Dear God, NO.
Some lunatic will write some possibly underhanded-C-esque/probably just ignorant implementation of some modification which causes apoptosis after some chemical feedback loop.
At the very least, it needs to be understood and administered by licensed professionals. I'm not saying we need full blown-FDA trials spanning years (though there are very good arguments for that), but this can't be a direct to consumer market.
- wetpaws 9y agoWe don't need the regulations. We need this technology now, hell, we actually need this technology 20 years ago. If progress means death as a byproduct, than this death is totally welcome.
- eximius 9y agoDoctors, medical professionals with detailed knowledge of the body's chemistry, need this now. Joe Dirt, looking to make the next big thing on the street by causing your white blood cells to secrete fentanyl for a life-long high, does not. This technology is easily if not more dangerous than firearms. It is literally in the same class as chemical warfare. Desensitizing ourselves to that danger AND allowing any old schmuck to publish his flawed plasmid to a public store for anyone to try is criminally negligent.
