There’s this docu series on netflix (unnatural selection) about genetic engineering in general but also about some people (with and without science background) who believe that anyone should be able to do genetic engineering at home (Josiah Zayner is one of them, i believe he still sells lab equipment and reagents for anyone who want to do some DIY bio-engineering). They also follow this guy who stopped taking his HIV meds and started using some kind of antibody that was developed by some shady company (it didn’t work and guess what; not a single physician was involved). I believe one of these shady guys was found dead in a sensory deprivation pod with ketamine in his blood.

I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with eugenics. Screening for genetic diseases before birth is eugenics, selecting the best embryos for ivf is eugenics. Believing that people with severe genetic disabilities should be counseled before conceiving is eugenics as well.

The issue is the way it’s done and the reason for it.

Not sure to be honest but i’m guessing that enough would be left and that the air would resorb and new CSF would be made in the ventricles.

Weird, it works for me. Maybe this link works: https://lemmy.world/c/neuro

Eyes in general are crazy, the last common ancestor between octopuses and humans didn’t even have eyes so both types of eyes developed independently.

One of my math teachers explained it exactly like this. ‘For the people who know how to program: this is the same as using a for loop’.
