CRISPR is for cutting, not reading or writing.
dont you try to out pedant me
Lean in.
Cas9 is the endonuclease. CRISPR refers to DNA sequences responsible for 'guide' RNA. Something else made the sequence to be inserted. The cell's repair mechanism ligates the ends back together.
Crispr is how I tell McDonald's I want my fries but what I receive is some fucked up mutation of what I expected.
The least plausible thing about this is that declining is a straight forward "deny" vs some "not now" bullshit.
Idk man my phone has that exact prompt when asking for permissions
The least plausible thing is the complete lack of just "accept"
Oh shit I didn't even notice that. I think you're right.
A whole new breed of pressure-based sales. "TikTok analysis has identified 53 genes that are keeping you from looking your best. Our certified CRISPR-Techs are standing by to splice in the genetic codes that will give you the jawline and cheekbones that will get you followers. It's like a photo filter for real life."
On first glance I legit thought this comment was spam. Good job.
Hell yeah, who doesn't wanna be a splicer?
What's frustrating is 99% of TikTok users would just be like "YES! Just show me the next video!"
Nah, the big danger isn't for another few generations.
In the meantime, there will fe a gew generations of lucky ducks who just get the medical benefits without all the eugenics.
Will it be a duel between iGenes and Google Gattaca, or will it all be folded (ha) into a Prime subscription.
At least this makes me feel better about not having kids. no shame in my geneticist appointment. Just gotta not commit a capital crime now
Didn't know there were boomers on lemmy. Good phone bad meme🙄
