I like the video where he makes fun of the old lady who worked at Walmart for 18 years and still isn’t a manager. Then he acts like he’s really pwned her because she said Walmart makes billions a day with “they only make 495 million dollars a year” while he sits there in his fucking pac man shirt or whatever. A completely unlikeable pile of shit.

Uh what the fuck Germany?

Can anyone confirm this? It seems to be almost completely buried by the press and I don’t want the only source to be RT but if this report is accurate it sounds absolutely horrifying.

What are the chances that a recently adolescent nerd who harbors cartoonish fantasies of being a noble warrior-priest Germanic Chieftain doesn't have a constantly updated YouTube channel?

some chinese scientist modified the genome of a couple of embryos and the resulting twin baby girls were just born. he did this in defiance of basically every current ethical guideline and the worst part is that the change he made - removing a protein that makes you immune to HIV - is probably doing more harm than good since it increases susceptibility to west nile and influenza. now the guy is at some worldwide conference on tweaking the human genome and he's just getting ROASTED by the community. apparently he's a physicist by training and doesn't seem to have a clue what he's even done or why.

long story short humanity just took another step towards brave new world stuff and it's all thanks to a dummy.

isn't uh, that basically the business model of all new tech companies (in the united states)? i mean apart from ones that exist only to burn VC

technological innovation -> profit model predicated on super dubious ethics -> performative ethical reflection -> double down on the bad thing when it's clear the regulatory state is 100% hands-off

the people that care about the ethics will care about the ethics; the people that care about money will care about money. there's no reconciling the two in any way except under pain of sovereign violence—which i am now unabashedly supporting. make CRISPR baby tinkering a class AAA super combo felony again!

Why would he fuck with the genome to make someone at greater risk of disease ? Isn’t the benefit of altering genes was to make people super soldiers, and failing that, make them less susceptible to the illnesses and hardships passed along genetically ?

A thousand apologies if I’m totally misunderstanding this, as my expertise lies in the somewhat removed field of getting hit in the face

riley you're spot on. in this case they enrolled would-be-parent couples where the dad is HIV+, and I think this was just to have a sympathetic person who would find it SUPER IMPORTANT to have an HIV-immune kid. the consent procedure was a total sham and they didn't inform the parents of any of the potential risks/downsides LOL

andrew yeah I guess this is not that much of a break from uber in your framing system, but it's pretty novel to be making genetic changes using an imperfect molecular scalpel on an embryo... just to decrease the risk of getting a thing that is pretty readily avoided in places where genetic engineering is going on? this guy didn't do it for $$$ fwiw. I've heard of a few start-ups that were keen to make GATTACA babies but I feel like they bailed once they realized it would be a shit-show IRL. those efforts now take place via preimplantation genetic diagnosis, where they can get a bunch of embryos ready for IVF, genome sequence them, and then let the parents pick eye/hair color, skin tone, etc. before one gets popped in the over.

[side note: I find it unbelievable that you can take a proto-babby made of just 8 cells, pluck one out to destroy in the process of genome sequencing, and somehow the other 7 cells are like "oh, we need another cell apparently" and they just make another one. how the fuck?]

but yeah on the consequences front: we'll see what happens to this dude. IIRC china once executed their former FDA(equivalent) director for approving fake drugs. so maybe this guy's dead?

there's been tons of handwringing over everyone saying "OF COURSE china did this", but like... yes, of course china did this. that's just a reasonable expectation based on facts.

hahaha actual excerpt from an article about the mad scientist guy trying to do crash-course in bioethics. from the tale of the bioethicist & unwitting mentor to a madman:
He made his thumb and forefinger nearly touch and asked, “You mean to tell me that something this small is as important as someone’s child?”
ahhh, the enviable luxury of never having to deal with a pro-life christian ever

more like popped in the ulver. less like that, actually

the genetic prescreens for IVF still have substantial false negative rates (friends of ours just had one where the result was the kind of doubleplus ungood chromosomal issue where it's destroy or wait for inevitable self-destruction, fucking heartbreaking man) which can break in one of two ways re: the future market of this shit. the first is yeah, avoid the blowback of being a boutique baby company when model 337 comes out with webbed lungs and a prehensile clit. the second is professionals, already delaying and freezing eggs to accrue enough capital to afford being a parent that is also an entrenched c-suite monster, who demand that their precious idiot son-to-be rohan have heterochromia and a fatal peanut allergy to build character

you are reading me right

I don't know that many medical horror details beyond vague steterotypes, but their science ethics are all sorts of fucked. most of it centers around the pressure to publish lots of papers in good journals. usually the papers get sent around to experts in the field, who say if the work is garbage or not, and you need a good review to get into a good journal. importantly, you can suggest your own reviewers. so in china when some shady scientist is suggesting reviewers they'll be like "please have bill nye read this - his email is billnye@aol.com" and often the editor will just send the review to that address when it's REALLY being sent to the reviewer's buddy or, more hilariously, someone at a company whose sole purpose is to write fake reviews!

sorry... that's not very juicy. embryos just aren't worth much there as evidenced by that borat-esque anecdote above, along with the apparently painless acceptance of the one-child policy, which exacerbated pressures to make sure a son resulted, in turn inspiring zillions of lady-babies being aborted because of their sex. for the last ~20 years there are about 7 boys born for every 6 girls. not that insane, but still...

there's not a lot of medical science atrocity going on before this recent gaffe, but I think the "compulsory doping for the olympics" backdrop gave people the impression that they're going to be ethically lax but also driven to do something first.

sorry this post sucks. maybe I am forgetting something!
