Perhaps if we put a moratorium of gene editing on Earth and only allowed it on settled planets with one way tickets it might be a good idea.

Just passed through Hong Kong Airport and was not impressed at all. Had to ride a bus to board connecting flight... Inchoen is 10 times better. Cathy Pacific was pretty bad all my check in bags were 2 days late, going back to Asiana Airlines.

Huawei have their manufacturing base in Shenzhen. 150,000 people in one campus. And half of them are doing R&D. Let that sink in for a while.

Do you want to create a global dystopia? Because genome editing is a surefire way to create a global dystopia.
This scientist was only able to do this because he was in China where law and ethics and government oversight are a joke. By this time next year there will be carts and stalls in all the street markets in China offering genetic tailoring and shortly after that these mutants will band together...

As an old timer (59) I say give me my 1.3 million dollars (or so) that I***8217;ve invested in the S.S. program over the last 45 years and go ahead and cut the program.

Social Security is a retirement investment scheme forced upon me ... not an entitlement program.

Go learn yo***8217;self.

social security is an entitlement program

social security pays out taxes from those currently working to those who aren't working. you do not have an account like a 401k where the funds are held in trust, benefits are paid out until death and you can even get spousal benefits.

it's just welfare for old people made to look like a pension plan so they don't feel bad about being welfare queens. same thing with medicare

It wasn’t set up that way. When the program started to glut with cash Pres.Eisenhower thought it would be a good idea to “borrow” the cash and leave I.O.U.s in the account. The money I put in (and matched by my employer) was real cash earning real interest. As usual the government run program went all to hell and calling it an entitlement program doesn’t make it one. Getting free cash without prior input or investment (like food stamps) is an entitlement (hand out.)

Correct. For example. When I was on disability my monthly amount was based on my work credits.

social security has been paying out benefits to retirees well beyond what they put in since the very start of the program. again it's a direct transfer from tax payers to retirees. you don't have an account with social security, they aren't holding the money in trust for you, and the benefits you receive are unbounded by what you paid in.

it's a welfare program that transfers taxes from those who pay in to those who are receiving benefits. just because you feel entitled to get paid out because you paid your taxes doesn't change what the program is.
