      Of course it did. The person who did it was jailed in China. It is illegal to genome edit with federal funding in the US, but it is legal in private companies, because you can do anything for profit in the US.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?
