Celebrities better walk around dressed like in a semiconductor fab lest millions of people steal their DNA.
Paternity lawsuits will be fun as well.
Why do modern startups always make the world a worse place to live in?
- hnhg 3y agoBecause technology advances quickly, but human nature does not.
- Metacelsus 3y agoStealing DNA isn't sufficient, you'd need to steal live cells.
- lockhouse 3y agoWhich still isn't particularly difficult. We shed live cells all the time.
- inglor_cz 3y agoImagine the situation when a well-meaning celebrity donates blood, someone unscrupulous steals a vial of it, and, a year later ... that poor guy has several hundred kids and is actually their mother. Could be done, if you have a reliable method of turning human white blood cells back to stem cells and then to ova.
- analog31 3y agoNews stories about the children of celebrities should be enough to dissuade this. But all joking aside, I suspect the main interest will be in people getting eggs from their own cells. Now sperm might be another matter, especially given the premium on being tall.
- kps 3y ago> Why do modern startups always make the world a worse place to live in? Well, this one has an actual product in mind, that is aimed at making its customers happy. So it beats 90% of modern startups already. Now, if they find a way to lock the children behind a subscription paywall, I'll be the first to agree with you.
