It's not about her safety, it's about you controlling her. At least be honest about it.

"The Perturb-seq method uses CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to introduce genetic changes into cells, and then uses single-cell RNA sequencing to capture information about the RNAs that are expressed resulting from a given genetic change."

The reason global leaders cannot relate to us peasants: • The richest 1% of the global population control 50% of all global assets. • The lowest 50% of the global population collectively own less than 1% of global wealth. Source: Credit Suisse’s Global Wealth Report, 2015. And that was 2015, before the Great Covid Wealth Transfer™ took place which saw a new billionaire created every 30hrs. "Billionaires in the food and energy sectors are increasing their fortunes by $1 billion every two days."

Photoshop stopped me trusting images, and CGI stopped me trusting video footage. Adobe VoCo almost stopped me trusting audio but it was shelved due to concerns over ethics. Now Amazon are pushing ahead with their version of VoCo, I will trust nothing.

"Fetal viability is possible after 20 weeks." - Source: WHO. Personally, I do not agree with abortions after 20 weeks unless there is a health risk to either the unborn child/pregnant mother. In the case of unplanned pregnancy/rape etc., < 20 weeks is plenty of time to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy before the fetus has developed into a viable baby which can survive outside the womb. [Roe vs. Wade]

Adlerian psychology proposes that many interpersonal relationship problems stem from a failure to separate tasks; this is the foundation for modern saying's such as "not my circus, not my monkeys" and "that's a you problem".

I know Tony's family. I remember when this first happened; his daughter shared a post on Facebook which was initially removed for breaching "Community Standards", then reinstated after an appeal with the: "Covid vaccines are safe and effective" message beneath it. Abhorrent. [@GBNEWS: "'So you had to go back to hospital three times to be taken seriously?' Mark Steyn speaks to Tony Shingler, who was diagnosed with vaccine related Guillain-Barré syndrome. 💻 GB News on YouTube"][http://bit.ly/3vAYaw0]

"People don't want apologies. They want confessions. They want you to stand there and list the shitty ways you've hurt them so they know you understand."  [watching The Umbrella Academy]

Misgendering is not a big deal. Gender™ has become an arbitrary label people associate with to define their fluctuating "identity". The impermanence and transience of preferred pronouns attest to their irrelevance. People need to stop conflating "gender" with "biological sex".

"What should one do to not be disliked by anyone? There is only one answer: it is to constantly gauge other peoples feelings, while swearing loyalty to all of them. If there are ten people, one must swear loyalty to all ten. When one does that, for the time being one will have succeeded in not being disliked by anyone. But at this point, there is a great contradiction looming. One swears loyalty to all ten people out of the single-minded desire to not be disliked. This is like a politician who has fallen into populism and begun to make impossible promises and accept responsibilities that are beyond him. Naturally, his lies will come to light before long. He will lose people's trust, and turn his own life into one of greater suffering. And, of course, the stress of continual lying has all kinds of consequences. Please grasp this point. If one is living in such a way as to satisfy other people's expectations, and one is entrusting one's own life to others, that is a way of living in which one is lying to oneself, and continuing that lying to include the people around one."
