Gene Editing

From what i understand "gene editing" is different to what we'd view as strain cross-pollination or whatever
Crispr is about to rip the system apart though, and is guess its what led to the article in first post in the thread?
Not sure how much more bizarre mutant weed the world really needs but here we go the genetic psychonaut era is upon us

growers have been crossbreeding for aeons (look at any flower), hydroponics were the shift with cannabis, nobody really caught on early antipsychotics were being degraded by its processes
gene editing must already be going on in labs across the world, places which don’t want people to know their agenda and operate outside recognised codes of conduct/ethics (not that there really are any to align to at that level of operation)
I assume gene editing to explode and throw up gains and horrific consequences - genes as holistic clusters - but if you carry a DNA sequence that causes much higher risks of early death (with new ways to edit safely), who wouldn’t be persuaded
therein lies the rub, aka gene editing Olympics and dinowars

This is the big Crispr story of the week I guess? If this stuff is mad enough for them to think they could kill off mosquitos then I dread to think what kind of stardog it could make.

The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?
If the case that SARS2 originated in a lab is so substantial, why isn’t this more widely known? As is now obvious, there are many people who have reason not to talk about it.

although i nodded off a couple of times before i got to the end, during the sciencey bit, but alarmingly plausiblethis is proper fucking hardcoreThe origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?

A lot of garbage is being written about the possibility of a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The fact is that we don’t have enough evidence to tell how SARS-CoV-2 got into humans…

The Lab Leak Theory Doesn’t Hold Up
The rush to find a conspiracy around the COVID-19 pandemic’s origins is driven by narrative, not evidence.

Will we ever know, fully? I doubt it. It’s what’s done with these theories and foreign interventions that’s a notch or 2 up the fear ladder, ie encircling China and constriction over containment
The legal nightmare of ethics seems like a cobweb over gene editing, ie easy to punch through
I assume it’s already underway, unchecked, completely unregulated and the worst is yet to come. Human disease management and agriculture are the perfect cover

Yeah that’s the scope/crux of all the inherent complexity. Isn’t this where AI and computing prowess is supposed to support progress (as opposed to growth)? Not to be a misanthropic bore, but the route is usually weaponisation, followed by some kind of treaty where all options are still stockpiled (see nuclear or Porton Down) just in case

seems like the chimera theory is steadily gaining credibility

Opinion | Where Did the Coronavirus Come From? What We Already Know Is Troubling. (Published 2021)
Even if the coronavirus did not emerge from a lab, the groundwork for a potential disaster had been laid for years, and learning its lessons is essential to preventing others.
Inside the risky bat-virus engineering that links America to Wuhan
China emulated US techniques to construct novel coronaviruses in unsafe conditions.
