    That one at least has a reasonably understandable medical purpose, all donated blood is tested for the kinds of diseases that these questions are meant to attmpt to screen for, and any amount of testing that can be avoided early saves them more money to spend on other lifesaving pursuits.





  • I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

    For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

    I don’t enjoy the idea of babies given circumcisions, I can’t abide genetic tailoring by a person internationally decried as an unethical practitioner doing things in secret just to stoke his ego to make him the first, bypassing the incredibly necessary ethical safeguards that the industry enforces against themselves.

    I don’t want him to be able to do what he did in the way that he did it because the way that he did what he did allows for monstrosities to be committed in the name of advancing science at any cost with no thought to potential lifelong unknowable direct consequences in the people being treated.

    I don’t have an anti-genetic editing slant, I don’t think the goal is bad.
