in the meantime scientists on other parts of the world are creating CRISPR babies or implementing algorithms for facial recognition to track and monitor its 1.4 billion citizens, or who knows what they are doing while i am typing these words in my keyboard

Is this a “but mom, all my friends are doing it!” comment or an observation that some of your friends are jumping off a cliff but you think rappelling might be a bit safer if slower and less cool?

I'm confused. What does "this" refer to?

Interesting. I interpreted Miguel to be implying that progress will be made in this technology regardless, and that *it* will determine real outcomes. e.g. Slowing the Manhattan project because of ethical concerns doesn’t result in 0 nukes; it results in a Third Reich victory.

i wonder how much of that sentiment comes from Americans vs UK scientists - my impression is broadly that both UCL and Imperial ethics boards are extremely good (i even saw a scientist praising the speed of the UCL board recently!). the US IRB process on the other hand...

They are a more litigious country.

Also I would not know from any first-hand experience. My research does not require ethical approval explicitly via the committee as I use other people's data always.

Make of that what you will!
