    This is awesome, but what’s the political aspect? Just seems like great news anyone from any political side could get behind.

      Oh. It’s political. You think the far right will approve of “playing god” with Gene editing? Remember the shitstorm that stem cells caused like 15 or so years ago?

      from any political side

      I think this one rides the line tbh. My thinking was that it was put out by a government agency and I’m 99% sure there are some r’s that aren’t going to like it. I also think it’s great news though.

        Sadly, I think you’re right. Republicans will denounce it just like they denounced vaccines, which will make something that shouldn’t be political into a political issue. Ugh.
