Why all comments are being down-voted?

(Personally... I think this tech is amazing and I can't wait for it to be available worldwide!)

You mean the South Park references that add no contribution to this scientific article? Or people broadcasting their moral opinions into the void?

I don't see any good comments downvoted.

Yeah for example the super-profound and constructive top comment that just quotes the article and adds "WOW :O".

That's quality content, unlike a the South Park reference drawing a simile between serious research and the (humorously) exaggerated potential disasters of combining human DNA with other species.

Obviously the second was made by some common peasant lacking the intelligence to engage with the audience here. The first, clearly being the work of an intellectual powerhouse the likes of which we stand in awe of, has rightly collected the praise and votes they deserve.

I've noticed that too. It seems like it is happening quiet a bit lately. Comments getting voted down out of no where for seemingly no reason.

Mods need to look into this trend and give us a report.
