Consider this

Considering we are able to determine a persons ethnic background from their genome (à la 23andme), would it be possible to engineer a virus or other pathogen that actively targets people that have certain genetic markers? These markers could be selected so that only people of a certain background would be inflicted by the pathogen.

There already exists enzymes and viruses that are able to cut at very specific points of the double helix, so the ability to target the group of choice of these pathogens could be made to be very high.

Could it work?

It would be possible but it wouldn't take long for the virus to mutate and target other populations.

Well hello Mordin. Off to another Krogan genocide I see.

God speed.

>tfw we create a virus capable of killing anyone with over 15% of jew blood
>tfw after we are done we create a virus that kills that virus and doesn't affect humans

AFAIK link related was looking into this just before we got cucked. It was probably too early for them to have made significant gene-based discoveries though.

>Ashkenazi

gas yourself.

Technically yes but it would be highly uncontrollable.

It would probably more practical to develope an antidote and a poison, give the antidote to those that you want to survive.

Crispr is already here.

The first genetic scientist whose husband cheats on her is going to end up with an arm growing out of his neck. Expect small ruptures soon.

It says that everyone has less than 1 percent ashkenazi and native american in them. It's a flaw in the dna categorizer 23 and me uses

Well I guess we better just gas everyone than. Everyone's getting genocided tonight!
