  3. China confirms birth of gene-edited babies, blames scientist He Jiankui for breaking rules The article doesn't say, but what I believe he did was take a couple with AIDS and make a baby without AIDS. The article does say he had a team that included some foreigners. An American among them. Michael W. Deem, from Rice University. And I've read American bioethicist Arthur Caplan at NYU make a defense along the lines of "it's going to happen anyway, so lets manage this so we're not making designer babies, but we are curing disease". https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/2182964/china-confirms-gene-edited-babies-blames-scientist-he-jiankui

  9. The US has already built some amazingly effective walls that no individual has ever breached. And they are very well guarded and funded. Trump family is going to be impressed.

  12. RPM, nobody gives a shit about a school in Pakistan.
  13. Pro Tip: Before putting any ingredients into the pressure cooker, make certain the pot is in the cooker. I hate my life.
  14. Breaking news? Nothing in there that wasn’t reported at the time.
  15. TV said they used a hand saw from Home Depot and it took 15-20 minutes.
  16. Safe to say this rapist has been raping other women in the hospital. Their CEO has stepped down.
  17. Came here to post this. LJH will make a roster next fall. No shortage of NFL teams with an immediate need at WR for a player like LJH.
