The same folks who won't go near "genetically modified" food will surely be just fine with this.

Goal #1...white males cannot be allowed to be born.

Wow X-men could be real. BTW,couldnt "X-men" be another name for trannys? Maybe the left is getting confused by the movie which is why they want them in the military.

Gee—And Hitler was supposed to be evil incarnate.

What happens to the GMO human if things don’t go according to theory?

If his department even has a mission statement, I’d like to read it.

Portland. It figures. Seat of wickedness.

Help locate your kids when they're out after dark. Science is wonderful

I wonder if this process can be used to validate the existence of the “gay gene”. What will be the hue and cry when this process is used to edit out this so-called “gene”.
And what will really be the hue and cry when it’s reported that after 10 years use no such “gene” has ever appeared!

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

[bgill]

Another case of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

[Buttons12]

Ick.
Or maybe not. The sooner we get a means of editing our cells, the better. Then we can choose skin color and find other things to fight about.
Besides, some day I may want cosmetic alterations and I’d rather have it done with a needle and med, than a needle and thread.

Good grief, humans who are about to begin to “play God”.

I love third party family making. My own child comes from an unwanted adopted embryo.

AND I TELL YOU CREATING GMO EMBRYOS IS A WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE for no good reason.

People do have sad stories of children born with devastating conditions that may have been genetic. So?? Life isn’t easy.

Most embryos, and the percentage could be 99%, created with drastic DNA issues, WONT MAKE IT to the second trimester. They just can’t. A few genetic issues allow birth, like some Down syndrome babies. They are the lucky, the few.

Also, most parents can continue making embryos on their own and try again, possibly have a healthier child.

On top of that, there is PGD and other genetic tests performed on either the egg or the full embryo, allowing the couple to know that the embryo they are going to carry will be pretty healthy.

That is enough. Each embryo doesn’t need to be “improved upon” by genetic modification. The parents have others. And if a couple has no healthy embryos, THEN THEY CAN USE OTHER, DONATED EMBRYOS out of the thousands in freezers all over the world, or Even adopt born children.

It is not worth genetically modifying “aneuploid” or broken embryos. Nature weeds out the really bad ones and we can test them before implantation too. There is no real upside to this disturbing science.
