>HONG KONG — A Chinese researcher claims that he helped make the world’s first genetically edited babies — twin girls born this month whose DNA he said he altered with a powerful new tool capable of rewriting the very blueprint of life.
>The researcher, He Jiankui of Shenzhen, said he altered embryos for seven couples during fertility treatments, with one pregnancy resulting thus far. He said his goal was not to cure or prevent an inherited disease, but to try to bestow a trait that few people naturally have — an ability to resist possible future infection with HIV, the AIDS virus.
The Chinese are going to make themselves immune to AIDS before unleashing an engineered super-AIDS on the rest of the world to kill us all. And we wont be immune because our governments are run by people too concerned with post WW2 anti-eugenicist ethics to allow us to gene edit ourselves.
Honestly it seems like the natural trajectory, that and robotic enhancement.. or we can just plod along fighting race wars and being mongs and negroids
Landon Gray
It's inevitable, but the dangerous thing is the massive advantage to whoever adopts these technologies first.
In all likelihood, Billionaires will be the ones getting their kids modified to have super-human IQs, immune systems, and physical fitness first, doing it in secret, while simultaneously lobbying the government and the public against the technology.
Blake Perez
what if this backfires? what if, instead of normal chinese people, they develop a race of bug-people who don't have normal human empathy or morals?

I really hope the docs selling the edit let their Chinese instincts take over and cut costs to the point where the kids come out some 70 I.Q hobbit.

And all the power to them. They'll be the pinnacle of our species, and nature by extension.

>First it was the nuclear arms race >Then the space race >Now it's the exponential intelligence acceleration race
This will be the final technological battle. If China engineers super intelligent children and funds their studies of either improving the genetic editing process to create even more intelligent kids, or creating AI, they win.
And I swear to god Democrats will find a reason to ban this research in our country.
Leo Cook
Yes I believe that was the joke.
Jonathan Gray
In a world of a million differences, a million dichotomies, one more has been added - a key has opened a door, leading humanity towards a possibility of more wars and suffering to come.
In all honesty, "Communism with White Characteristics (Survival)" has a reason to exist. You don't want the ascendant Chinese to rule over you with actual genetically modified Herrenrasse do you?
Mason Roberts
Joke's on you Chinese, you have to have SEX to get AIDS
Xavier Lewis

Austin Barnes
Don't you need an artificial incubator to make them super human?
Some naturals might be born with the super human genes
Well done China. Science can only advance without relying on feeble western "ethics". If we had the restrictions a hundred years ago that we do now, it's doubtful many of the advances we made would have ever happened
Bentley Lopez
Thank Christ, let them work out the bugs first. White race saved after all

I'm glad they at least are doing something that retards wouldn't think of doing because "IT'S PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE THEM SPACE IS NOT FOR US LET US DIE ON EARTH"

most likely, some idiot will "alter" their childrens genes and the kid will die or have serious birth defects

Both Democrats and the Christards will ban it for different reasons. Kinda funny that Chinks will give birth in the US and Canada to get citizenship and Westerners will get "pregnant" while visiting China

China is perfectly immoral. They will incinerate 1,000,000 babies before they get it right
William Price
The globalists have finally found a way to take away man's god given rights. Now they will be man made and have walmart given rights.
I profoundly disagree this will end in horrifying side effects for millions. It's the sort of massive hubris which will remove the term "Titanic" from common parlance. Mistake of biblical proportions

Asher Cook
still gonna happen. The potential upside is way too large. Also, the West is going to experience a massive decline in the next 20 years as the boomers die off and the true effects of importing IQ 75 savages come to fruition.
We are in for a wild ride.

Engineer me some 4ft tall American twinks with loose foreskins. I'll pay $500 cash for one. Sick of fucking full sized twinks.
Straight guy here.
Adam Kelly
Han are ethnocentric but like light hair and blue eyes. They will be sort of super hapas
Not surprised China broke the moral restraint and opened the pandora box of playing God first. I would rather the US, but we will set ourselves short w/ new frontier if we cannot break the restraint ourselves as well.
Charles James
This will most likely back fire were not ready for this hell we haven't even gotten off of earth to spread far and wide so when someone does stupid shit like this we could at least have insurance our race won't get wiped out by some fuck wit who have no business messing with something they don't understand.
Based chinks saving the white race when all whiteoids are committing ethnic suicide
Jayden Walker
nu/pol/ is low IQ, brown, and deserve the hell that's coming. They have no fucking clue about the implications of this, half of them think "genetics" is a meme.

I FEEL THE NEED TO POINT THIS OUT this is one of the final signs of the end times. Jesus is coming.

How the white man has fallen. The white man use to innovate. The white man use to inspire. The white man was meant to take us to the stars. But now look at him, the white man is nothing more than shallow shell of his former self. Is this truly how the story ends for the great white man?
This isn't a "new frontier", it's quite literally the death of mankind and the birth of something different.
Austin Morris
You aren't "white" anymore, even if you resemble a European phenotype if the traits that make "you, you", are pieced together one nitrogenous base at a time.

