    I’m concerned about the first application of crispr to make super soldiers.

    A few genes flipped and the army coming out the other side would be terrifying.

      Strong soldiers are cool and all but I feel war has progressed way passed that, what with all the drone vids of the ukraine war and such.

      unless we have gene edited people that are pro gamers, in which case id cry a bit when I run into them online ;w;

          yeah I hear you but drones remove boots on the ground from the other guys without removing boots on the ground from your guys.

      Modern wars are won with technology. Tanks, planes and drones. Super soldiers wouldn’t make much of a difference these days.
