THEY HAVE THE HUGE FUCKING POTENTIAL TO BE PASSED ON AND YOU QUESTION WHY.

Hereditary means they must be passed on, which is impossible. But the issue is infertility. The people wouldnt be able to mate in the first place. The damage would be done within the first generation.

@Quix but not the mix of planned parent and feminism that has pushed reproduction to well below replacement levels while most of our industries poison us in ways that have reduced the average sperm count to less then 25% of what it was a century ago, with adults in their prime having less testosterone then a man over 100 years old as well, damaged dna in both sperm and eggs and ever escalating birth defects?

@Skeptisk that's an insane statement. Of course not but Gene Editing is not a solution to that. Stopping to fuck everyone without a rubber is a beginning.

but since some states already made the legality of infecting people with HIV less illegal, it doesn't help

I was one of the kids that got wacky treatments for my shit, BUT NOT BEFORE IT WENT THROU PROPER FUCKING TESTING.

It shows...

God, watch that Video!

your insanity shows

I know he's kinda annoying but he wrote a book about the human race beeing destroyed by gene editing.

Wanting to get rid of hereditary diseases = insane in Stefan's mind. Ok...

Holy shit I had an amazing jerk

THE CONSEQUENCES

Im sweating

and also Sience Fictian already talked about Gene Editing -> Asgaard in Stargate.

THE
C O N S E Q U E N C E S

yeah, show me the Asgard in Season 10 of SG-1

WOOO!! 😅

Stefan, that's science fiction...

No, its about Morals.

@Stefan Payne *they will never learn about the consequences of their actions*

and it shows what could happen.

So, you draw your morality from television-shows.

@Skeptisk What were first? The Electric doors we see in every store today or their presentation in Science Fiction??

Yeah, and others draw it from the bible, not much difference.

@Skeptisk no I draw it from the Bible

No, but sometimes they show a possible future that might actually happen.

And the conseqences are always mass-murder if not following the Great Leader.

and that some things we do might have some unforseen consequences.

for example you smoking has some consequences for you and also your children.

Well, the Nazi's banned smoking due to cancer....

do you guys listen to chapo

So??

In some cases its better to test a potential technology for a couple of decades in a laboratory and controlled enviroment instead of in the open.

and genocide everything

hey does anyone know the names of the songs that tim uses in his intros/outros?

but genocide is cool
