Forscher sind kurz davor, „umgekehrte“ Zellen herzustellen, die uns möglicherweise vom Planeten vernichten könnten

Sweet, sweet oblivion.

Most of the biological chain is homochiral in one direction, I don’t really see how introducing a left-handed organism into a system that is dominated by right-handed chirality would even matter…. It feels like if you found out about reverse thread screws and then started saying it was going to bring us back to the dark ages.

Reverse threads screws are a thing, for specific applications like acetylene and bike pedals, but since 99.999% of our hardware and processes both above and below the level of bolt relies on one way of doing things, the clockwise bolt market is never going to be taken over by the lefties.

Without a system where they can be at home, reverse cells will just die, right?
