Re: [DIYbio] Privately funded designer babies

I base my comments on the slides that are supposedly taken from their presentation. They're the ones saying they want to start with muscle growth and longevity. No mention of starting with SNPs or other simple things.

I can also assure you that the plan in their Use of Funds slide is ludicrous. $0.5-2m to set up a lab, do testing in 12 dogs, using a single scientist, then move into humans and create the first man with transgenic sperm? $5-10m to make the procedure "as safe as possible" and maybe build their own IVF lab? I've been working in biotech for 30 years, I promise you that's not remotely realistic.

So unless those slides are fakes, I stand by my assessment: these guys are either very naive or delusional.
