Rogue Scientist edits his own DNA to make himself superhuman

-The Odin -The Odin

Web Desk: A biochemist Josiah Zayner is the first person who attempted to edit his own DNA to make himself superman by boosting strength and muscles growth.

He removed a protein myostatin from his muscle with the help of CRISPR tool. He stated that, “In the first time in the history that we are no longer slaves to our genetics”

In US and UK, editing your DNA is not illegal.

Zayner  was an ex-NASA worker whose firms sells DIY gene-editing kits, live-streamed himself injecting the modified copy of his DNA.
