Someone gets it! I've been saying "gene splicing" or "genetic modification" any chance I get, and throw in some Bioshock references for the lulz

fun fact: mRNA can be used to inject novel strains of genetic material into new cells. apart from the fact that nobody knows what the fuck this thing does, also nobody knows what the long-term effects will be. there's a reason mRNA treatments have never been approved in use in human patients before: ethical concerns that it might cause cancer. if you interrupt the expression of telomere chains, you could accelerate cellular degeneration. not saying that will happen, but there's no way to know that it won't. they're gonna inject a billion guinea pigs and see what happens.
