    I look forward to Christians saying this is blasphemous and it subsequently being made illegal. As is tradition.

        Not cool wishing people death :/

        Plus it won’t be efficient as most cancer form after you’re not fertile anymore.

          I didn’t wish death, I said I hope Christians stick to their guns and refuse to believe in science like many already do.

          All they need is God, it would be hypocritical of them to rely on science which disproves their religion to save their life.

        Could you… I dunno, just talk to other Christians? Tell them they’re being silly on stem cells, women’s health, the age of the Earth, evolution, LGBTQ+ people, and much more?

        And could you please, please, please get them to finally actually read those Bibles gathering dust on their bookshelves? Help them discover for themselves that Jesus has a lot to say about hypocrisy and nothing to say about gay people? Maybe they’ll also discover that God doesn’t help those who help themselves, but instead commands his followers to help each other?

          I think the other Christians may have other issues that need resolving first if they believe that this is something that should be stopped or hindered.

            Christianity as a religion is laudable.

            Christianity as a political ideology is terrifying.

                I believe it can work inwardly and be separate from politics. In reality, though, I don’t think it can.

                  No, I mean they’re the same thing.

                  It’s a bunch of ideology, doctrine, a platform, people get irrationally defensive and tribal about it, 85% of people follow the same one their parents / peers do, etc etc.

                  Only difference is the top guy tends to be invisible and impossible to vote out.

        Because at some point one of the scientists learned how to reprogram somatic cells by experimenting on embryonic stem cells.

        Mostly it’s because the man who yells about God on the tv while demanding money for his 5th private jet said so, plus the south is represented in government by the best and brightest of its used car salesmen.

        Because they need a new outrage target.

        It’s not like there was any reason to be outraged about the lack of conservative indoctrination in schools either.

      Christian here and I think this is awesome! Some of us are ignorant, closed-minded dipshits and I am truly sorry. Truth be told, this Jesus guy was pretty great, but most of his fan club is fucking nuts.

    When is CRISPR going to grant me immortality god damnit. Every year that drips past is one less with my immortality guarantee.

    I want to be immortal even if it kills me.

      Even if it kills you? Seems Counterintuitive, it would only be logical if you are pursuing it from sheer effort and not because a bad batch got experimented on you. I hope your efforts for immortality go well. Please share your findings with the world

    Were they muscle cells before they were cancer cells?

    Because that seems like a problem if they weren’t.

      That’s the neat part, it doesn’t.

      Which is the problem when it reaches other healthy cells. That’d be the next stage of research.

      Potentially. You could engineer potatoes to produce more of certain starches and less moisture, so it would fry up crispier than normal.
