this is good stuff. what’s important for America is that the patents for useful new genes remain in the possession of US entities. This kind of thing will revolutionize medicine. We don’t want foreign competitors beating us to the punch here. Because the R&D was funded, in large part, by US tax payers, the US tax payers have a partial right to the patents IMO.

The article left out a very interesting quote by one of the scientists when he said, “Where is your God now Mother F***ers!?!?! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

In all seriousness there might be some good in this, but it still makes me concerned.

They’re going 2 make bacon with Omega-3 fats, or bananas containing vaccines.

It’s the future.

Please let me know when they identify the "lib-tard" gene, and figure out how to edit it out of the human genome.

Editing the genome: Scientists unveil new tools for rewriting the code of life

So that's how this happened.

I wish these guys would hurry up with the research and put something on the market.

I want some stem cell therapy that will make me tall, athletic and fast so I can play professional basketball before I die. (don’t go there Sunken Civ.)

I’m already so handsome I’d be in danger if I messed with editing that gene.
