You can’t stop it … gene therapy is going to change everything
After reading the article below, along with this article, about this particular discovery I realized that the genetic revolution is coming much faster than we believe … and its not going to stop. And no matter what the various sports and Olympic groups believe, they are only going to fall behind the times if they think they can “test” for “enhanced humans.”
As we learn more and more about how genes work, and how to perform “gene therapy” the modifications that occur are going to become more and more “natural” … harder and harder to detect. The only differences between this, and “breeding” people is that this can be done in less time. “Genetic manipulation” is going to become a way of life … we might attempt to control and regulate it here … however there will be other places or countries that capitalize on allowing it. And it will be tough to tell the difference between “natural” and “genetically manipulated” …
Gene Therapy Shows Its Muscle. Scientists working to help muscular dystrophy patients have developed a gene therapy that could be used illegally to build super athletes. Sports officials are looking for ways to detect the genetic manipulation. [Wired News]
