AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of a "cure" for multifactorial genetic diseases, emphasizing that no definitive cure currently exists. The complexity of these diseases makes it challenging to define what a cure would entail. While prenatal testing could inform decisions regarding abortions and early treatment options, the traditional notion of a cure remains elusive. The conversation highlights the need for further understanding and advancements in genetic research to address these conditions effectively.

Does such a cure exist?
 
Biology news on Phys.org

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine".
