I swear most of the human species is the subject of this same ongoing experiment, via other means than CRISPR thus far.

From everything I've researched - it seems like viruses are the causes of most health issues - notably cancer.

A lot of virus phages can insert DNA into host cells - it was the originally considered method for "gene editing" - before CRISPR.

Everything is just the Wizard of Oz and the illusion being revealed is science actually has no idea what it is doing, let alone anything about ethics or future-planning - it lambasts religion for causing pain and suffering - yet religion never created ways to literally destroy the world, never once - let alone hundreds of times (CRISPR, weaponized diseases, nukes, chemical warfare, CERN, geo-engineering, pesticides that destroy the food chain, industry and mathematics based economics that tear the planet apart for more profit, hundreds of thousands of toxic by-products, chemicals and pollutants - H-Bombs, moabs, rods from God, murder tech, murder medicine - there are so many - take your pick).

This is pandora's box and you're probably right - we've already been offered to the box.

true, everything is weaponised. but there are also good uses for everything: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

Yes, good point. Phage therapy is really interesting and seems promising. If left in good hands. And if made available to the 99%.

Yeah that's kind of what I meant about it being the original form considered for gene-therapy - until CRISPR.

I never said nuclear power didn't warm your home or power your graphics card - or that said pesticides don't give us more food.

Just saying it can also destroy the world.
