I can't read the original journal article (boo hoo poor student speaking here) but I'm assuming you're telling us what the original article said - so thank you very very much for that.
I'm a bit confused by the conflation of "organelles" and "vesicles" in the original article though, I assume they're only producing artificial polymer vesicles and not making entire Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum or something like that.
I have two questions:
Would it be correct to assume that this sort of treatment (inserting enzymes) is more likely to have tangible, significant effects on the body when performed on babies/young children? I imagine you have to treat a lot of cells in adults (and hope they replicate?) in order for your enzymes to have an effect on a tissue...
Also what are some specific benefits of using vesicles that require cell components to *enter* (rather than digest the membrane) instead of releasing them normally? I'm a bit curious.
I'm surprised you singled out people in the western world; as an Asian living in Asia I got the impression that it was more common around here - that there's a greater tendency towards "peace for the majority" and the idea that if it saves them and their family since they loyally followed the law, the outspoken law-breakers had it coming and should be killed if it ensures people will continue to live well. Especially in communities where speaking out is likely to come with some stigma.
Or perhaps it's just more likely that that's the case everywhere in the world; I'm just wondering why you mentioned the West. I'd imagine that most people would rather be restricted yet fed rather than free but hungry.

Don't blaim me! I thought she was on the pill!
Yeah, here I was reading the title and anticipating a flood of "HOW LABBY IS FORMED" comments.
