what science and man are up to today

MARCH 19, 2015

A group of leading biologists on Thursday called for a worldwide moratorium on use of a new genome-editing technique that would alter human DNA in a way that can be inherited.

The biologists fear that the new technique is so effective and easy to use that some physicians may push ahead before its safety can be assessed. They also want the public to understand the ethical issues surrounding the technique, which could be used to cure genetic diseases, but also to enhance qualities like beauty or intelligence. The latter is a path that many ethicists believe should never be taken.

"You could exert control over human heredity with this technique, and that is why we are raising the issue,” said David Baltimore, a former president of the California Institute of Technology and a member of the group whose*paper*on the topic was published in the journal Science.

Ethicists, for decades, have been concerned about the dangers of altering the human germline — meaning to make changes to human sperm, eggs or embryos that will last through the life of the individual and be passed on to future generations. Until now, these worries have been theoretical. But a technique invented in 2012 makes it possible to edit the genome precisely and with much greater ease. The technique has already been used to edit the genomes of mice, rats and monkeys, and few doubt that it would work the same way in people.The technique holds the power to repair or enhance any human gene...."

Sounds like the kind of advanced science this forum specializes in..good find, OP.

[Blake]

I'm counting on this sub forum of a basketball forum to deliver thorough and deep thoughted responses as to what this means for the advancement in the field of genetic research and also what the moral implications might be 25, 50, 100, 1000 years from now.

There goes all the sports records.

Imagine 6-4 270 pound running backs running a 4.25 40, wow~ 8 foot centers in the NBA, WHOA~~~~~~~~~~

I can see it now..

Due to the size and strenght of todays athletes, we can no longer play the game of football. The game was never meant to be played by players over 400 pounds who can run a 4.6 40.

[Blake]

Oh look. Avante is talking about sprinters in a thread. Didn't see that coming.

[spurraider21]

Inb4 I am Legend becomes a true story

[Avante]

When ya posted this ya never thought about what I brought up did ya little guy?

[Blake]

Oh look. You edited it.

and it still sucks.

[Avante]

Oh look. You edited it.

Dude, why are you always so uptight, well? Relax little guy,ok? Chill.

Why don't you start Blake?

[Pauly D]

Goodbye every single black characteristic. I'd like to welcome you to a future dreamed about by Adolf Hitler thanks to the work of science and put into place by the preferences of every culture on earth

Why would people what the inferior white physique, when they can have a faster, more exposive one? What man wants a 6 inch cock when you can have a 9 inch cock?

[Blake]

Why don't you start Blake?

Eh, it's more of a fascinating, informational piece on just how far we've come in genetics research.

This new technique used to modify genes is so easy to do but still so new that the inventor is pleading others to hold off using it until the scientific community can determine if there might be any dangerous risks to human lines.

And of course there's the usual quick blurb about religious nuts that don't want scientists to play god at all....which is just another example of how religion continues to hold us back.

The first thing isn't a black characteristic, it's a characteristic blacks tend to have more often than others. Know the difference. The second thing, assuming the myth created by porn is true, isn't even something that'd be up for choice. And if it were it's only something men obsess about.

won't happen and won't go anywhere. the end is very very near.

[ChumpDumper]

You ever play football, run track, work out in a gym? Dude, those with roots to western Africa were blessed with more muscle density than all others on this planet, that is a fact, ok? Not even up for debate. They have a unique physique, studies have proven this fact.

And if you have played football, ran track you know it's no myth. And if you think it doesn't matter to women you've never been with one.

[Clipper Nation]

Hopefully the gene that led to Avante's old faggotry can be edited out.

Not my problem you were too stupid to stick to the conditions you established.

After this post, the next person between us who mentions anything about track and field, blues music, wrestling or weightlifting will be forever banned from this site and all discussion sites for eternity.....STARTING NOW!!!!!!

[Avante]

Tell me again about how Dri Archer sucks after ONE game, but we need THREE seasons to really get a true read.


Hhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dumb fuck.

[Avante]

I'm sorry Avante, you can't post anymore.

You have no friends do you?

[ChumpDumper]

You have no friends do you?Rules are rules. Please leave peacefully and never post anywhere ever again.

Tell me more about how Trent "Bust" Richardson needs more time :lmao

[Avante]

Tell me more about how Trent "Bust" Richardson needs more time :lmao

I'll try again...

CN, how can you be critical of Dri Archer after just a couple games like ya were, when you says it takes three seasons to get a real read, well? Answer the question, oh yeah....faggot! can't forget....faggot!

Until you answer the question ya dumb fuck, this is all you'll get from me.

Who knew Blake would start a topic about Creation.

Lol Bible beater

So right off the bat your disqualifying yourself?



as to what this means for the advancement in the field of genetic research

It means your Science buddies become creationists.





and also what the moral implications might be 25, 50, 100, 1000 years from now.



What makes you think the world will survive 50 years?

Do you not keep up with current events?

Water is disappearing rapidly. Food is becoming GMO poison.

Do you realize how many nations have nukes?

Isis tonight could capture a nuke attack China and it's all over.

Dude your lucky your ape acting ancestors haven't acted sooner.

If the world last 20 years it would be major miracle something your kind don't admit you believe in.


Besides what do you really care about human life you support a universe that just exploded from nothing and life that has no purpose or meaning, you should be in a warm pool of liquid waiting to expire so your bacteria buddies may feed a wiggly creature with no eyes.and in just two billion years we have another closed minded Blake to deal with.
