I look forward to Christians saying this is blasphemous and it subsequently being made illegal. As is tradition.

Hopefully they'll just refuse to use it and all the Christians will die of cancer

Christian here, I don't understand why anyone would object to this lol

Because at some point one of the scientists learned how to reprogram somatic cells by experimenting on embryonic stem cells.

Mostly it's because the man who yells about God on the tv while demanding money for his 5th private jet said so, plus the south is represented in government by the best and brightest of its used car salesmen.

Because they need a new outrage target.

It's not like there was any reason to be outraged about the lack of conservative indoctrination in schools either.

Christian here and I think this is awesome! Some of us are ignorant, closed-minded dipshits and I am truly sorry. Truth be told, this Jesus guy was pretty great, but most of his fan club is fucking nuts.

When is CRISPR going to grant me immortality god damnit. Every year that drips past is one less with my immortality guarantee.

I want to be immortal even if it kills me.

Were they muscle cells before they were cancer cells?

Because that seems like a problem if they weren't.

Brain tumor, now you can exercise your brain

So that explains why I get +1 STR every time I read a book

Dr. Kawashima suddenly became more creepy.

It's like genetic Judo.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

This is the way

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Put the genes in the CRISPR and the cells come out nice n fresh.

Could CRISPER be used to create a crispier French fry?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I mean .... Yeah?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That sounds pretty useful, why did it stop?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's the neat part, it doesn't.

Which is the problem when it reaches other healthy cells. That'd be the next stage of research.

"Good news, we turned your cancer AND skeletal system all into muscle!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So it's like cancerous muscle? That's like asking to be written into a comic book.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Mmm kinda was, the Cancerverse of the marvel universe sorta fits.
