Will make Jews and Muslims question their faith if this becomes a mainstream thing.
Personally I think this is a amazing scientific achievement and will be following the story closely.

This is a very very very dangerous subject for your career. I'll be honest I'm not sure any legitimate journal would publish anything further along in this line even if it was replicable, which scientist would risk peer reviewing something that could lose them their job.
A domestic dog, wolf and coyote can all breed together and all produce fertile offspring. Then you look at genetic variation between the three species.

Is the domestic dog the same species as the coyote or wolf?
All can interbreed all can have fertile offspring with each other. Then look at the genetic variation between all three species.
Yeah this type of science is the stuff which destroys careers...

Yes it would be the Quran, Plenty of Islamic terrorists have cited from it. But of course if you were to ban it then you get into a quagmire of religious freedoms.

Nope just speaking to farmers at shoots over the last month.
Not something you'd openly speak to journalists about, god forbid the RSPB gets involved which are at this point a countryside mafia.

I knew a lot of farmers who managed to get rid of problem hedges during the height of the pandemic because local planning didn't respond within 42days when we had the first major lockdown.

The British government has a vague law on books which incite terroism... Of course they couldn't actually write an actual list because the book at the top of the list would be problematic.

Oh boy well this is another nail in the coffin for free speech in the UK.
Back in my day it was just a given people said mean things on the internet.
