• Josiah Zayner : BioHacking CRISPR Cas9

    From warmfuzzy@700:100/33 to All on Sun Mar 17 18:16:14 2024
    Have you ever wanted to be a super hero or genetically engineered super soldier? Well now you can! Hip Hip Hurray! Sounds wild huh? Well since this past decade you can now cut and paste genes from animal to animal or even <some random living organism> to human modification.

    Well, now you can insert genetic materials via the CRISPR Cas9 insertion/removal tool that can boost muscle formation in any person who wants it. There is a certain genetic sequence that produces the effect of having non-stop muscle formation. So imagine that you are the wimpy kid in school and want to dope up to be a mixed martial arts fighter... This is how it would be done.

    The leading personality in BioHacking is Josiah Zayner, who injected himself with some version of this gene sequence while live at a conference and on video. He is selling a DIY (do it yourself) kit online so that people can run their own underground bio hacking laboratory. Sounds cool 'eh? Making your very own secret lab... It makes you curious with intrigue, however this technology may transfer genetic material from one dosed person to someone else who isn't dosed, that it is contagious and can change our germ line apart from our own concent. It is kind of like putting bleach into our gene pool. That sounds kinda' funny right? Well wild experimentation on things relating to our germ line genetics can destroy our people as the Human species as a whole. If you are scared, then good! Make your voice loud in opposition to this, it could be that your species is prolonged by your countering the position of libre bio-hacking. I know, I know, biohacking sounds really attractive as its got the word "hacking" in it, but don't be mistaken, this can ruin us.

    Thoughtfully Yours,

    Hello warmfuzzy!

    The leading personality in BioHacking is Josiah Zayner, who injected himself with some version of this gene sequence while live at a conference and on video. He is selling a DIY (do it yourself) kit online so that people can run their own underground bio hacking laboratory. Sounds cool 'eh? Making your very own secret lab...

    apparently he was a she.

    in a few articles i found, zayner regrets doing the injection.

    the rest of the conversation sounds confusing. zayner wants to
    empower people to discover gene splicing, encouraging possible
    advances that a typical/formal lab might be restricted with.
    yet, at the same time zayner hints at concerns that people can
    hurt themselves thinking that self injections are safe and ok
    to do.

    it looks like zayner is primarily interested in selling kits
    and lab supplies to the weekend wannabe bioengineer.
