theres tons of animals who have genes which in some way inhibit, reverse or reduce the effects
Yeah! Like the Immortal Jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii). But how do we isolate the gene responsible for that and recreate it in humans with a full prediction of the outcome? Now, that's where the challenges lie.
Well, let's just keep an open mind and watch what the future holds.
Thanks for coming around
I think CRISPR is a very eager candidate for that task and might just lead us to genetic manipulation that was once thought impossible, as in some cases it already has.
And no worries, always happy to have a neat debate on some scifi mumbo jumbo.
