Fatties beware: your nuts are in danger!

Perspectives on our world and our universe, how it works, what is happening, and why it happens. Whether by a hidden hand or natural laws, we come together to hash it out, and perhaps provide a little bit of education and enlightenment for others. This is a place for civil discussion. Please keep it that way.
Forum rules
1) Remain civil. Respect others' rights to their viewpoints, even if you believe them to be completely wrong.
2) Sourcing your information is highly recommended. Plagiarism will get you banned.
3) Please create a new thread for a new topic, even if you think it might not get a lot of responses. Do not create mega-threads.
4) If you think the subject of a thread is not important enough to merit a post, simply avoid posting in it. If enough people agree, it will fall off the page soon enough.

This discussion started on Mar. 29, I think the writer of the article needs to refresh his/herself on the concept of an April Fools joke.

I'm not sure how I feel about the selected replacement of genes in people. I'm pretty sure we currently do it in plants and animals, and there should be no logical reason to not allow it in humans as well, but I'm still not sure about my feelings on it.
