no not that far back. like it the last year or few years and it was definately a gene editing type thing. I should be clear the article was the last year or few but I think the action that lead to it was not much earlier than the article.

Apparently there are quite a lot of people doing gene editing on themselves and their pets in their own homes. It's apparently fairly accessible.

which is kinda funny because I cannot imagine doing it myself and I have done this type of work. Granted when I saw the lactose intolerance youtube guy do it he was able to get access to a lab so its not like he did it in his garage.
