Antinuclear activism was incredibly successful. We may get there soon with infectious disease research. Also, we have (mostly) successfully enforced a convention against using CRISPR to create transhuman monster embryos.

"Geneticists shouldn't make any superhuman embryos."

"Geneticists should get to create one CRISPR monster, as a treat."

Also the anti GMO movement is normalized, which is scary because we need gmos to feed our species among countless other important things, especially as we are changing the climate faster than many populations are able to respond. So many products proudly wear that gmo free project label.
I spend 10 months locked up, because of infectious disease research. Is someone going to pay me $300 000 in damages?

You do not need activists, just users!

What's the story with this?
