Könnten zukünftige technische/medizinische Fortschritte den Menschen ermöglichen, diese Mutation in andere Menschen zu übertragen? Im Wesentlichen chronische Schmerzen für Millionen von Menschen beenden?
TIL there are people with Gene mutations that prevent them from feeling physical pain.

Feeling pain is a good thing, no? I woke up with back pain one day, turns out I had stage 3 cancer. Had that back pain not triggered and I not gone to the ER, I’d be dead.
Pain exists for a reason, without that you end up hurting yourself.
Like if you twist your ankle, you’ll keep walking on it ..
i knew someone who had this, he had to be very careful and check himself constantly because he could do things like break his toe on a rock or pick up a fishing hook the wrong way and stab it through his hand and not even realize anything happened til he saw the blood
Hi, person with a high pain tolerance gene here, amid a bunch of other mutations (of which have value but also cons).
It’s not as good as you think. Yeah it means if they under did my anesthesia im not losing it, but it also means I cut myself and bruise myself and get ear infections and other shit without noticing until its already bad or someone points it out.
My pediatrician would tell my mother, “if she can feel it [ear infection], it’s bad!”
