    Is nobody concerned that illegal experiments on babies only gets you 3 years?

    Maybe they were Uyghurs so it was classified as “property damage” in Chinese law.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiankui_affair

      Laws were changed after this incident:

      In 2020, the National People’s Congress of China passed Civil Code and an amendment to Criminal Law that prohibit human gene editing and cloning with no exceptions

      So, in case you actually meant that weird ignorant remark you made about Uyghurs, the answer is no and no.

        Thanks for the information – good to know. I assume that like American law, he couldn’t be punished for something that wasn’t illegal when he did it?

        Regarding the Uyghur comment the other guy made, definitely a bit tasteless but I don’t think it’s that ignorant given the genocide China perpetrated against them.

          What he did was illegal. Even without specific laws about genetic modification or cloning, he did perform experiments with babies without the necessity approvals from ethics and safety, without informed consent from the parents and likely misusing funds allocated to other research.

          3 years is still to short.

                Yeah I do assume racists are racist when they pull random claims that non-white countries are ontologicaly evil with no proof, it shows the racists bias.

                  Or Russia! Remember that saying anything bad about Russia is also racist.

                  Or maybe it’s not the color of the skin what the issue… But that would mean independent thinking, which is frowned upon by tankies. I’m assuming you’re a tankie because you say things a tankie would say. It’s generally a very weak way to make assumptions, but given it’s exactly what you’re doing, seems only fair.

                    Not like you my independent, free thinker who regurgitates all narratives slurped out of the arsehole of the upper classes media conglomerates, your thoughts and race realism theories on the inherent evilness of countries that your free thinking mind has decided to dehumanize and other despite not actually knowing the reality of it outside of what you read; you are the true thinker!

                    Tell me more about how you’ve come to the conclusion that the CPC doesnt care about its own internal rule of law or defacto punishments after the fact despite the article suggesting nothing of the sort; im sure it will enlighten me in a way me or my tankie comrades havent considered. (Lets ignore the fact the CPC imprisoned the person who did this and banned his colleagues from ever practicing medicine, as the facts of this dont matter to you, only the headline that you can infer to confirm your advanced kkklan race realism theory)

          Nazis, by definition, do not oppose dictatorships. Not sure where you got that idea, but it certainly wasn’t a level-headed assessment of history.

            The guy you’re responding to is a liberal doing a piss poor parody of a ML.

            You can’t do a good parody if you get angry before the punchline, or don’t understand the thing you’re parodying in the first place.

      Depends how successful the experiment is (and probably on what the goal is as well).

      If he’d been testing the effects of grass vs grain feed on human fat marbling, I’d imagine the sentence would have been a little more severe

        A lot of contexts? Like the development depending on formula vs mother’s milk? Experimenting doesn’t need to mean vivisection or injecting unregulated drugs, but if you need to do the experiments illegally, I’m not sure it was something “safe”

            Supposed to mean “machine-learning” Mali, but the developers of Lemmy (whose instance it is) are using it to mean “Marxism-Leninism”, which is a misnomer invented by Stalin. While ml has some non-tankie leftists, that instance is infamous because of them.

              It’s actually the TLD for Mali, not explicitly related to machine learning, or leftism. That’s mainly what it’s used for though, outside of Mali.

            Marxism leninism, it’s a political ideology, subset of communism. Basically the communists that love USSR, China, Cuba, etc. They love running propaganda about how these authoritarian governments did nothing wrong and how all criticism of them is just negative propaganda by the West.
