The disease is lack of kawaii, and the cure is catgirls.
Instance checks out haha
What if cat girls are the cure to all disease you ever think about that huh Jiankui He
Wrong emoji. Should’ve used >:3
that’s not an emoji

Potato potato
Why is it called the Unicode Emoticons Block when it only includes emojis? Checkmate atheist!
In furtherance of peace, I suggest the term 3mojicon. Also in furtherance of rage.

…are we sure he’s not doing any more human germ line gene editing without ethical approval or patient consent?
Meow >:)
Lmao, who’s this guy?
Legendary mad scientist. Does stuff that’s obviously unethical but not illegal (yet), gets caught, the authorities patch the law, and then he moves on to new mad science. Once went to jail for editing a baby’s genome.
He was found guilty of medical malpractice after gene editing babies by treating their embryos with CRISPR/Cas9. He claims that he was trying to make them resistant to HIV, and that medical ethics are preventing cures from being discovered, but his critics say that we know CRISPR is too unreliable to use on a genome the size of a human’s, and is more likely to introduce dangerous mutations than apply the intended change, hence why no one else has done this before.
“I need a human baby” is a very difficult sentence to start a conversation with. I don’t blame him for avoiding that awkward proposal.
Better to ask forgiveness than permission!
So why is he allowed to work in this field again? Seems wild
Making them resistant to HIV. How does he test it whether they actually are…?
Sequence them; he was bashing in a gene that we already know conveys HIV resistance (but not complete immunity), the ∆32 mutation. If sequencing shows that the babies have the mutation, and also don’t have any other negative mutations as a result of the experiment, then it was successful.
That ‘and also’ is the hard one to be sure about.
A scientist who has served time in prison for editing human genetics. It was with the intention of combatting HIV, but it seems to have been done with little to no regard for medical ethics, including misleading the parents of the babies involved and apparently putting them on the hook for the costs of the experiments if they pulled out
What is with the spamming? Is he cloning post?
Its just 4 posts. Relax. The guy in the pictures is a legendary psycho criminal that is the subject of lots of memery.
4 posts is like a quarter of all lemmy posts in a day