Read the Full Article, people.
Chinese Scientist only majored in physics with no medical degree.
He has no experience running human clinical trials.
He is fucking around along with some white guy professor he bought from Houston.
Ian Cox
Checked. Super human monstrosities will roam the earth. I think there's a good chance they don't know what they're doing and will edit the dna to do something seemingly beneficial but long term it will cause problems to those with tampered DNA. Also. >Huxley predicted this in brave new world which is the blueprint for global tyranny being carried out today.
Tyler King
here's to hoping they sterilize themselves by the third generation
Kevin Baker
See The Chinese guy is a hack with no experience doing clinical trails and his other teammate is some white physics teacher in Houston who also has no experience doing human clinical trails.
Don't trust any advancements coming from China. Japan has a higher rate of Nobel Prize STEM winners than China.
Carson Davis
You know the early Christians thought Christ was coming back in their lifetimes. Like in 50 AD... just keep waiting a little longer

These babies are inherently weak since the chosen sperm is the best scientist can find among 60 samples or so, instead of vs the millions during a natural conception

>Democrats
Don’t forget that Republicans will also ban it for their own retarded reasons
Dylan Nelson
The thing is, innovation like this will keep coming from non-geneticists because the geneticists are so cucked by ethical codes that were hammered into them in their education, which physicists and computer scientists didn't get.
Ian Perry
Also they were financed by a notorious Chinese hospital chain known for dishonest advertising
This news smells rat for many

That sounds like the beginning of a horror movie.

>innovation like this will keep coming from non-geneticists
Vast doubt. There is a false meme that somehow physics majors are experts in all areas of STEM.
Hollywood perpetuates this false idea which is why that Black Guy and Japanese Guy are always shilling their science shit to the press. And you know who I am talking about.
That astrophysicist black male who posts "woke" shit on his twitter and that old Japanese man with Einstein like hair.
Physics majors are the biggest attention whores in science.
This Chinese guy must want to lure in Chinese investors to his scam and if someone reports that white professor from Houston due to this article, he may get blacklisted from the Medical Board.
Kayden Morris
Id Love to see those super humans and their super emotional inteligence to deal with their super insect-like countrymen and super over population.
The stab state is gonna be beautiful
Tyler Sullivan
The article mentions there is no way for these female twins to be contacted or if the pregnancy was ever confirmed to be real.
You're just suppose to trust what this Chinese guy says.
Fuck AP for giving this guy attention though. Probably got a sweet kickback or something.
This article did not help and AP should just leave science reporting to other publishers.
While I admit human experimentation could be possible, it would be purely uneconomical to do such experimentation right now.
It just wouldn't be cost effective due to human lifespan and other factors.
Large scale animal experimentation would make more economic sense.
Hell, we still don't know everything about the human body like recently we discovered a new region in the brain due to better scans and staining methods.
It's too immature to think gene editing can reach science fiction levels this soon.
Evan Anderson
China badly handled SARS, Bird Flu, and Pig Flu.
For one fucking year and a half, they allowed SARS to go rampant in their country because they kept denying to WHO that a potential epidemic was going on.
Then China still got fucked by bird flu and pig flu despite claiming they learned their lessons.
Stop overestimating the Chinese.
Yeah and who cares if China hires these Western researchers. The Chinese smog will kill all money hungry traitors.
Jason Kelly
yeah the chinks are literal bugmen

You're dumb. Everything is irrelevant if they successfully locate the polygenic combinations for high 'g' and are able to reproduce them at scale. You're out of touch and don't understand the implications of this.

Josiah Hall
You guys realy think chink gene editing will result in better, smarter babies? That will be the claim, but it will be Chinese quality children being born. I expect a massive fraction will be still births or babies that need to be killed , with the rest having massive long term side effects. Most of their studies are complete bullshit and fake results, their labs fake results, so they will end up implementing shit that doesn't work. You know those sci-fis where some advanced species end up sterilising themselves or somehow whipping themselves out with genetic manipulation? That will be the Chinese.
Brandon Hill
I expect it to end up like their high speed rail. Chinks build infrastructure too fast and sloppy. They'll do the same with humans.
Just not too much or they'll end up with white people's pathological altruism
Chase Garcia
>K-pop >high IQ that degenerate systematically generated unoriginal media attracts the lowest of the low.

This. Don't trust Chinese anything. It's all poor quality and of suspect integrity.
Isaiah Carter
Yeah, they’ll create a bunch of super autists, and? If it was that great to be like that there would be a lot more of them
Kevin Torres
hes right though, chinas trying to create shit but the water they drink, and the air they breathe, along with the food they eat, all will make them have lower life spans. Most modern chinese people will probably fucking die when they reach 45.
Nathan James
China is throwing the gauntlet down, declaring they want to be the global leader in technological advancement, and what the fuck are we doing? Creating a new inclusive emoji and making sure legitimate science doesn't offend anyone.
Parker Miller
It’s been done for years already.
Kayden Jackson
I dont think they have shit, this is the same shit the soviets did during the cold war. They had new inventions that sounded crazy, along with consumer shit that seemed crazy.

Real talk: IQ can't change too fast over a generation or you end up with a bunch of Chris Langan type underachievers because nobody can understand them or communicate with them. It's basically Tower of Babel.
This idea is just the latest in bug-brained schemes like limiting couples to one child or killing all the birds in China. HIV is just one virus, nobody is immune to hemorrhagic fevers yet.
Charles Edwards
Good genes will only get you so far. Good nutrition, being physically active, and good parenting is far more important. I know plenty of successful people whose kids are complete fuck ups because they expect some nanny (who doesn't really give a fuck) to raise the kid
