Brain tweak turns wimpy mice into dominant leaders - life - 29 September 2011 - New Scientist
Have you seen the Movie "Serenity"? The horizons this development opens is remarkable, and intriguing. As a Villain One would twirl my mustache and tell you "World Domination!" -but what else? It's an application of fundamental change using a retrovirus - from what One understands, the change IS a change, not a temporary condition. What if the genetic change is transferable? Could a species be changed? The dominant mating to crowd out the meek? A new breed of what?
Serenity was exactly what I was thinking of, actually.
While retroviruses are hit and miss (getting infected doesn't neccesarily mean that the gene will be spliced into you, or spliced in correctly) it would transferrable to those who get Rage-spliced. I'm thinking Jersey Shore on Steroids.
Cool stuff, although I can't help but wonder if it's yet another possible vector for a zombie apocalypse?
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, being able to treat difficult conditions like anxiety and who knows what else is very exciting. Where can I buy stock?
