The paternalistic state does not allow you autonomy over your own body.
e.g the amount of backlash thought emporium got when he genetically engineered himself to remove lactose intolerance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY
Risky, but it's his body!
- tomrod 10mo ago> The paternalistic state does not allow you autonomy over your own body. Evidence to the contrary - fishing during free time.
- lukas099 10mo agoWhom did he get backlash from and what was their stated reason?
- striking 10mo agoIt's a cool video but it's formatted almost like a tutorial, with folks in the comments appearing excited to actually try it on their own bodies with lab equipment they have access to. It's pretty irresponsible given that I don't think he fully expressed the risks of doing this to your own body.
- rjdj377dhabsn 10mo agoThat's incredible. How has he not patented the process and made a fortune from selling a cure for lactose intolerance?
- dekhn 10mo agoIt's not just risky, it's hard to know if it really "worked" for many reasons. This is why we run double-blind, randomized control trials- to be convinced that the treatment "worked".
