willing to bend a little and by some regular meats depend on what we can afford at the time. We all know that eating pesticides can be harmful, same with hormones, but how about scorpion shells? Well they’re in tomatoes now. We have no idea at this point how it will affect us. What goes into your food affects your DNA. It affects what is produced in your new cells, I don’t human had a past scorpion shell diet.
Now that GMO’s are a regular part of life here in Canada, we find some pretty interesting ingredients in regular tomatoes. They added the scorpion “bits” to tomatoes to make the shell last longer on the shelf. Problem with that is that the nutrient content will normally deplete over a few days from evaporation etc... And instead of rotting, this wonderful tomato looks brand spanking new, but has no nutritional value left! Scientist released results a while back that organic food generally contains about 35 % more vitamins and nutrients, and the ones with the GMO parts. That’s lot of nutrients....and not to mention this food tastes a heck of a lot better too. My guess is it’s probably more like 50 %, they tend to do some pretty selective testing.
Having so much fun with all these GMO’s foods, we could only get more exciting and take that next step. Alter your kids DNA and just for fun! Sounds great, I know I wanted green eyes at one point and wished I’d have them, I bet my kid would love green eyes because I would have. I’ll make my kid have them then, I can stare at them every day, and think how lucky my child is. Talk about too much parental infliction....and hey if changing eyes is allowed then I want to alter my son’s gene’s so that he grows breast because I think that equates my own gender rights, and the fight is on.
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics in the UK announced recently that modifying genes in human embryos could be “morally ethical.” The laws still state this is illegal stuff, and no one is allowed to do this yet, but the council got some surprised and angry responses at that comment like that is opening the flood gates to legalization. The idea is that if it’s in the child’s best interest, and doesn’t hurt society....why not. Another stated that it would widen the gap of disparity between people with diseases and those who have been modified and marginalize them even more. I’m guess because someone would be paying privately for the gene tailor. It would be a long time before they would make alterations covered in our regular health care program, which means the poor still get diseases, and rich get healthier and more beautiful. Until things go wrong of course, I’m throwing that in there because the likely would.
The most popular tool used to edit our DNA is called The Cripsr – Cas9, we can call it the Crapper for short. It was found to cause more damage to the DNA strand than previously thought, and shown that it could (and likely does) harm healthy genes during the alterations.
One thing they are having trouble predicting in all of this is how the genes repair themselves after you cut something out. It’s like gambling if you cut out the gene that could causes prostate cancer, the DNA strand will then fill itself in to become normal again.....but with what....? IT could actually be even worse stuff. A DNA modification to a human being would affect their every cell, including sperm and egg cells, these modifications would be passed down through generations....to your kids...what if something goes wrong? You'll have to go ask to the doctor AKA scientist person to alter the next generation to fix your mistakes? And on and on..... If even try this stuff, you better be dang sure and dang accurate....
An independent scientist from Harvard, George Church said DNA alterations would only benefit a potential 5% from getting specific diseases...... what is the motivation here? All of this to benefit only 5% is a pretty outlandish and dangerous thing to potentially legalize without barely any beneficial results.
Whatever happened to exercising and eating right.....just because you’ve got a “bad” gene doesn’t mean you’ll ever even have the disease in this lifetime. It’s an egotistical and morbid human curiosity.... “Can we be like God and create ourselves the way we want?” Yet it’s dangerous, and literally pointless. I will tell you, keep your hands off my DNA.
