There is your answer.

Go to a city in the NE.

So you're saying no Jewish people live in kansas?

I guess the question would become would the sum of the population that was not able to receive the genetic therapy continue to procreate at the same rate?

I guess it raises a number of questions, mainly would the therapy be offered worldwide, or only to the first world countries?

I would think it would reflect now. Well off families have a few kids, welfare families have five plus. Homo Superiors would have one or two, norms would have twice that.

Hopefully to just first world. But it would eventually leach to 3rd. Those people would conquer and control with a iron fist. Just think of Africa now, now imagine a select few warlords genetically splicing their kids to control easier.

It is almost the same thing, you can treat deficiencies and correct them. Imagine stem cell procedures twenty years from now. Grow damaged limbs/organs.

My question has always been. What happens if you infuse healthy areas of the body with stem cells. Like muscles or certain areas of the brain. Would it stimulate greater use?

Doctors are already doing some of this. In my understanding, it's pretty specific at the moment, regarding what it can and cannot do. But it's a start. They're actively working on it at least. Impossible to predict, but I'd venture to guess we'll be seeing some amazing things in this regard over the next few decades.

Thanks for the link. My problem is it seems as though as these stem cell trials are done for folks who have recent SCI.
I'd love to find out what these '11 tests proved. The only thing they mention is the fact the stem cell procedure was safe, no results.




I'm an old hot rodder. I really enjoy my old muscle cars, have since high school. I now have the car I would have ordered new, my dream car.

I would sell it & any other material objects for a chance to walk again. If the stem cell would at least bring back my bowel & bladder functions I think I'd be happy.

I would think long term SCIs have a chance for organ function return but the muscle atrophy is probably beyond recovery. :(

I wonder what the pain level would be for repaired nerves but still atrophied muscles?

Where the **** are they?

This is good news IMO. The gene pool needs a booster.

Just watch an episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

You do realize that people like that are reproducing at 100x the rate of people who can afford designer in-vitro, right?

If they can trick the body into regrowing the spinal cord, then the muscles should be easy.

The body can actually regrow spinal nerve tissue it doesn't because there is the potential for worse injury and pain then having a severed spinal cord.

The thing is you want to rich to adapt technology because they drive the innovation with the inflated prices they pay to make it cheaper and more efficient to produce.

Also, anybody who wants replacement body parts wants the research being done now on adult stem cells to get more funding then infant stem cells. One there is a much greater supply that gets replenished and two using your own stem cells means no rejection syndrome.

Thanks for the interest.

A while back I was going to a gym working with a personal trainer. It was crazy, my right thigh muscle grew but my left one didn't. When I flexed (sporadic feeling below waist) the muscles bulged on the right but not left.

I don't know a lot about atrophy except I now have a couple toothpicks which is unfortunate since I'd always had pretty muscular legs'.

seriously. I have no problem with this. We are quickening our evolution.
Done correctly you could condition humans to live elsewhere. Travel the stars. Live in harsher conditions on earth.

Hell. Eventually you could become gods.

will be interesting 20 years from now if the modified humans become prevalent how religion will alter their stance on history or take credit.
