  5. Re:There must be a major downside... on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 1

    yes, evolution is a process where the results are neither good or bad, but rather a step forward. DNA replication produces innacurate copies of itself, being this only one part of the whole concept of evolution...

    One of the reasons is stated in the article, where it may be possible that the child's cells will be too tired to properly sustain his muscles when he reaches 30. Moreover, i read once about this issue envolving the 'garbage' inside the DNA, called introns. They accumulate on the chormosomes arms and are spliced each time it duplicates. Up to here there is no real problem, but think about the times this kid's cells will multiplicate by the time he reaches 10. When the telomerase starts fading away, the part of the chromosome that is chopped are introns, and that can be a real issue if you start thinking about cancer being 12. In the other hand, IMO evolution doesn't make mistakes, so this might just be one of it's first experiments to improve one of it's youngest species, and most (that is genetically) underdeveloped.
