Why did the Guardian take this really awesome scientific advancement and wrap it in a politically-charged article about fighting global warming?
The ramifications of creating new life-- or a chromosome, in this case-- are far, far more widely reaching than simply to fight climate change.
- breck 19y agoIndeed, the ramifications of this breakthrough are much larger than fighting climate change. An editor from the Guardian told me: "these new life forms can also fight terrorism, drunk driving and The Others." When I asked if this development had any relevance in areas other than cliche current event subjects, he said "Absolutely. Since we know have an answer to where life comes from--the lab--humans won't have to waste all that time with existential talk and can spend more time reading the Global Warming and terrorism stories in our great news media."
