Can the Lord’s return be far away?
Seriously, the main difference between CRISPR and other gene editing technologies is the hype. We have had the technology to alter genomes for a long time; we do not use them on humans.
This scientist He was looking for publicity, nothing more.
Influenza kills far more Chinese than AIDS. Many Chinese have a variant of the major histocompatibility comp!ex, a protein involved in immune function, that makes them very susceptible to severe effects of influenza infection. Why didn’t He go after that, and potentially save more people?
Also, I find it highly disturbing that there is evidence of genetic testing of preborn babies up to 6 months old. That opens the possibility that He has been killing babies for research.
odd choice of a disease to modify for...
arthritis?
Some cancers?
ALS?
But HIV?

Won’t be long till short lived slaves will be the item.
