Unpublished, thanks to my previous PI still not having submitted the damn manuscripts for over 5 years now. I'm not about to claim I'm tenured faculty, but I'm definitely not a fresh shiny-faced graduate either.

Well, it's good to set guidelines, but to me it smacks of folding to public irrationality. There was the same sort of hand-wringing coming out when everyone was up in arms about "fetal" stem cells, despite how utterly inane the arguments against it when you knew how the cell lines actually worked, and I'm reading the…
When prominent researchers and pioneers in genetic engineering are saying we need to set some ground rules here while they research I don't think anyone is tiptoeing it makes logical sense to study treatments which won't cause long term difficult to control consequences that could jeopardize the entire field of…
See, this is where I have trouble with this line of arguments; The absolute, worst-case scenario for effectively any genetic modification is that the individual being changed dies. This happens on operating tables all the time, as it does in car accidents, plane crashes, regular old disease and injury, etc.
It is probably safer to use IVF for genetic diseases that can be easily detected and have no way to fix after the fact. And for any condition that is a "high risk" to try to treat that with gene therapy in a way that does not affect their germ cells.
You can do studies of human hybridized animals we have those in lines as well. It will just take a lot of time as you only study a small section at a time. Primate studies can be carried out by china/india and then you treat 100% fatal conditions in humans after a whole wack ton of research is complete and basically…
Also no one should even attempt to "hack" their DNA that is basically suicidal. I'm guessing they are going off the computer code definition so it is a very horrible idea.
Not really, the flip side of the coin is have no laws and see what happens to the world. Lets get rid of all human rights, common law, accounting principles, ...
Absurd TV plot converted to real world concept would work like this.
Well we should definitely ban any attempts to treat healthy reproducing humans without a full long term study (I'm talking many generations of animal studies before even phase 1 human). That is after we actually resolve issues with frankly very inaccurate editing methods. If we perfect something like CRISPR and prove…
Also that top image is wrong because patch clamp systems use glass tips (super fragile things to use/make). In our lab there is a guy who used those same glass tips by hand on cancer cells. Before he got the 50k$ robot arm to help, because he said it himself that it is very frustrating to try and poke a cell with a…
All for editing it out but wait for an actual FDA study to prove it will work. This may take decades to complete but its for safety of your health and if in the case of reproductive genetic engineering all future generations.
These are geneticists that are advising not to allow it not bible belt voters. The risks are real and extremely unpredictable. You could enhance/fix/treat one generation only to find out in two that they will all get horrible genetic instabilities that cannot be treated in time (something like Bloom syndrome just…
Quantum Suicide is a very bad idea even if the multi-verse exists. It is much more probable that you would either die or be horribly injured than survive without injury. Given the amount of times you would have to carry out this test to even prove it to yourself you would have to carry out multiple suicide attempts.…
If you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen will you make the task bar pop back up like it is supposed to?... I guess they never thought about mouse edge scrolling either just multi-touch gestures...
Built and tested for the iPad is probably reason it was overlooked and bugged. Basically a crappy tablet port.
Data mining would be more interesting to conclude instead of expanding the study. I'm sure once the PC version come out people will data mine and mod as much as possible. Statistically speaking the social study is poor and it is more correct to say the game is too variable to tell with the study's sample size.
It is still just as bad. Doing a test on something as variable as a video game which is internally using a PRNG (crappy random number generator) for a whole range of things compounded on each other and then expanding the test till you see results is a very poor way of conducting a scientific study. (Patterns may exist…
In reality the whole galaxy isn't really "simulated" and there is a small blob of hand tuned stuff (where all the stations are).
