Do you think billionaires have too much?
Hold that thought.
There is a proposed tax on billionaire wealth and I want to come back to that.

Do you think trillionaires have too much wealth?

Huh, I'm curious what effect this knowledge might have (if any) on #transgender persons and their existence:

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1122852?user_id=688df53416db12a71511c696

Does it mean that we might soon find whatever "causes" transgenderism in the DNA and be able to filter it out of the population over time using #eugenics?

This is a moral dilemma, and top of my mind right now as I'm #actuallyautistic that they might consider something similar if they can find an "autistic letter".

Is it moral to prevent someone from being born the sex that they don't "feel" before they have a chance to feel that way?

Is it moral to "fix" people from having #autism?

This also isn't just a moral question, but also a #scientific one and practical one, because if you can code "out" undesirable traits, that could lean to population "gene shallowing". Anyone remember what happened to the #GrosMichel #banana? And what might be starting to happen with the #Cavendish banana if the #Panamadisease continues to spread?

If we started gene or even DNA editing en masse, we could be writing #humanity an early grave.

It's something to consider and #discuss, I think.

One DNA letter can trigger complete sex reversal, Bar-Ilan University study finds

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a single-letter insertion in a non-coding regulatory region caused XX mice, which would normally develop as females, to develop instead as males with testis and male genitalia.
