The Transhumanist Agenda

A molecular biologist runs a company that ships out do-it-yourself Crispr-based genetic engineering kits. “In 2016, he sold $200,000 worth of products, including a kit for yeast that can be used to brew glowing bioluminescent beer, a kit to discover antibiotics at home, and a full home lab that’s roughly the cost of a MacBook Pro. In 2017, he expects to double sales.”[185] The push is for eventual DIY kits to apply to people. However, experts warn that for some conditions and some people, genetic engineering, even were it perfected, isn’t a solution and could cause serious problems. And that warning would apply to treatments done in and by major institutions. Thus, so-called biohacking has been banned in some countries. “In the U.S., however, biohacking isn’t yet regulated. Zayner doesn’t think that it should be, and compares concerns about people learning how to use synthetic biology to concerns about people learning how to use computers in the early 1980s.”[186] (Source: Fast Company)
