RE: Gene editing to protect US military: How the US could create a race of super soldiers (Op-Ed)
The most important technology advance in the world today is CRISPR, and like all technological advances today, it is advancing most at the bleeding edge of decentralization. Secret underground bases in extinct volcanoes all over the world are presently altering the DNA of organisms, including H. sapiens, in competition with DARPA funded organizations.
Also, ordinary folks are doing so on their kitchen tables. You can buy a CRISPR kit today that will teach you to create a bespoke glow in the dark yeast, or frog, with the supplied equipment. Don't delay. Get your future you today!
I find it interesting to note how Round Up ready GMOs, crops able to survive applications of the herbicide glyphosate, are the most prevalent of the products of genetic engineering. What does that say about producing super soldiers able to survive chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons?
Thanks!
