Could we, in theory, use something like CRISPR to give a new baby replacement super-kidneys (or whatever organ it is that makes drinking saltwater be a bad time)? It seems like if we cracked that, we’d be set as a species....
This is such a great question. I have almost zero knowledge of biology so I can’t offer a meaningful answer. I just want to say this really is a genius question.
Hypothetically speaking, what alterations to our biology/genome would need to occur in order for us to be able to safely drink saltwater?
