"This may even allow us to survive on Mars or any other places if we actually know how to edit the gene."

How in the world did you make that leap? What's the one gene we can edit that reconfigures human physiology to run off of CO2?


It's not just one gene, it's two. I toggle them back and forth all the time. A third one gives me gills.

Seriously? Why wouldn't you make that leap? and why would you assume they would presume to know what gene or if it was even one gene?
