Why are there so many side effects to modifying Dna sequences? Why would it not be considered safe to altern Humans’ Dna and what makes it dangerous?
In: Biology
Because there’s literally billions of genes to deal with, and nobody really knows how they interact with one another. Maybe you modify gene #4567 to have blond hair, but that gene also interacts with gene #87624 which is responsible for how much calcium there’s in your bones. So you get a blond human, but with glass bones. There are so many places where you could fuck up that it’s not worth the risk.
