Per the wikipedia page it states that it is not clear if it effective because they’re not going to intentionally infect the children to test it. But we see the results specifically on the targeted gene. That’s a success and demonstrates the technology works.

I’d argue the folly was inserting an artificial gene as opposed to the natural gene that we already know works. Either way the technology showed expression on the correct gene, that is a success.

We’d be having a better discourse on this if his results weren’t banned from every journal and not studied.

By all accounts what he did worked. The potential to end HIV is huge. The amount of human suffering that could be reduced by rolling out what he did is very real.

The technology is here. It’s better to strictly manage it for the public good than to lock it away.

Faster than expected seems to be the motto for this year.

Dismissing a state’s right to sovereignty is the most anti-democratic thing I can think of.

Considering Ukraine is the only modern/western democracy to have been invaded for territorial conquest in about 80 years demonstrates the level of bullshit that you’re spouting.

This should have been fixed in the 1800s when Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court, but it was ignored and here we are

On par form his last time in office. Speeding up the rate of executions is a very weird policy point.

If they remove my pork tumors can I keep them?

Well this is what I was waiting for. We’re boned

It’s like not standing for anything and sacrificing your party’s morals in the name of “compromise” isn’t a solid strategy

This is something I’m also interested in

I’m hopeful this will all lead to America’s farmers breaking from the republican party.

I fear american farmers will go bankrupt and all their land will be bought by corporations.

Fire red will always be my number one as it was my first game.

Otherwise it’s a hard choice between Sapphire and Heartgold. Both had great regions and lots to do.

My most played would be Diamond and it was good, but sinnoh was never my favorite region.

I made a comment self censored to “Mario bros” on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They’re going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory

Ignores my statement of active action

Claims point was proven

Refuses to elaborate

Bold moves

Okay so we’re going to have to define words.

Reason:

1. a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.
2. the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic.

Please refer to definition 2.

Sure we can spend all day defining words, but that’s obtuse. You very well know what I meant. Not turning an active flight around is magnitudes different than continuing arrests and deportation after a court order.

A justification requires at least some pretense of a reason. Just because you want to is a statement.

Once again, it’s not a cope to acknowledge that things are bad now and they can get worse. I’m going to protests, I’ve stopped all discretionary spending, and I tell my story to anyone that will listen (my work has been directly impacted). Hell I haven’t spoken to my Trump voting father in months. Short of taking arms against the government there’s not much left to do, and frankly to get to that level the milestones on the way to the bottom do matter a lot.

Saying I felt like it is not a justification. Wouldn’t call this a cope either. I know things are bad, but there’s still room for them to get much much worse. I think they will reach that point. It’s just watching the milestones pass now.

There are words and there are actions, but we’re not far off
