Precise "chemical surgery" has been performed on human embryos to remove disease in a world first, Chinese researchers have told the BBC. The team at Sun Yat-sen University used a technique called base editing to correct a single error out of the three billion "letters" of our genetic code.
They scanned DNA for the error then converted a G to an A, correcting the fault. Junjiu Huang, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "We are the first to demonstrate the feasibility of curing genetic disease in human embryos by base editor system." He said their study opens new avenues for treating patients and preventing babies being born with beta-thalassemia, "and even other inherited diseases". The experiments were performed in tissues taken from a patient with the blood disorder and in human embryos made through cloning.
Has this been confirmed by anyone other than China? Because I don't trust the Chinese to tell the truth.
Gabriel Brooks
China leaps ahead of the world in the race for super-human species.
Yes, the techniques are well known worldwide and results legitimate. China #1. China is the world leader in cloning and working very hard to become #1 in biotech and genetics.
William White
why are the chinks so superior to us?
William Barnes
western scientists have their arms tied when trying to make progress.
They have armies of libtard ethics oversight who get mad if they ask a patient their race or gender.
China is free to advance, cure cancer, and do actual research while the West decided it was best to worry about the feelings of cells.
KEEP IN MIND, europe is more restrained and held back from curing diseases than america. It's not a religious thing.
Daniel Wright
>China is attempting to cure genetic disease >women in the west are crying that it's problematic we consider these diseases "bad"
Evan Hall
Because our government cucks researchers. We could have done this shit years ago if they didn't have laws against it. You Brits have it way better in comparison to the US, but Asia is even looser.
Logan Perry
If their women get too uppity and let the insanity out, they beat it back in.
Ryan Green
>China is the world leader in cloning and working very hard to become #1 in biotech and genetics. Good, I'm tired of worrying about the fate of the world, let the Chinks save us
Camden Barnes
Basically if you want progress to begin again in Europe or North America we need to cut regulations enormously. Until then China will pass us and begin dominating biotech, genetics, and all such powerful advancements.
The west has given up, committing slow suicide by not wanting to advance in any way. We believe we have reached the end point in science and technology. So of course with this attitude China and others who see a better future will grab it and kill every westerner.
Wyatt Robinson

Nicholas Morgan
Because they are not expected to provide legit results
Xavier Evans
To understand it. Imagine every Western leader as a reflection of Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton who refused to campaign in states she needed to win like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Michigan. Instead she campaigned in states not needed like Arizona or Texas.
Basically she campaigned in order to win a "historic victory" instead of being smart and securing a sure win. She basically wanted to taunt, revel in her advantage, and not really secure an easy victory by playing it safe.
So she lost those three states which are blue leaning because she wanted to win by 80 points instead of get a safer victory.
EVERY western elite is like this. They don't care about the massive advantage they have. They don't care to defend it or secure it. They want to luxuriate in meaningless things like worrying about human rights in Sudan instead of securing better economic growth and technology grwoth.
Instead of caring about their lead or what lets them feel so superior they squander it. Like every leader and empire before them in a good position. They can't appreciate it or understand how to save it.
Like a wheel turning they are not in the dirt but sailing through the air, but it's coming down and rotating over and over. They just are too blind to see it or care. Hence feeling okay with restricting science and technology.
Why do you need uber? Why do you need genetic technology? Ehh we can keep taxi drivers around and protect our status quo. That is the mindset of the shit-filled brains of elites in the west.

It's deeper than religion. People are scared of the unknown and want to reinforce the status quo.
Why are regulators scared of UBER?
Ayden Cook
>why are the chinks so superior to us? Because they were never moral-cucked by Christianity.
Nicholas Young
I was just talking about this yesterday. China is ahead of us for this kind of work. Any genetic tampering in the West is hampered by (((((ethics)))))). So while we destroy ourselves with degenerate ideologies and influxes of gang-raping fanatics, China will be exploring a new frontier.
I, for one, welcome our new lab grown asian babe masters
Owen King
European atheists are just an extreme form of Protestant. They are not really atheist at all.
Brayden Roberts
>chinks will turn themselves into super-aryans while the west descends into niggerdom Feels bad

Quite true. They also do as much as possible to hold back advancements in the research, understanding of genes. Wouldn't want anymore genetic facts about differences between races to accidently slip out now would we?
Nathaniel Peterson
We all know science in the west is controlled by redneck christians. Havent you seen university campuses?

