Had a conversation with my kid the other day about a book I was reading and ended up discussing genetic modification and why people are concerned about it. We talked about the Chinese scientist who modified babies to resist HIV, issues with eugenics, racism, economic disparity, the whole bit. We were out getting some pizza, and I think the couple in the booth behind us was listening in lol.
We have odd conversations all the time though, to be fair.
Pls tell me more about the Chinese scientist?

Thanks. Now please tell me the formula to synthesize superhuman serum.
(((genentically modified human * drawBlood) * clotting) * takeSeparatedSerum) = superhuman serum
not sure what you're going to do with blood serum, though - it's not special
