The astonishing embryo models of Jacob Hanna
Scientists are creating the beginnings of bodies without sperm or eggs. How far should they be allowed to go?

69.97% certain he's referencing something he heard from people with relevant expertise. IVF clinics have nothing if not aneuploid embryos at hand.

anyway, FYI, here is a person will billions in crypto proposing something (unspecified) about trisomy KO on the other site.

Right. I am not sure of the tactic, but you can see it's interesting to strategize how to get rid of a trisomy.

I see the figures thanks for the link.

My q has been: i rob(14;21) such as case? Based on the chart seems like if a carrier generated many embryos some would be unaffected?
September 25, 2025 at 1:38 PM
cool. evo theory. These robs are a potential target of CRISPR. Use it to shred the extra bit (in zygote i guess). Some seek a situation/justification where germline editing would be *necessary* to obtain a healthy embryo (i.e. can't be done via embryo selection).

thanks for posting. this is a very confusing phenomenon

Can anyone find a Berman MF et al. Neurotoxicology 2008; 29(5), 914–922 ?

I call it business-casual eugenics

glenn cohen commented recently that rules like that in the rider are surpassingly difficult to change. he presented at the "Observatory" meeting with a live reading of the rider. It was the first time I really appreciated it.

For example, just this year an SEC lawsuit against Coinbase--for trading unregistered securities--was dismissed, reflecting a favorable re-assessment of crypto, from crime coin to real money.

Similarly, online gambling + marijuana. from illegal to legal

CRISPR babies next?
