Funny, I don't feel controlled. I mean I know I am by the fundamental laws of nature, but that's a given. These guys just wanna play god but don't wanna say it.
Honestly I've always been torn on this. We have an ethical duty to the generations to come. If we can intert genes to block genetic diseases and make people resistant to disease we absolutely should.
However, I don't think we can be trusted with this technology. It will be used to serve vain and racist ideologies. Also if we get into an arms race with the natural order we have to include every human. If we make People resistant to disease then those organisms will evolve to be more infectious. If not everyone has been altered to be more resistant then those without will be at risk. Currently this type of tech will only be used to benefit the wealthy.
Of course I guess that's the issue with all human progress, when have we ever been ready to utilize our technologies for the greater good?
He’s known for using gene splicing on babies without consulting anyone in the scientific community first and was later found guilty of illegal practice of medicine. So, yeah lol

I forget which of the originals it was from ... It wasn't a romhack, it was OG like maybe yellow. But if you walk away from prof when he offers you the original 3 Pokemons, you have the option to choose Pikachu or prevent the Epstein class from ever existing.
