red tape doesnt take centuries to cut
Not necessarily, but the advancement of the technology and refinement of the technique are not progressing very quickly and since it’s so far away from human application, there’s not a lot of money/investment in it.
there are clinical trials for gene therapy right now.
i can see arguing that it isnt close, because it doesnt look close, but id bet it will come in decades rather than centuries.
Gene therapy is not the same thing as CRISPR. CRISPR is modifying the genome before the organism makes it past 1 cell.
thats not true at all. crispr gene therapy was just approved by the fda for sickle cell syndrome.
