Ultimately maybe do partnerships with overseas clinics and get commissions on referring the customers. We can just sell the additive DNA to those overseas clinics. Many ways to structure. In the US, self-experimentation is not explicitly banned. US animal testing is open. During my Tokyo trip the investor that made me an offer is part of a financial services company. They operate various exchanges in Tokyo, and acquired a bitcoin exchange. So I have to really decide are they the right partners and/or maybe I shouldn't care. Concerned about future of Allen Brain Institute and others.

By tremendous fortune, I happened to be in Tokyo last week speaking with a handful of investors. I got a bite (and now the question is, do I want to take /their/ money....). Attached is an updated diligence doc of technical references. Did you want a second set of eyes to look at this? One of the new references in the attachment ("Generation of human oogonia...") is a recent development regarding in vitro gametogenesis, i.e. producing sperm/egg cells from other tissues. Eventually this will mean we can make practically unlimited modifications to the cells before
