IS IT EVIL OR EVOLUTION? Corporate Takeover of DNA & Life
We love the thought of curing diseases and editing out “bad genes” but is the underlying concept a throwback to eugenics and breeding for specific human traits?
While these technologies initially appear to be beneficial, who will pay the ultimate price for humanity’s inheritable genetic source code being manipulated?
If the corporations were able to patent, monetize and Own the Rights to other Biological Matter such as corn, wheat and soy – What is to prevent them from Owning the Human Being they Genetically Modify?
CHINA’S CRISPR TWINS BRAIN ENHANCEMENT
“New controversial gene-editing experiment to make children resistant to HIV may also have enhanced their ability to learn and form memories.
Deletion of a gene called CCR5, not only makes mice smarter but also improves human brain recovery after stroke, and could be linked to greater success in school.” READ MORE
DESIGNER BABIES?
We love the thought of curing diseases and editing out “bad genes” but is the underlying concept a throwback to eugenics and breeding for specific human traits?
One question I have to ask is if the corporations were able to patent, monetize and own the rights to other biological matter, such as corn, wheat and soy – what is to prevent them from owning the human being which they genetically modify?

SCIENTIST CREATE SYNTHETIC DNA – ALTER LIFE’S BLUEPRINT
The work has been able to ‘lay the foundation for achieving the central goal of synthetic biology: the creation of new life forms and functions’ Read More
ENTIRELY NEW LIFE FORMS FROM SYNTHETIC DNA?
Scientists have long been able to make specific changes in the DNA code. Now, they’re taking the more radical step of starting over, and building redesigned life forms from scratch.
Their work is part of a bold and controversial pursuit aimed at creating custom-made DNA codes to be inserted into living cells to change how they function, or even provide a treatment for diseases. It could also someday help give scientists the profound and unsettling ability to CREATE ENTIRELY NEW ORGANISMS.
THE CHIMERA QUANDARY: IS IT ETHICAL TO CREATE ANIMAL/HUMAN HYBRID EMBRYOS?
In Greek mythology, the Chimera is a monster that is part lion, part goat and part snake. Far from reality, sure, but the idea of mixing and matching creatures is real — and has ethicists concerned.

LIVE DNA EDITING ON HUMANS? Clinical Trials Begin
…this is the very beginning of the therapy in humans. And there’s no “cancel button”. Once the change occurs, we cannot turn the genetic code back to the original. Read More

COULD HUMANS REGROW BODY PARTS LIKE A LIZARD?
‘Revolution is just starting’
Scientific papers have been published this year on how a flatworm, a fish, a frog, and other organisms begin to make organs and appendages. International researchers are hard at work, looking for ways to Apply these Techniques to HUMAN CELLS – how they mature, REGENERATE, and what goes wrong when cancer, diabetes or even physical malformations occur.

NANO CHIP REGROWS ORGANS BY INJECTING DNA?
Groundbreaking skin patch the size of a penny can regrow organs, restore brain function, and heal wounds by injecting genetic code into the damaged areas
EDIT DNA IN THE BRAIN?
DNA Editing Breakthrough could fix ‘broken genes’ in the brain, delay ageing and cure incurable diseases
MANIPULATE GENES TO THWART AGEING?
As we age, our DNA breaks down and mutates. But unlike other parts of the body, the mitochondria are not very good at repairing DNA.
But now, in a groundbreaking procedure, the Caltech-UCLA team has found a way to manipulate genes so that they break down and remove mutated DNA, regenerating the cells. Read more
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH? YOUNG BLOOD NOW FOR SALE
You don’t have to drink the blood of children to reclaim the vigor of your lost youth. You can mainline it. For $8,000 a liter.
Ambrosia, a startup founded by a Stanford Medical School graduate, has begun pouring the blood of the young into the hardened arteries of their elders in five cities… The company calls its intravenous interventions “young plasma treatments.” Ambrosia says it sucks the blood (so to speak) of donors aged 16 to 25.