Adrian Perry
This is a secret point of hilarity for me >demographics are destiny >conservatives will die off
The actual reality is that liberals are dying off and all they are leaving is scaffolding that biologically conservative minded people cling to.
It's a sweet irony of life that people's expectations and predictions are so far from accurate. Poor low IQ people. They thought the world was becoming liberal when the only reason they even feel that way is identity politics related to minorities.
Nathaniel Thomas
>Jews, Buddhists, fedora Agnostics and atheists all voted for the female demon
Go figure. So surprised.
Lincoln Jackson
Did he use VIM or Emacs to do it?
Xavier Young
The ethics and fear of altering things come from Christianity. In China, Christianity is very new.
No they aren't. Chinese are barely even human at this point. They were so raped so often by history they're basically genetically selected for sociopathy, but if we keep being held back its true they might surpass us eventually, if they don't collapse again first. False morality is hobbling us.
Gabriel Cruz
>Buddhist >implying White people don't count
Ayden Garcia
That seems to be a curse though. I wonder what would happen if the gov became less and less of a % of GDP in China. Something tells me more private wealth is bad for the country right now in many ways.
It's an interesting transition when coupled with massive technological change.
Blake Russell

Ian Turner

Dylan Evans
Trump took advantage of identity politics too, and the "nothing in particular" and "something else" are fairly evenly split. Those groups are the real demographic future. Atheism, as a moralistic claim and religion, is declining, and religion is increasing, but not by very much. A lot of those former atheists are just not caring too much about religion and atheism anymore and just getting on with life, which is a sign of religion's decline in society, not its advancement. They don't need to fight it as much. You are becoming falsely and naively optimistic like the people you critique.
James Murphy
China is most closely related to nazi germany than any other country you can think of.
When they had a dispute with the phillipines over islands the most common internet saying was "Starve the phillipino dogs to death and kill them all"
Nazi Germany is by far the closest similar society you can compare them to. It's the relative power of international opponents that keeps them from invading every neighbor right now.

I see, but the world is definitely becoming more liberal, I was just pointing out how the statistics don't really show what the common idea would be. More people becoming religious doesn't necessarily mean the population is becoming more conservative, if the religions themselves are becoming more liberal.
Jace Kelly
FUCK. This is actually a big deal. Our Air Force was gathering slavic DNA to manufacture "something", and the Chinks are beating us to Ubermensch in the process.
If you've had your DNA profiles, and then used Promethease to report your medical correlations, you'll know already that a "A", "C", "G" in a Caucasoid vs Negroid vs Mongoloid can have entirely different positive/negative affects.
Imagine the guy that creates a topical solution for susceptibility to diseases based on altering these alleles retroactively.
Got sickle cell? Well guess what! Your country just got sprayed with a pesticide that makes you susceptible to malaria, and it's mosquito season!
Could you imagine being the first lucky guy to fuck the first genetically modified perfect female?
Gattica has a hell of a lot of potential ramifications for humans, but Ubermensche Chong Li makes me diamonds.
DIAMONDS.
Samuel Bailey
What do you mean by liberal?
Like more people having sex because of contraception options? These types of "liberal" meanings are pretty retarded and don't show a shift in consciousness.
Is it a conservative shift that less teens have babies?
Xavier Moore
What are you talking about? Everyone will be atheist in 20 years because the chinks will have created an entire generation of superhumans and exterminated all the christcucks by then.
Adam Moore
Because the last very creative scientists we had in Europe, might have experimented on some of the chosen people, so being a very creative scientist is not very "in" anymore in Europe.
Leo Jenkins
They're not ideologically cucked by egalitarianism. Egalitarianism is the number one cause of shit science in the west.
Jaxon Thompson
None of which matters anymore. This topic is about the imminent Chinese domination earth due to creating a populace of genetically engineered superhumans. Conservative breeding will be irrelevant when the Chinese robot army is executing you all.
Adrian Cook

