Gene Therapy

[FlyingJesus]

This apparently bears repeating:
A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism.

If anyone fancies getting back to the real topic that would be fab it's one I find quite interesting

Guys, the threads gonna be closed for a little while as we think the discussion is getting out of hand.

Once we can all play nicely and talk about the actual thread topic, which is gene therapy *and the replies aren't personal*, then the thread shall be reopened!

Have a nice, relaxed night xo

Holy shit does it really matter what it's called? I feel like this is becoming a whole different debate lmao.

Why not, im all for development. I dont care if its good or bad as long as its development. We shouldnt go backwards only forward.

Autism isnt bad, majority of the world got soem degree of autism, and most people i know got diagnosed autism and thats alot of people.
Autism is very different from person to person, soem people you cant even see a difference from ''normal'' people. It may just be in their head that there is a symptom.

The Karolinska institutions, based in Swedens, research on Autism shows that out of 10 symptoms on autism, 80% of the world have 7 of the symptoms, which could be undiagnosed autism of some degree.

That's not the same as the majority of the world having autism. Showing symptoms of something is not the same as having a disease.

Most people in western countries probably show symptoms of depression but it would be foolish to say they are depressed.

I didnt say they have autism, i said they have it to some degree, i.e major symptoms.

I think people were so worked up about things and my plan to kill people got in the way of your question and we forgot, what was it again?
