  • In the case of embryo cloning, it’s Sophie’s Choice but for embryos. Make a few dozen combinations of sperm and egg, and then choose the best one to grow based on your opinion. But embryos are people too. How many potential sibs can you waste for the perfect child? It’s icky, and we should have caution when we do powerful things.

    Individual gene editing therapies are also being worked on now, but these pose similar issues.

    What if taking away depression from the next few generations causes the human population to no longer produce quality artists? Another issue: the wealthy will have unequal access to it compared to others. We can only have nice things (freedom from disease) if there are those willing to pay charge for them. Not everyone can benefit from gene therapy, so it is not truly a benefit to society or humanity, and therefore should not be developed as a biotechnology. As if that ever stopped anyone.









  • This question has gone back and forth a lot, and the data says: both! The overall development of organisms depends the sum of the effect of the genes, the environment, and the gene-by-environment interaction. In conclusion, to predict human behaviors and personalities, we need a new zodiac system that accounts for multiple hemispheres, precipitation, elevation, socioeconomics, pandemics, popular movies, climate change, and the genome.

    “I was a Porky’s kid, born in the southern hemisphere, I ate well, was raised in good home, I had access to education, and it was back when climate change was still deniable. Most people did not know what a pandemic was. I’m genetically predisposed to hair loss.”

    “Ma’am, you are, what we call, a Jaguar-5-hypercrab-superbear, and I’m going to have to ask you to go with the nice officer now.”







  • I dunno man… You forget about GT? /s

    No, of course TeamFourStar doesn’t care about how they could be “damaging” to the original experience of watching the show. I think you and your friend are allowed to enjoy whatever you choose, right? You’re upset your friend is experiencing DBZ incorrectly. It feels wrong? I think I understand, but please correct me if I’m going off course.

    It is easier to relate to one another with small jokes and low-investment memes. Comedy is a helpful distraction in a terrible world, even if the comedy is shallow.

    Being able to open up and have a knowledgable discussion about a topic is one of the deepest and least attainable social pleasures. If you want to be able to discuss DBZ with this person you have to adapt to their growing body of knowledge on the subject.

    Also, you have a unique perspective to share with your friend, once you can overcome the obstacles. Seriously, why does TeamFourStar, who allegedly loved DBZ, represent Piccolo as the only serious character? I bet it could be because they could only use the original drawings, and they have to write scripts around the fact that Piccolo does not smile often.
