]]>Which blood cell du normally react tu defend da body from immune diseasex ? Pliz am weitng for feedback.
]]>Wow Wouldn’t be a Wonderful Discovery……God Is Good The Lord Is Good
]]>Alex Otee Antibodies are the cell type that defend your immune system.
]]>Tracy Hurst If you make that statement, you must be ready to defend it. Science is proven. Is the theory that God is good proven? If not, then I will take it as a metaphor.
]]>Tracy Hurst Science is good. Scientists are good. The god you’re praising for this treatment is the same god that allowed cancer to happen in the first place.
]]>Thenx for your nice anxa ,killspree45, TV
]]>Alex Otee No problem.
]]>Stephen Cornwell Mate, I am not even sure of THAT. Technically, the way things have gone for the last thousand years, we start out with something simple (Spears, slings, shields) and something further evolves into either a more dangerous or vital technology. So, the ability for cells to clone themselves and make the body think they’re the same cells is an evolution. It is evolution on our part to be able to genetically modify our genetics to combat those cloaked cells. If that makes sense.

]]>Tracy Hurst Why the hell would you take all of the credit from scientists’ hard work and give it to your imaginary friend? That’s not fucked up at all… ?
]]>Austin Harleman Scientists sweat blood over all the stuff we’ve discovered, and we should always be grateful for their sacrifice of time and diligence.
]]>D R Who says you can’t and why is that scary?
]]>D R Sure they do. They have millions of years of evolution to study and reproducible lab experiments. Your comments suggest you have no formal education in biology, evolution or genetics so I’d put it to you that your fear comes from ignorance, not a rational assessment of the facts.
Genetic modification isn’t going to produce some terrible mutant offspring or change the entire population, it doesn’t work like that. The idea it can be weaponized is even more farfetched.
]]>D R Sure, any tech can be misused, but some is more dangerous than others. The transistor, for example, is harmless in and of itself.
No, education doesn’t remove dangers, but it stops you being afraid of the imagined ones.
Your fear is misplaced, it’s the same fear ancient cultures had of comets or anything else they couldn’t explain.
]]>D R I was referring to the natural human fear of the unknown, phobias are a different story altogether.
Murphy’s law isn’t a real thing. This kind of gene therapy is vastly safer than nuclear power, the two aren’t even remotely comparable.
This is why we have science, so decisions are made on the facts not emotive ignorance.
The thing is, you have no idea whatsoever what the risks are, you’re dreaming up threats then telling us we should all be afraid of them. That’s not rational.
My education leads me to rationally assess risks and acting accordingly, your lack of an education leads you to fearmongering about subjects you have little understanding of. Given the choice of the two, I’d pick the former.
Take some time to learn about the subject before dismissing it, just because you’re afraid of things you don’t understand.
]]>D R You haven’t given any real examples of the risks of gene therapy, just some general doomsaying.
Murphy’s law isn’t based on chaos theory and it’s not valid. It’s not a fundamental law.
People can misuse just about anything, that alone is not a reason not to use that thing. Again, rational analysis of risks and appropriately considered actions are the sensible path. Claiming the sky might fall when you really have no grasp of the subject at all, is not. It’s an irrational response, based out of fear of the unknown.
]]>Stephen Cornwell D R I think you both have the same thinking aligned, just how you’re trying to say it is sounding like a challenge to the other.
In all truth, modifying human genetics cannot be weaponized unless purposefully manipulated in an attempt to create a weaponized human (DAMs).
If you want to have a real argument about the dangers of this tech, the latter to this tech is a nuclear fallout, in which there is a 100% chance of evolution taking a wrong turn. Would you rather embrace a potentially important part to the future of enhancement and progression or risk contaminating the very ground you live above that holds all of the things you need to survive?
Weigh the options, and then make a conclusion. Throwing little to no evidence out as an excuse to believe something will fly with few people. More people would rather you do your research and share what you learned rather than use past experiences to make your words feel relevant.
]]>Killspree45 TV No, I fundamentally disagree with D R that we should avoid technologies like this just because people entirely uneducated in the subject are afraid of imagined horrors.
Suggesting this technology can be used to weaponize humans is absurd. You can’t tweak a couple of genes and make a super-soldier, or a docile slave, it just doesn’t work like that. Again, it’s an imagined fear that comes from a lack of understanding of both the technology and human biology.
“Weigh the options, and then make a conclusion.”
No, let the people who actually understand the subject fully weigh the options and make a conclusion. You wouldn’t get a plumber to do risk analysis of a space shuttle mission and you certainly wouldn’t seek his advice, likewise you wouldn’t follow the advice of people with no education whatsoever in genetic engineering about the risks of gene therapy.
D R What concerns me is people might actually listen to the uninformed nonsense that you’re spewing. There will be no genetically engineered slave nation, the suggestion is just ridiculous. I’m sorry for your wife’s allergies, but they’re not caused by GMO corn, that theory, also created by a person uneducated in biological sciences, has been debunked more times than I can count. GMO is safe and well managed. Contrails are not part of a government mind control program. Fluoride isn’t giving you cancer. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Opinion does not equal fact and uninformed opinion should be ignored.

]]>Stephen Cornwell Mate, I know for a fact that anything can be weaponized. I turned a harmless potato into a grenade launcher capable of giving fatal concussions, so yes, it is very possible to do so with a more delicate part of ourselves.
]]>Killspree45 TV Exactly, if anything can be weaponized, or used in a nefarious way, then it’s an illogical argument to suggest we avoid something because it could be weaponized. It’s like suggesting we get rid of all vehicles, because vehicles can be used to run people down.
]]>Stephen Cornwell Everything can be used as a weapon, it is how the person controlling it exploits it that gives the public a settled opinion about it.
]]>D R A CompSci degree has nothing to do with basic computer maintenance.
There is nothing to learn from you on the subject of gene therapy and genetic modification, because you know very little about either subject, and what little you think you know, you’re wrong about.
I’m telling you you’re wrong because the science says you’re wrong. It’s not my opinion or point of view, it’s the facts.
Keep the thinly veiled insults to yourself.
]]>D R When you have facts you can debate them on their merits, you don’t need insults or personal attacks.
Enjoy your day.
]]>What a waste of time to try to educate the arrogant.
]]>Killspree45 TV Who are you referring to?
]]>The other guy… Seems that the older people get, the more bullheaded they become. He was not open to new suggestion and knowledge, but claimed his own as fact after clearly stating in the beginning that what he knew 15 years ago has drastically changed, yet he feels that genetically curing cancer is evil and will not learn the science or reasoning behind it. If he was the one controlling the laws, and this was proposed, and he rejected it, he’d be killing people instead of curing them. At least this new tech is able to possibly cure.
]]>Killspree45 TV Couldn’t agree more!
]]>I mean, honestly, if I had cancer I’d want this law to pass as well. Because then at least I’d have hope to live a great and long life rather than pitying myself and taking chemo until I die.
]]>D R I think that if we approached the topic in a different way or wouldn’t sounds like an attack.
]]>D R Hello. I am the curator of this collection. Please be respectful or you will be blocked. Thanks.
]]>Looks like DR did the classic block me, then continue the argument so I can’t respond or know what was said. I guess that’s all he has.
]]>A man without a valid argument is not worthy of my time, and if there is offense taken then it should be taken on both sides. I’d love to have a talk about this type of stuff, but please message me privately if you want a debate. I think it is rather childish to act ignorant while unashamed and aware of doing so.
