Colored me triggered. This paragraph from “The 5 Technologies That Will Change The Future Of The Human Race” Forbes Magazine, Feb. 7, 2022.:
Much of the work being done with gene editing is in the field of healthcare. Among the most exciting current projects is the correction of DNA mutations which can lead to serious illnesses such as cancer or heart disease. But, perhaps more than with any other technology, there are a huge number of ethical and legal concerns as well as “what if” questions when it comes to genetic manipulation and editing. Genome editing in humans is currently banned in many countries, including much of Europe, as its long-term results are not understood.
I’m not sure if reporters who write nonsense like the bolded line above are naïve or simply forbidden from writing about what they must know is well underway. Any fool knows gene editing, specifically using CRISPR, is already being used in human beings. All it takes is a simple literature search to debunk this silly statement about the illegality of using CRISP to tailor-order certain physical and cognitive human features, especially for soldiers.
