Here is why a nodding awareness of what the scientists are up to is important, as they are working away to change the human essence. Take the recent announcement that the Dr Frankensteins are literally on the way to making man, to take a human stem cell, and transfer it into a human egg. That egg can then be fertilised with human sperm, although there are moves to artificially produce sperm as well. The technology is justified for its social utility, such as also being used to create sperm for lesbian couples, so that they can have babies with genes from both women, and transgender couples could also use the technology to have biologically related babies.
Beyond all that, there will no doubt be a military use made of this by communist China in its super soldier program. And, of course, no amount of protest and whinging by us is going to stop them on their quest for world domination. But at the very least, it would be good if people could begin to think critically about what the technocrats are doing to humanity, and that involves knowing a little bit of what they are up to rather than constantly being passive recipients. We do our best at the blog to give the ordinary person material for critical awareness.

“Conception, a Berkeley-based biotech startup, is trying to accelerate — and subsequently commercialize — a field of biomedical research known as "in vitro gametogenesis" (IVG).
Matt Krisiloff, one of the company's founders, recently stated: "Basically, we're trying to turn a type of stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem into a human egg."
One of Conception's goals is to utilize IVG to create eggs from the cell of a man. That egg could then be fertilized with sperm from his male partner, at which point a surrogate mother could then carry the resulting embryo through to birth. This would result in a baby genetically related to both men. IVG could also be used to create sperm for lesbian couples, allowing them to have babies with genes from both women. And, of course, transgender couples could also use IVG to have biologically related babies.
This would render heterosexual couplings utterly unnecessary, moot. Yay!
We don't know the health or other implications for the babies created this way, but who really cares about that anyway?
Let's go ahead and completely decouple male-female intercourse from anatomy, sex, and procreation! How freeing! Let's decouple all of this from coupling! Brilliant! What could go wrong? While we're at it, we should remove the archaic and arbitrary "moral" barriers that heretofore discouraged humans from having sex with dead humans — or attempting sex with animals, for that matter. How exclusionary! How regressive! How repressive! How 1950s Republican!
We already have lab-grown diamonds. Better than the real thing! Surely, we will also be better off with artificial intelligence, sex-bots, lab-grown meat...and lab-grown people.
Call it Genesis 2.0. Better than the original, no?
God help us.”
