[DIYbio] Re: help me setup DIY-BIO home Lab to produce Recombinant Factor VIII

yes i need to give you citations phillyj i definitely need to give you citations and references for everything happening around the world  in particularly in pharma development coz some people like you act ignorant and behave as if nothing is wrong is happening and may it be phillyj or some people in this group will never acknowledge children dying with hemophilia or ALD as deeply as my typos...  

because you will always say using mammalian cells or gene therapy illegitimate illogic to use for some conservative thinkers they only preach safety and verbal skills that is nothing but elitist mindset which deviates entire debate by pointing out typos  , 

remember that there are a lot of crazy people in the world 100% against anything that has to do with culturing mammalian cell or manipulating genetics. Going up the route of treating somatic (non-inheritable genes) that are killing little kids is unfortunately the most bullet proof, emotionally knee jerk reaction fueled protection for that uphill battle. Remember that people are still 100% against allowing women access to abortions even in the cases where the mother wanted to carry it to term, but there are medical complications that are going to kill her and the fetus. There are also people against it in the instances of incest/rape. I keep that in mind whenever treading into new turf when it comes to science. It's not the fact that it's difficult to get funding, it's the fact that it's difficult in many cases to tip toe around the extremists who will picket your company into crippling regulation after regulation until you can't even work anymore.

People are super against gene therapy because "we're trying to play God". It's sad, but sometimes the best defense against that, even if it's not very profitable (though it is 100% the best application for the therapy) is to hold up the "picketing our research is robbing these children of the right to live" emotional card. Even if that's what we really want to do, it still feels dirty. But then I remember that stem cell research was put on hold for years because crazy people were sending death threats to people and companies over it. Even when those stem cells were taken from the umbilical cords of kids born to happy parents.

If we started up with "look! It's just like plastic surgery!" the extremists will start throwing around buzzwords like "Nazis, Gattaca, Eugenics, racial extermination". You name it, I've even heard people start claiming that zombies were going to come of this, all because that's the plot of "I am Legend". Going slow by working on little kids with cancer is usually the morally best route, as well as the route that keeps you safest from the crazies.
