Still Waters Posted September 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Precise "chemical surgery" has been performed on human embryos to remove disease in a world first, Chinese researchers have told the BBC. The team at Sun Yat-sen University used a technique called base editing to correct a single error out of the three billion "letters" of our genetic code. They altered lab-made embryos to remove the disease beta-thalassemia. The embryos were not implanted. The team says the approach may one day treat a range of inherited diseases. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-41386849 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, ignorance is a lack of knowledge, sometimes confused with stupidity. Close-mindeness can be "cured" by knowledge, but unfortunately with stupidy it's not as successful. There are stupid scholars, researchers and scientists and brilliant uneducated people. Now, defining what "stupidity" is, that's another topic altogether. And it diverts considerably from my first silly comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
