    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

        Not cool wishing people death :/

        Plus it won’t be efficient as most cancer form after you’re not fertile anymore.

        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.

    Were they muscle cells before they were cancer cells?

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

    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.

      Even if it kills you? Seems Counterintuitive, it would only be logical if you are pursuing it from sheer effort and not because a bad batch got experimented on you. I hope your efforts for immortality go well. Please share your findings with the world
