    unironically it’s pretty strange that i’ve never even heard of people trying to rectify this, surely someone has tried plonking some choloplasts in a skin cell culture and seeing how it goes?

        you don’t need any funding beyond standard lab equipment to do this, from what i know it’d be a pretty standard setup

        it’s just strange i’ve not heard about it, like someone must have done it and i should have learnt about it via cultural osmosis

          Gene editing is kinda controversial in the US though. Lots of regulatory hoops you would have to jump through to avoid becoming a criminal.

          Edit: unless you grease the right palms.
