in the future, and with even more advanced technology, then yes you are going to further drive a wedge between the people who live 160 years and the people who live 50 years.
This. The main issue in advanced technology like genetically modified corn or genome editing isn’t that it’s “counter nature” (the concept itself is irrational imo), but that they make capitalism worse
I forget which of the originals it was from … It wasn’t a romhack, it was OG like maybe yellow. But if you walk away from prof when he offers you the original 3 Pokemons, you have the option to choose Pikachu or prevent the Epstein class from ever existing.

All that talk about no longer being controlled by evolution, and he won’t even give the world cat girls? What a jerk.
Holy smokes, well then.
Oooh I was going to ask if that was that person.
Well here I came to imply that he might be a Nazi…
