    This is awesome, but what’s the political aspect? Just seems like great news anyone from any political side could get behind.

      Oh you sweet summer child.

    • Oh. It’s political. You think the far right will approve of “playing god” with Gene editing? Remember the shitstorm that stem cells caused like 15 or so years ago?

      I think this one rides the line tbh. My thinking was that it was put out by a government agency and I’m 99% sure there are some r’s that aren’t going to like it. I also think it’s great news though.

        Sadly, I think you’re right. Republicans will denounce it just like they denounced vaccines, which will make something that shouldn’t be political into a political issue. Ugh.
