Actually @pvdl is being realistic about a lot of stuff, despite that from side it looks pesimistic. All that chat here about editing the genes in 10 years mark, it just wonât happen, look at the medicine and at what pace is developing, they canât fix one osteoarthritis, or osteoporosis what about PFS where the osteoporosis is just one of the sides you can get⌠Anyway, I hope I will get proved wrong tho!
Maybe wwIIIâŚThen we can all get blown up together and nobody will suffer or their families wonât have to suffer we will all go together quicklyâŚ

I honestly believe you want someone to come along and tell you everything is going to be alright and thatâs not a crime but you have to understand there is people like myself hanging on by a thread and to hear you come up with the same rhetoric is annoying. We wonât have to use CRISPR to edit our genes we just need to find a way to target the genes that have been methylated and demethylate them thatâs how we fix this mess. There will be much less resistance to this approach as opposed to editing a gene.

I agree. If we canât have answers today, support would be a nice alternative to a near constant dose of ârealityâ served up in the most depressing of terms. Please consider the community at large. If we must live with this for a while, Iâd rather be hopeful in that time rather than despairing.

âIt wonât happenâ
According to who? You guys keep saying that but in reality you guys have just as much of an idea as those of us that are optimistic.
hilarious how being pessimistic is forced as being ârealâ.
Either way, I donât believe I made any declarative statements, I try my best to show that itâs an opinion of mine.

Anyone who is pessimistic should be doing everything they can to publicize the surveys or to raise money for study of our syndrome. In a way, pessimism is good, because itâs indicative of absence of illusion that a cure might fall into our laps without anyone doing anything, as if there are fairies that just fly around curing diseases for no reason. A cure can only come after we get research funded. But just going around crying and not doing anything is stupid and counterproductive.
As far as Iâm concerned, pessimism is good if accompanied by work to advance the community (I.e., get science funded/started). Likewise optimism. But people sitting around talking instead of doing just ensure we are all screwed.
