Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No it isn't. All this microphone leak tells us is that these leaders are very far away from reality.

Man inadvertently broadcasts his insecurities and how he copes.

Yeah, other than the horrific ghoulishness of it all, organ failure after transplant and rejection is still relatively high, and you have to be on medicine to prevent that rejection your entire life. You're going down Putin old boy.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they have an island of clones to get over that problem.

You can’t get past the old brain problem though so Donny’s shit out of luck.

Yeah, you can't just stick a new engine in an old car when the frame is rusted out and ready to give way

What if you get skin, muscle, and bone transplants?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope to never have to experience one organ transplant. They are morons if they think this is an elective option you’d want to do multiple times. Every single time is a threat to your life.

And life-long immunosuppressants with the constant mortal fear of a cough or runny nose. Sepsis is no joke and can easily develop in a matter of hours if you don't have a healthy immune system.

I hope we gain more control over our immune systems in the coming years. They protect us, but they can also kill us. I have people in my family with life threatening allergies, and gosh it would be amazing if we could just get our bodies to accept a transplanted organ that is literally keeping them alive.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It'll happen. But not for poor people.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It tells us they're fucking morons. So nothing new.

Are they hoping for Jupiter, or Repo the Genetic Opera? Because this isn't even close to Gattaca.

Either way, this has been a Science Fiction Movie.
