[MBeanie]

I don't even no what to say, this is just bizarre.

 

[Transhuman]

Dude. Go back on your meds and wait for human trials to start, if they ever happen.

But I also didn't realize how close we are to living to a time where people can just start self injecting with unproven gene therapies.

Nah fuck that. Be like Daniel Alcides Carrión or Barry Marshall, inject all the viruses, drink all the bacteria, then win all the Nobel Prizes, and fuck all the women.

 

[Dyle]

Era, I'm about to inject myself with untested gene therapy, what should I do?

Don't eat the syringe around the untested gene therapy.

 

[WhoTurgled]

well its no longer untested gene therapy

 

[SRG01]

I have a feeling that quitting his antiretrovirals and self-administering untested gene therapy are related symptoms of some underlying behavioral issue...

 

[Relix]

This is how we get superpowers

 

[lordlad]

Nanomachines, son.

Hideo Kojima is right.

 

[Z-Beat]

Between the untested gene therapy, the tagging FBI headquarters, and the only being paid in cryptocurrency, I'm beginning to think this guy might not be the most rational.

 

[Toxi]

Jesus Christ.

What is wrought from all those Marvel movies

 

[Oyashiro-Sama]

This is how the zombie apocalypse happens.

Where did he get this? He bought it online? Im confused.

 

[Fart Master]

Nah fuck that. Be like Daniel Alcides Carrión or Barry Marshall, inject all the viruses, drink all the bacteria, then win all the Nobel Prizes, and fuck all the women.

Oh yeah he's going to turn into the abomination from the Incredible Hulk.

 

[JustinBailey]

I can't decide if he is my hero or a dumbface. The base idea is more sound than our current world operates, that's for sure.

You joke, but I can definitely see this happening in a few years.

I don't blame the guy. So young still, and a lifetime of drugs and side-effects and like he said seeing his own blood as poison. I completely understand where he comes from.

I have kids, so I'd use the drugs available because of them.. but if I didn't.. I'd do what he is doing. Maybe he is never cured, but maybe he helps discover a cure. Either way, he is going to try.

I can appreciate that.

 

[shadowkat]

That's just crazy.

Ascendance Biomedical?

Gtfoh.
