Sigh

There's always so many things to keep a mind's eye on.

A mind's eye and a number of useful assets.

Interesting. Using mutations to eradicate mutations. From a scientific point of view, this is a huge achievement.

From the average American's point of view, it's only one step closer to genetically engineering children to be exactly what they want.

Thank you for sharing this article. I will be researching it further.

Proud to say I understand basically none of this.

Interesting. I could see a number of applications and abuses that could result. Something to watch closely.
