Comment Re: Mutation is not bad (Score 5, Interesting) 22

The mutations are random, and the ones that help them survive continue. As do others, though, that happened alongside.

There's no guarantee that the mutations are NOT harmful to humans.

Poisonous mushrooms didn't necessarily evolve to be harmful to us. There's no pressure on them to be harmful to us. It just sucks for us that whatever random mutations happened in their evolutionary history that helped them survive happens to kill us.

Whilst the likelihood is low that the mutations are harmful, you cannot assume that they are not.

I'm pretty sure they brought in some retired experts that were calling them out, brought them through the investigation, the findings, their analysis, and their thoughts for Artimis Ii, and they agreed that, yes, the decision made was sound.

Many others saying there's a problem haven't seen all the data, I wager.
