The issue is that this guy just kind of did it without going through any of the normal check steps to make sure he was doing it right or there wouldn’t be any unexpected consequences

No there absolutely is a way without unconsented human experiments. You can go slow and prove every step of your procedure is save (enough) before doing it. That way you dont have to lie to the other people involved.

It’s also extra fucked that he essentially experimented on what are now small children’s lives without any concern that it might severely impact them in unforeseen ways, for the rest of their existence. And all for questionable gain because he apparently didn’t really achieve the objective of making them immune to HIV.

… You’re sweeping thousands of years of technology being considered “playing God” under the rug like that’s not a thing. Even though in this case, the phrase couldn’t get closer to being accurate.

So he’s like an irl Noonian Singh, got it.

The wiki link said he went to prison and is forbidden from practicing. Why is he tweeting this while wearing the proverbial white lab coat?

moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 14:22 next collapse

clearly he escaped and is tweeting about his new schemes

He only got three years but China changed the laws based on this dickhead so now it’s a lot more. In China at least. I’m sure there are plenty of countries where it’s only marginally illegal.

I’m tired of seeing his stupid face

Ah, thanks to those clarifying who this schmuck is.

At first I wondered if it was the meme author? Lol at getting your headshot out there. Random Asian scientist? Eeeeeh, tip toeing into racist undertones with the repeat posts.

IRL jackass running unethical and illegal human experimentation? Bring on all the memes and then some.

Cool… more post about this fucking shithead.

Just stop amplifying these kinds assholes.
