Building a Human - Comments by Princeton professor Lee Silve

[t1u9b8a8]

He speaks about being conscious as the perceptions we acquire from our five senses interpreted by our brain. I believe Consciousness is quite different, what some may call Spirit.

Who the f. do you think you are? nothing is 100% known. Everybody can change and heal without science has an answer to it. Before you say things as "humanity is mature enough to deal with the consequences of such science" FIND A CURE 4 CANCER, AIDS ect. We are already with to many people on earth, witch is polluted. Clone the earth for godsake. U wanna change? Begin with yourself. Find solution for the problems that are urgent to be solved NOW. pretension, prediction brings nothing.

All this technology is reserved for the "elite" after everyone else is eliminated. The fact is that this technology and ideas similar to this have existed and have been cultivated for decades. The reason we don't hear about it is because the legislation hasn't passed. J.D. Rockefeller is currently financing deep, deep research into life extension technology via the Rockefeller University. Look it up! Prove e wrong! Hitler conducted experiments to make super-chimpman/ soldiers.

Thank you very much Lee silve. We will live With Xmen around us thanks to you guys and no!!! society has no time to decide,doesnt matter anyway..there will be states where you can raise,or grow,or build ,or invent your product

. Damn it dude dont play like your god.

[germancavemonkey]

Exactly. I have a friend who is writing a film about this. In his film humans are all over 6 feet tall, beautfiul and smart and then a mad scientist creates these freak creatures based on fiction like werewolves and real vampires and then the human race has to create real "XMEN" to fight them...the crazy thing is that this is a possible future for humans

Could also be seen as information & warning.

I don't know about U but I love 2 build human the old fashioned way. Longing, lust, the heavy flush of passion, the sloppy exchange of Genetic material, the lottery of the exchange, the miracle of gestation in a famale body, the violent and significant pocess of birth, and the value of living. I could start this process tonight in the privacy of my home with the partner of my choosing, I don't need approval from the State, I don't need scientist or a pitri dish. I'm an old fashioned type. FREE

There's is something to be said for that view. Besides, I personally don't think humanity is mature enough to deal with the consequences of such science.

With all the competing, bickering political parties, religions, ideologies and philosophies out there we'd destroy ourself with stuff like this. Humankind may never grow up and be ready for such changes.

this is cool!

We should extend our lifetime.

This would make humanity a lot better.

Effects like global warming would be understood clearly and thus be solved because we would see it in our lifetime.

And surely no one is in favor of disease, so why not stop ageing?

See Aubrey de Grey on Ageing.

Wow so if they can put animal genes to a human clone than put genes from a fish to a human clone to have real mermaids.

People like Lee Silver don't think twice about what they are doing.

The future is upredictable. The choice is up to us.

omg this is so fascinating. ^_^ wow.. its like something out of a scifi film. but complications may occur. Hollywood hammers an image into your head saying that you have to look a certain way otherwise you wont fit in. you get judged by the color of your skin, imagine because you had yellow eyes or sharp fangs/octopus sunctions.. imagine that. Kids who felt rejected would use those fangs to attack those who hurt them... life... would be ruined as we know it

Holywood dosn't hammer that idea in. that Idea is in all facets of life. in the animeal kingdom to. if you don't look a certain way or act a certain way than you may be regected. It's sad but it's perfectly normal behavior thats been around for a long time.
