Title: CRISPR Therapeutics - Gene Editing
Post by: Cassia on July 17, 2022, 09:44:58 PM
 Buying stock on these types of companies now (NTLA, EDIT, CRSP, CRBU, BEAM) is probably like getting in on Microsoft and Apple early. Just saying. The 20-year returns for gene therapy will be huge (talkin to you younger folks).

I'll have to look at my portfolio. :rolleyes: I'm pretty well diversified, though. Bubble gum wrappers are bringing a premium...

If they do prove that engineering genes to kill cancer cells is safe and effective, the real question....will some people live for 200 years?

My wife doesn't believe me, but I told her that if GATTACA ever becomes a reality baldness will disappear in 2 generations.
