Chimeras


The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for almost 50 years has been in the process of research and development of cybernetic replacements for human warriors. Now, after untold billions, it is apparent that they were barking up the wrong tree.

CRISPR, which was developed by researchers at Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, and elsewhere, has transforming genetic engineering. The CRISPR/Cas9 system is so simple that even a high school student in his parent's basement has the capability to alter the human genome. This moment, human-animal variants (chimeras) are being created around the world by injecting human stem cells into animal embryos, allegedly for the purpose of organ replacement. The world is in denial, that there is a race to developed the first variant with a "human brain."
NIH ethicist David Resnik commented in November. “The specter of an intelligent mouse stuck in a laboratory somewhere screaming ‘I want to get out’ would be very troubling to people.”

However, as always the case with science, if it can be done it will be done!

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God [fallen angels] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children [chimeras] to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually " (Genesis 6:1-5).

"But as the days of Noah, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark" (Mathew 24:37).
