Scientists Hold Secret Meeting to Consider Creating a Synthetic Human Genome

Scientists are now contemplating the creation of a synthetic human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.

Well, at least it's not cloning.

They are going to kill us all eventually... Perhaps they already have...

Wow!?!?!? A human Xerox machine.

[Juvenal]

Wow!?!?!? A human Xerox machine.

Not just copies, improvements. We're talking about actual, synthetic humans, in our own lifetimes.

Where are the hand-wringers?

[Sparko]

ethical problems abound.

would they be able to patent the resultant human? scientific slavery? or even to manufacture workers with no free will?

sounds just like bladerunner



it is also ironic that they want to manufacture people while others want to abort them.

Ya think?

I think they'd be able to patent any new synthetic genes, but it's not a human if it's not using most of our current genome. The courts have already rejected patenting those genes. I suspect it would be possible to select for more pliable replicants, but the timeline on that project would be measured in generations, hence centuries.

The singularity is approaching.

Isn't there a population problem according to many on the political left? It's why I never understood the drive of science to solve mortality, now they want us to create synthetic humans?

Science is not on the political left.

I am not sure it is not pretty close.

Your view is understandable considered your paranoid negative view of science.

Your view is understandable considering your adoration of scientists as infallible, unbiased, apolitical purveyors of truth.

Nothing I have ever posted reflects this outrageous accusation.

What could ever be constructive of accusing science as being some sort of liberal leftest conspiracy? This can only come from looney bin conspiracy theories.

I have a generally positive view of science. I do not fail to recognize that scientists can err.

[Jedidiah]

Translate, please.

There is a tendency for scientists to prefer liberals since liberals give them more federal money.
