The Hippocratic Oath lies in tatters...

I look forward to the rationalizations and attempts to explain away the organ rejection, sepsis and eventual agonizing deaths those deluded Frankenstein monsters are going to go through at the hands of these evil narcissists.

Of course they can. they could put an entire live capybara in a person if they wanted to.

Whether the patient lives after, that's the question. A troon trying to have a baby in a donor uterus is committing suicide the long way.

Also this is convincing some women to remove themselves from organ donor registries

But they can't remove the Y chromosome.

Why wouldn't it be possible to do that? If you can figure out how to do it for one cell in vitro, doing it for all cells in vivo is probably not that much more difficult. Doing it in vitro would involve computing a short sequence of cutting and pasting operations and figuring out a way to reduce the amount of errors in such cutting and pasting operations. An example of a cutting and pasting operation is CRISPR/Cas9. I think the record was in the hundreds of point mutations and back then it grew exponentially.

So, while it's not feasible to make this work in 5 years, if any Bezos type wealth really hated saidit, they could fund it until it does work.

There are no limitations, other than humanity being stupid on average. I think most of the advancements requires to get there will happen regardless (because greater control over genetics is valuable), so one day a guy in his garage will just announce that he replaced his Y with X chromosomes.

    I never said I wanted to do that, which makes the rest of your comment retarded.

      Do you ever backup your statements with arguments?

      For the same reason you can't turn a Toyota into a Tesla without first melting it down.

      That's a logical fallacy and not a proof of impossibility.

      You should demonstrate some unchangeable mechanism in the human body which makes this impossible. For example, I think it's probably possible to find some mechanism to completely disable the Y-chromosome, which would have the same effect as replacing the Y-chromosome with an X-chromosome. In car analogies that would be the same as pouring concrete over the gas pedal to make it impossible to move the car. The biotechnology required for just disabling a Y-chromosome in a single cell probably is less than 5 years away if it isn't literally an afternoon amount of work. In fact, based on my knowledge of biology I think I already identified a solution in less than 30 seconds to do that. For example, one could just replace all the start codons in the Y-chromosome with stop codons and no proteins will ever be created in the cell.

      If one would then combine such a method with a viral vector, you are essentially already there for a trans "medicine", which indeed is a horrible invention. Making the solution permanent would not require much more work.

      Then seriously, you should pursue that innovation. If you can do it, your family won't have to worry about money for several generations.

      I don't see how it would make money unless I had a database with people willing to pay for a real transition and enough funding with large pharmaceutical company contacts.

      Genetic engineering isn't even applied in the real world at scale, because apparently doctors just love to continue to have people suffering, because otherwise by now everyone with some disease involving point mutations would have been cured by now.

      Similarly, genetic enhancements have been identified to make people breathe more efficiently to make everyone a super athlete, but none of those innovations have been made available to the general public.

      Meanwhile, you are suggesting this would be the invention that is going to make money. Well, I don't think so.

      I likely won't have a family, so there is no point in accumulating money beyond my current assets. It turns out humanity hates people with excess intelligence.

      You gotta not say shit like this. The fact you could write that much on such a morally corrupt and disgusting concept shows real issues with your mind and soul- the sort that lead to aneurysm, stroke, seizure etc.

      There's nothing more common in this world than self-assessments of unrecognised genius.

      Where do these wombs come from? Wouldn't that be rape and necrophilia?

      [–]EliLeFey 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      I think they are counting on those poor deluded f - ms 'donating' their organs . .. rip them out of women to turn them into female eunuchs (Germaine is a role model!).

      [–]RedItBurn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      If it's trannies donating to trannies, I suppose those weirdoes can engage in fucked up nazi-like human medical experiments on themselves.

      My guess though is they'll use wombs from recently deceased persons.

      'could' is different from horrendously complications to do

      tissue rejection issues (ever see the list of sideeffects of medicines transplant patients are subjected to ???)

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      This isn't what organ donar schemes were designed for, and frankly, I think people should reconsider their stance on donating if this is what their body will be used for after death.

      But why bother, when we have over 8 billion Carcinoma Sapiens on the planet already? Where are all these frankenbabies going to get housing, food, water, jobs, when they grow up? I mean, when you CHOOSE to have a child, shouldn't you factor in the likelihood of a decent adult life? Reminds me of the antiabortniks, whose concern for 'preborn babies' become 'afterborn fetuses' We can't take care of everyone here now, we should pay people not to have children, not waste medical resources on this insanity.

      [–]binaryblob 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

      Carcinoma Sapiens: that's not my problem.

      They were so consumed with the thought that they could. Nobody stopped to ask if they should.

      Stop making physical solutions to mental problems.
