The next frontier of genetic modification is not centered around a certain fruit or vegetable, but humans. More specifically, military personnel.
Genetically modified humans is the next venture for biotechnology companies working with the United States military, with the admitted goal of producing a 'super soldier' that does not require food or sleep to perform Olympic-style physical feats.
The genetically modified humans, or 'super soldiers', will even
be able to regrow limbsthat were destroyed by enemy fire and live off of their fat stores for extreme lengths of time.
Backed by $2 billion a year in funding, the Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently unleashed the news after years of secret experimentation and study.
The organization did not say whether or not genetically modified humans currently exist to such an extent, however it is known based on previous reports that human chimeras have
already been created outside of the public spotlight. Such scientific experiments have drawn fire from scientists and activists alike, who are demanding for laws to forbid the creation of 'monsters'.
As of right now, DARPA has a functioning exoskeleton that enables soldiers to run far faster and handle heavy weights. This is but a step in the direct of full modification of the genetic coding of soldiers.
DARPA, of course, has earned the nickname of the 'mad scientist' wing for its rampant experiments in modifying life and fusing biology and technology. In working with killer drones, DARPA earlier this year was developing research into contact lens-mounted displays that could
transport information from drones into the eyeballs of soldiers. Furthermore, the agency is also developing helmets in
which the soldiers could communicate 'telepathically' with the kill drones.
The announcement ties in with the
2045 project, which I've covered in the past. The project offers 'immortality' to the wealthy elite who financially back it, and touts artificial bodies and brains for humans to achieve 'immortality'. This entire system, of course, ties into a larger 'singularity' project as outlined by the creator of the 2045 plan and others like Ray Kurzweil. In a nut shell, 'consciousness singularity' can be defined by a merging of all 'transhuman' bodies into one 'hive mind' of sorts. Likely a massive super computer of some sorts that has full control over the minds of those 'hooked in'.
It truly sounds insane, yet it is plainly stated out in the open. A number of issues arise from this singularity plan (not to even mention the fact that 'soldiers' are slowly becoming more of DARPA creations than human), such as the serious
threat to humanity's very integrity. We've seen the many issues regarding traditional GMOs on public health and the environment, now what about human modification?
The 2045 project is very real. And its website conveys a sense that it is very well-funded. It is promoted as a Russian project.
What this article doesn't say is that a novelist named Simon Conway was given a briefing by DARPA and then allowed to go out and give interviews about what he was told. This "novelist" is ex-military, British, and extremely media-connected (wife is a TV personality).
Simon is painted to be a bit of a humanitarian. Well, that's OK.
But I would guess that the message he was given is being disseminated mainly for its shock value.
This is, for all intents and purposes, the ideal future in the eyes of the criminal elites. I wonder if they know that it is based on a theory of life that isn't even true. If allowed to have their way, though, I am sure a lot of people will die at the hands of killer robots (as if that is new news on the whole track) before someone realizes that you can't get to immortality through a machine. The joke is: The spirit already is immortal.
I wouldn't mind such stories being discussed if it weren't for the total intellectual and moral vacuum that these discussions occur in. To reach a higher, better truth, we need to know the truth as things stand today. And that is not part of their plan.
