- Balgair 1y agoYeah, I mention this in some other comments that got greyed out. Basically, the real deal technology here is the lipid bubbles that deliver the payloads to the right cells, not the base modification. You can go look at them, and a lot of other comments in this thread for more info on that tech. TLDR: No way that anyone can bypass anything. These lipid bubbles are a miracle that they work at all; they're so unstable, it boggles the mind we can even use them to begin with. Doing any large scale DNA editing on an unsuspecting population would be so insanely expensive and difficult, I certain moving to the Moon would be cheaper.
