The ramifications of this tech is insane.
White supremacists could target blacks.
Black supremacists could target whites.
Muslim supremacists could target jews.
And the list goes on.
It's insanity that this is even being explored.

As if DOD would develop cancer cures, and then actually share them with The People.
For how stout you present yourself you seriously cant be that thick.

Can you imagine the horror?
DARPA is developing gene editing that would allow them to target almost any organism including human subsets. What is the point of such research? Why would we ever develop technology like this? How could any sane person think this could be safely deployed even if it was developed?
With it becoming so easy to edit genes it seems it would be easy to develop genetic weapons that specifically target groups of humans from some micro-lab or even terrorist bunker. It is truly frighting.
Should DARPA be developing this tech? Is there ANY situation where something like this should even be considered as a viable weapon? Do you see this as the potential 'terrorism' of the future?
The U.S. military agency known as DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is investing $100 million into so-called “genetic extinction technologies” that could be deployed to exterminate targeted human populations.

It doesnt matter who creates it, especially the U.S....the U.S. has a tendency to sell all kinds of weapons to Uranium directly to Enemies.

The only thing i can think of other than destroying mankind is, So they can control the human population and keep the rich "richer" so to speak.
