Genetically Modified Humans? New Gene-Altering Drug Paves Way For Mass Modification

(Before It's News)

 

We’ve seen genetically modified mosquitoes, genetically modified plants, and genetically modified cows, but could we soon be dealing with our own genetic alterations – genetically modified humans? As the months and years pass, scientists seem to be getting closer to ‘manufacturing’ humankind, with some of the most recent ‘advancements’ revolving around a new approved drug therapy that is designed to ‘correct genetic errors’.

Glybera, the drug which was approved in Europe on November 1, was created to combat against a rare disorder leading to disrupted fat production. Those suffering this rare disease possess what scientists describe as a damaged gene; the drug is meant to repair the damaged gene.

While the drug is only meant to be given to 1 or 2 out of every million people, it paves way for further experimentation into the field of biotechnology and human alteration. Soon, doctors may be giving out drugs to treat any ‘defects’ in genes, whether it be for the so-called ‘fat’ gene or another instance where a damaged gene is present. It could even apply to purported ‘criminal’ genes that are said to predict an individual’s future ‘life of crime’.  It may sound crazy, but scientists are already making even more serious moves that will alter or ‘create’ humankind.

  • As all human DNA was altered in our creation – we are feral hybrids – perhaps this science might “put us back together”. Knowing our “scientist”, the objective will be to make a “bad job” worse and for good reason. As we naturally (evolution) repair our genes over 100,000′s or millions of years, other world “stakeholders” have a vested interest in ensuring we remain void and incoherent.

  • agreed ozzie. Going to be used to keep us down, not raise us up. sadness…
