In the last four billion years, nature has had the opportunity to perform every chemical reaction imaginable. Whereas, scientists have tried some. Mostly over last 300 years.
What makes humanity think genetics can solve all? A scientific discipline, less than a hundred years old. They’re doing recombinant DNA stuff. Though it must occur. You can’t uninvent the wheel.
But, CRISPR supposedly interprets DNA, in terms of protein sequencing. Science, I suggest, should favour this stance. Mathematical modelling with computers could interpret protein shapes, bonding sites, enzymic induction relevant functioning. The new pharmaceutical world?
No need to disturb the biological world. We can still be humans. We could cure more diseases than we would likely create. Even if the science claims to be lucrative genetics-style????
There are elements of society after eternal youth, some genocide and randomised Armageddon. We need to guard against those. Until, a time when the safety outweighs the dangers.
We can tell what a polypeptide will be, using theoretical genetics. Measured in the laboratory. We don’t need to jump in head first, with altering our DNA. We need to respect the god-power if this natural miracle.
Sorry to moan, groan and, mumble.
