Scientists Create First Living Organism With 'Artificial' DNA


yes sometimes they can be helpful. in the majority of the time they are harmful or lethal.
that is why this needs to be studied throughly before they start doing anything else.

plus they would need to know what would happen if they actually put it in a live host. making it isolated is one thing injecting it into a live host is something else.
that could have disasterous results.
 
It meant something. I'm guessing most people that read it understood it quite well.

last time i check fallacies were not arguments they were the sign of someone that can't carry an argument and are resorted to trying to debase someone to try and prove their point.
it shows just how bad you are at a discussion is all that it shows. needless to say i won't respond to anymore of these off topic comments from you.
 
I think its more likely that this wont happen do to sheer happening. This will be engineered and plotted out. It will start with walled cities and end with technology = undefeatable sorcery to the uninitiated. Then eventually one of the "Gods" of the city will go rogue and share technology with all or earth, destroy all technology and reset, or destroy the earth.
 

Someone is probably going to bash me for this but why not experiment this on criminals convicted for things like mass murder and mass rape? Not like we need them anymore, perfect beings to test this on, think of it as hell for what they did in case hell doesn't exist
 

yes because we want to create geneticly mutated murders and rapists.
 
Because how many comic-book supervillans started when the government decided to experiment on prisoners?

:2razz:

Hahahaha, they have life sentences, they wnt go anywhere, plus security is insane for the experiments. No genetic mutation realistically by this kind of experimentation would be able to withstand huge brunt force. This isn't a movie, dispose of the criminals after testing is complete, they're good for nothing but results, afterwards they can go in the earth.

They lost all their rights when they broke the laws in such a way anyway.
 

depends they could make zombie criminals. i mean that is how all the zombie movies start anyway some scientist thinking that he is cool makes a stupid DNA mutation that he accidently infects himself or someone else gets infected.

yes i know it is the movies but what they are messing with is real and can have unexpected results.

It will never get that far. War would erupt during the debate over what color these new people should be.

Science is easy, sociology is hard.
 

No doubt about it, but if you actually read upon what the effects are of the new DNA nucleotide bases you would understand that it essentially helps create more codons to create more proteins which allows for a richer internal environment inside someone. It doesn't take some random person and turn him into a 10 foot tall invincible giant that can withstand 50 Cals. and 120MM smoothbore cannons.

Point in case, get your mind out of sci-fi, should something go wrong the sheer firepower of security will handle it.

Sociology is a rough life indeed, never before has a major cost so much to earn but give so ****ing little XD
 

if you haven't noticed i am being a bit sarcastic.

I am just urging caution. as what it is suppose to do doesn't mean that it will do that.
it has nothing to do with sci-fi other than mixing a bit of humor into it.

I think it is interesting but more research is needed.
 

Remember there is no tone in the internet >.> I cannot distinguish anything really other than fact and opinion without at least the help of a smilie (and even then its a grey area).
 
Well, I think if we don't wipe ourselves out that via technology, humans will be as close to immortality as possible. And think of it. It was done by humans...just humans. :shock: I love it!

In terms of consciousness and spirituality, we might already be immortal.
 
Except for, you know, keeping him alive for years after his spinal cord injury.

That's not what the picture depicts, it shows boys running. So you support an exaggerated lie. I'm not surprise.
 

Gawd.
It was hyperbole, I thought, the first time but now you sound half-serious.
 

Considering there are galaxies eons older than ours and that the stars closer to the galactic core are hundreds of millions/billions older than Sol, that's unlikely.
 
Dead serious, criminals should have absolutely no rights depending on the crime.

How does one get such a touching, child-like faith in the state that they'd give it that kind of power? I wouldn't give the government the right to capital punishment- I don't trust the beast enough.
How do you know you're 'liberal' with that level of confidence in authority?
 

Already explained in other threads how I am mainly Liberal yet have other views compared to Liberals.

Yes, in terms of handling cruel criminals, I do give a "child-like" faith in the govt. It's bad enough these murderers get fed and housed for life, may as well put them to use.
