The second will be giant tits followed by big asses. FFS, did you read the article? They're not editing human DNA, they're growing organs inside of animals in order to transplant it to sick patients awaiting transplants. If you seriously think growing and transplanting giant dicks is the top of human priorities before live-saving organ transplants then something's wrong with you. Unless you're obsessing about giant dicks 24/7 in which case your interest is understandable. you obviously never watched idiocracy it is a documentary about the future giant dicks are coming Believe me when I tell you that even more hated than the Viagra deliver van would be enlarged designer dicks the ladies would have to suffer. Really, they just want it over with in a pleasant and mutually agreeable way, without injury |

No, we should work to prevent polluting the fuck out of our environment and bodies so we don't need new organs all the time. I mean ffs, we've been alive for thousands or millions of years and I highly doubt we're at the pinnacle of health or longevity like the medical propaganda associations would have you believe.

Lumberghini User ID: 77843620 United States 08/23/2019 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China needs new organs because their environment is literally beyond fucked and they are seeing their citizen's bodies start showing the effects of being sponge-filters for the contamination. The amount of plastic contamination ALONE in almost ALL of their waterways is enough to have them in trouble. Their government isn't dumb, they know their population is going to face catastrophic health problems in the near future. Yet China being China, they don't give a fuck. They will survive under any means necessary (this is what makes them dangerous) including experimenting with shit like this just to keep their population numbers maintained. All of that isn't unique to China, we have a lot of environmental contamination in the U.S. as well, but the scale in China is enormous. To be fair, one place we really fucked up here in the U.S. was with Hanford waste site in Washington State. The containers leaked and seeped all into the underground aquifers and and ground water in general. Where I live, agricultural run-off has contaminated close to 100% of private wells in certain counties. TRUMP 2020 Willam Barr 2024 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70743873 United States 08/23/2019 02:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Recently, a Chinese startup named Qihan Biotech raised $20 million to develop replacement organs for humans. The smallish deal would hardly have rated a headline, except for the fact that the Hangzhou-based gene-editing company is aiming to grow those organs in pigs and other animals. If successful, such transplants could well transform medicine. And, thanks to a unique confluence of need, money, timing and culture, China is poised to lead the way in developing them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77944999 The history of using animal tissues to replace damaged or diseased human tissues, known as xenotransplantation, dates back at least to 16th century Europe. Science-based efforts gathered momentum in the 19th century, but stalled out as practitioners and patients discovered how strongly the human body rejects foreign organs. Medicine achieved a breakthrough only in the mid-20th century with the advent of immuno-suppressing drugs. Xenotransplantation has since become a recognized branch of medicine. Heart valves from pigs, for instance, are commonly used to replace faulty human ones. However, transplanting a complete, functioning animal organ such as a heart presents far more formidable barriers, the most crucial being the need to suppress or fool the human body's immune response. China's scientists have become world leaders in editing the pig genome to do just that. The hope is to produce organs that can help people with a range of illnesses, from heart disease to blindness.
