France Info réalise encore un article sans recul sur la sélection d'embryons par "la génétique du QI".
90% de l'article reprend l'argumentaire d'une entreprise technofasciste et à la fin il y a juste une petite mise en garde d'un scientifique. C'est irresponsable.

À l’image de la guinguette itinérante de Wal et Xav, des étudiants d’écoles de commerce investissent la campagne. Une posture néorurale souvent condescendante, selon Emma Conquet pour qui le lien social ne passe pas que par les pratiques parisiennes.

Not being in a cage makes mice less stressed, feels like one of those things that shouldn't take a massive experiment to verify, but here we are. I suspect this may lead, down the line, to requiring new lab standards to certin experiment with these animal models. 🧪

But before I do, I have to note that it is excruciatingly clear that Ken is really mad that my reporting highlighted FIRE’s ties to big right-wing money.
He’s comparing the revelations of publicly available tax filings as something akin to a “Pharma-Rothschild conspiracy.”
