That’s some repulsive imagery you’ve painted.

“We’ve taken a gray wolf genome, a gray wolf cell. which is already genetically 99.5% identical to dire wolves because they’re very closely related,” Shapiro said. “And we’ve edited those cells at multiple places in its DNA sequence to contain the dire wolf version of the DNA.”

My understanding is that that they identified genes associated with 20 key characteristics of direwolves, and edited those genes in the grey wolf genome. I guarantee that there are likely thousands of direwolf genes that they overlooked, so technically they didn’t create a direwolf. They created a grey wolf that looks like a direwolf.

Then it’ll be quite the disaster. A huge chunk of those that voted for Trump are from farm country. If they don’t feel the full force of the repercussions that they helped cause, then they may not learn their lesson. No bailouts.

That’s what they’re claiming, but we all know that’s bullshit. If President Trump called up the president of El Salvador and demanded that they return the guy, it would happen. The judge knows this, which is why he ordered the return. Now we get to find out what, if anything, might happen if the government flouts the order.

I’m sure the fact that the steering wheel is a rectangle makes this issue all the more annoying.

How can this be constitutional? This is a huge governmental intrusion into the personal lives of these personnel. I understand what the concern is, but I’ve never seen such an attempt to rule over the personal lives of employees.
