  1. Huh, I'm curious what effect this knowledge might have (if any) on #transgender persons and their existence:

    eurekalert.org/news-releases/1

    Does it mean that we might soon find whatever "causes" transgenderism in the DNA and be able to filter it out of the population over time using #eugenics?

    This is a moral dilemma, and top of my mind right now as I'm #actuallyautistic that they might consider something similar if they can find an "autistic letter".

    Is it moral to prevent someone from being born the sex that they don't "feel" before they have a chance to feel that way?

    Is it moral to "fix" people from having #autism?

    This also isn't just a moral question, but also a #scientific one and practical one, because if you can code "out" undesirable traits, that could lean to population "gene shallowing". Anyone remember what happened to the #GrosMichel #banana? And what might be starting to happen with the #Cavendish banana if the #Panamadisease continues to spread?

    If we started gene or even DNA editing en masse, we could be writing #humanity an early grave.

    It's something to consider and #discuss, I think.

  2. Heuer die #TdF ja noch passiver mitbekommend als sonst, aber die #GCN Zusammenfassungen, von dem, was da manche mit zwei Beinen in der Lage sind zu fahren, ist jeden Abend ein Genuss.

    #WvA #Pogi und #Vingegaard einfach Wahnsinn.

    Dass #Gall heuer so gut dabei ist und heute im Bergtrikot fuhr, auch nicht schlecht.

    Ob morgen #Cavendish den Rekord einstellt? Es ist ihm zu wünschen.
