Sadly, humans don't have chloroplasts.

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?

Funding is probably the issue.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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.

It takes so much time out of the day. It's boring.

Eh, it can work with artificial light. I'll just convert my gaming room to a grow house.
