- glasss 6y agoI also recall seeing an article recently on mice on the ISS that get really strong from some genetic tweaks IIRC. It always seems we don't hear much about these "breakthroughs" after the mice results do the rounds through the news organizations. That could also just mean I'm looking in the wrong places though.
- pault 6y agoYou probably do, it's just that the lab test breakthroughs were 20 years ago and now it's just a treatment.

- badconvincer 6y agoWe should really give death row inmates the option to be in scientific trials that are dangerous. I guess this could be misused if judges funnel people into the system explicitly to be used in these trials but I think it would be worth it if we could somehow prevent the above scenario from happening?