Charles Nelson
Private companies have already started modifying embryos for a while now. These clandestine operations have actually been going on long enough that the first successful tests are already toddlers. I know because I've met a few personally. Time will tell if there will be any significant results
Aiden Fisher
My point
Going from pederasty society to a non pederasty society would be a liberal move. The conservatives would be the ones fighting against stopping the boy fucking.
Liberal just means ability to morph or stray from the norms or try new norms. Conservative means sticking to norms.
You are misunderstanding teens today who follow the norms of LGBT acceptance as liberal. They are not liberal. That is just them following the scaffolding of society.
Right now we have less "liberal' brains and less every year in America. You are misunderstanding change and status quo.
Joseph Phillips
because they didnt make it their mission to uplift savages no matter what the cost
Blake Turner
The future is Chinese.
The West is becoming what the middle east is to us now, a backwards place filled with zealots and an impassable "morals" wall that holds society back.
In 50 years the west will be discussing if Genetic Editing of zika babies or austitic children is morally ok, because being austistic is "not a disease you oppressive white wing nazi" and whatnot, meanwhile the Chinese will be fully genetically engineering their children.
Elijah Fisher
faggot why do'nt you take a deep breath in downtown Beijing during a spare the air & melt ur face day.
Alexander Walker
>imminent Chinese domination Expect hundreds of millions of chinese to die. They feed livestock the strongest antibiotics know to man, and are breeding superbugs.
William Peterson
A final point on the topic
Technology is going to have a far bigger impact like it already has with things like contraception or internet etc. Even if the population is conservative the upcoming massive technology changes are going to put us on a roller coaster.
Kayden Jackson
only a matter of time till some self proclaimed dictator of the world corporate oligarch begins super soldier engineering to conquer the world.
EVERYTHING WILL BE FIRE!!!
Daniel Cooper
Industrialization did that everywhere it happened.
Andrew Long
Ethics in science are retarded and shouldn't be a thing and asians know it.
Logan Morris
>Going from pederasty society to a non pederasty society would be a liberal move. The conservatives would be the ones fighting against stopping the boy fucking. I know that's just an example but it allows me a good point. It wasn't conservatives who even stopped pederasty, in fact pederasty was a conservative institution if anything, it was common in conservative higher ups in society, such as university deacons, politicians, bishops, etc. It was moral panic started by feminists and liberal Christian groups who began the rollback of pedophilia of any kind as immoral.
>Liberal just means ability to morph or stray from the norms or try new norms. >Conservative means sticking to norms. Well, conservatives already internalized many things that were made normal by liberals, sch as my example as pedophilia scare. So conservatism advancing is actually just modern forms of "conservatives" defending new positions made by liberals and not realizing they're defending liberal normalization in society. They believe they're sticking to norms, I'll grant you that.
>You are misunderstanding teens today who follow the norms of LGBT acceptance as liberal. They are not liberal. That is just them following the scaffolding of society. The "scaffolding" is previous waves of liberal normalization which eventually becomes internalized as conservatism. It already started, look at Milo, Trump defending gays against Islam, etc.
Carson Cook

Aaron Wood
As recently as the 60's it was common practice in the U.S. to test vaccines on orphans, and children of female prisoners born in custody, who were considered wards of the state. The guy who developed the polio vaccine tested it on orphans too. Can't do that shit anymore, though.
Jaxon Nguyen

Of course. It's why the messaging of forced transgenderism of hispanic/black children is going to win the republicans 2018. Fear works amazing on such brains and blacks/hispanics are packed with those brains.
Nolan Myers
The only noteworthy thing about this story is if China was a piss weak military armed pisshole you can bet americans would invade them to destroy their economy kidnap all the scientists on this project and force them to develop for the US military.
just look at the jealousy of the burger on this one thread...americans are too fucking stupid, spic and nigger infested and rapidly turning into a third world shithole fast to ever compete with China.

Everyone with half a brain knew it would be China that would dominate genetics. They'll have an influx of researchers wanting to join after news like this. All the best people people who are so fucking tired of "muh humanity, mut ethics, muh god", the people who just want to discover new things and bend reality to do their bidding.

Jordan Morales
possibly, one of the advantages of capitalism open societies is they can be conquered without necessarily needing to be destroyed by a military.
The problem is this vector can be used by weak countries and shit peoples too. As we see happening now.
Adrian Myers
They might dominate (applied genetics) in which they take other people's IP/papers/techniques and apply them but they don't dominate the foundational science. I'm all for exploring genetics and science but reckless applications of it, given that we still know fuck all, is not something I endorse.
Regulations are in place for this because you can literally create biological catastrophes that propagate through multiple vectors and destroy a whole population. All it takes is some minor fuck-ups, blood line transmission, and you could have an incurable genetic disease making its way through a population.
The chinese have no wherewithal or ethics about such things. Thus, it is indeed the place people go to conduct such hamfisted applied engineering. When humans begin unraveling and fucking around with genetic codes that mutate and error from their edits, you'll get why there were warnings. In the meantime, thankfully it will be segmented to the chink population for some time.
If you think Genetic code outcomes are determined by flipping around a single G to an A, you're fucking retarded.
