UPDATE Nov 2016: CRISPR technology is used for the first time (officially) on a human person. CRISPR enables the scientist to create new life out of ANY type of cell, and not only from stem cells as earlier.
This opens Panduras Box, and arises a lot of ethical and dangerous questions.
This article gives you an insight.
BE AWARE OF THE DARK SIDE OF THIS "PROGRESS"
We have an awesome God who uses everything to His benefit, but I believe He wants us to be aware of what is going on.
We must in a larger scale than today, confront the presentation of human enhancement (enhancement.. really.?) as only a blessing to humankind, to end diseases and erase bad memories.
And I believe God wants us to present the science of today in a Biblical connection. This is my small contribution in doing so.
We have an obligation to present- both to believers or unbelievers- the rather clear picture of the end times that the Bible presents to us. People need that, in order to see even clearer that the “progress” of society is not only “progress”.
Our world has come far in preparing for a cashless society, for a replacement of all our cards with some kind of microchip (RFID), for tampering with our DNA to alter our consciousness, add genes from animals, like super sight, muscle endurance or echo sonar.
This may be presented as a giant glorious step for mankind, so we need to bring this up in the media and among our friends and our circles, so that people have the information to make the right decisions.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE LABS AROUND THE WORLD; WHAT
ARE THE POLITICIANS USING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO DEVELOP?
GRIN: Genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. Human engineering I recommend to look it up. Ask yourself why schools don't teach about "progress" in every field of science, since it will change future of mankind as we know it.
Even the scientists wake up from nightmares, thinking: “what are we doing..?” No one is able to predict the consequences – it’s like Pandora's Box..
No one is against being able to cure diseases, but this is not the primary drive of this research. Like much other science research, the military use is important. So also here, the military use is a main drive. Sweden, US, England, Russia, China and many other nations are working on this – who will have the first “enhancements” on the soldiers, and make the first super soldier? Then there is the old longing of taking the place of the Creator..
TOM HORN CLAIM IN HIS BOOK “FORBIDDEN GATE” THAT THE WORLD WILL SPLIT IN TWO GROUPS:
For and against transhumanism:
“A bio-engineered construct that fuses man’s original genome with animal and/or synthetic DNA.”
Prof Hugo de Garis, China, characterizes it as Cosmists vs Terrans.
It’s the old goal from Hitler and way back..
Not only create an improved human, homo sapiens 2.0, but a new superior race – to get the power of God.
Transhumanism is a rising religion, a continium of "evolution”.
Dr. Gregory Stock: If we can make better humans by adding new genes to their DNA, why shouldn’t we?
In this 12 min video from 2012 Tom Horn give a good survey about what is going on in labs today. A mix of human and animal DNA, called ”Chimeras”:
Transplanting sections from brain from embryonic quails into brains of chickens, resulted in chickens exhibited head bobs and vocal trills unique to quail.
Shown by Evan
Balaban, McGill University, Montreal
(“Forbidden gates”, p 142)This means human behavior and thoughts can be transferred to animals, and animal behavior and thoughts can be transferred to humans, by mixing human and animal DNA.
We do not know what we are tampering with. If you add DNA from an animal who have the instinct to kill, to a human, what kind of creature/chimera do you get.?
Could
chimeras mate and produce human offspring?
How will
human-primate chimeras be treated?
Could
chimeras have human brains?
These
are questions that are seriously discussed among scientists.
WHAT ARE CHIMERAS? HOW AND WHY ARE THEY PRODUCED?
Center for Bioetichs, University of Minnesota:
“Definition:
What are Chimeras? How and why are they produced?”
This paper describes lab studies like:
- Sheep with 80% human liver, University of Nevada
- Line of pigs with pigs/human blood cells, Mayo clinic, Minnesota
- Mice with 1% human brains, want to extend to 100%, Irving Weissman, Standford University
- Transplant of immature human brain cells into brains of monkeys, St. Kitts Biomedical Foundation in the Caribbean
Since chimpanzees has 98% brain like humans, it quickly rises the question: What exactly is the definition of a human being?
And by an animal offering – if the animal have been genetically tampered with, when is it a human and when is it not.?

ONE QUOTE FROM THE CENTER FOR BIOETICHS DOCUMENT:
“Projects such as the following, give rise to questions regarding chimeras with human brains:
Researchers at Stanford University are injecting human neural stem cells into mouse fetuses to study development of neurological diseases (see project description in Definition section, above).
Initial results were mice with brains that were about 1% human, but researchers could increase that percentage to 100% human brains in the laboratory mice.
They anticipate that the structures of the brain, and certainly the size, would still be mouse-like even though the neurons of the brain would be 100% human.
Responding to concerns that the experiment could result in brains that were more human than mouse, Stanford University's ethics committee has approved the research on the condition that if the mice developed indicators of human intelligence, such as improved memory or problem-solving, it would be time to stop the project.”

Update2016: The research has been moving forward at high speed.
Just like IT-security, we can't control it, but if we don't continue, our enemies may get a head of us. The elite embraces it. This needs to be an ongoing public discussion.
SCIENCE WILL ALTER WHAT IS MEANS TO BE HUMAN
VIDEO: Ray Kurzweil explains: After the Singularity, We'll All Be Robots (1:12min):
Scientists of today also talk about “Technological Singularity”: The moment when the created beings get more intelligent than us. Where everything stop make sense to many.
One often quoted professor, Maxwell Mehlman, give lectures as: “Directed Evolution: Public Policy and Human Enhancement” and “Transhumanism and the Future of Democracy”.
Here he talks about how science WILL alter what is means to be human. His lectures (and others) can be found under podcasts at the Arizona University (ASU) web site. (http://transhumanism.asu.edu/index.php)
THE BIBLE HAS OTHER NAMES FOR THESE CREATURES, LIKE
NEPHILIM
The
Bible also talks about satyrs and other mixes of animals and humans.
Some from God, some from the fallen angles.Most people might have considered this as symbolic or fiction, but this is where we actually are heading today.
This is just short glimpse, I recommend everyone to do their own studies.
SERIOUS TREAT TO MANKIND, LINING UP WITH END TIME PROPHECIES
I hope I have managed to present an understanding that this is a serious treat to mankind, and given you a curiosity to explore more about how it line up with the prophecies in the Bible about the last days.
From the very first book in the Bible and throughout the Scripture, we hear about the spiritual battle between good (God) and evil (satan).
See ex: Genesis 3:1-15+ Isaiah 14:12-17 >> Article in Swedish.
This is how trans-humanists present the “enhancement”, and we must not be deceived:
“In the next fifty years, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and cognitive science will allow human beings to transcend the limitations of the human body. Healthy lifespans will extend well beyond a century. Our senses and cognition will be enhanced. We will have greater control over our emotions and memory. Our bodies and brains will be surrounded by and merged with computer power. We will use these technologies to redesign ourselves and our children in ways that push the boundaries of "humanness."

The truth is, we are already surrounded by this technology. The sports are a good example on this. We have past the limit of human achievement a long, long time ago..
But we close our eyes, and hope for new records to be broken. We take our Prozac, Viagra or Ritalin medication. And we cannot think of anymore, that we are able to turn off the computers and manage on our own.
Somewhere there’s a line between blessing and curse..
DECADES AGO, THE GROUND WAS LAID FOR THIS BY TERRIBLE
ANIMAL AND HUMAN “RESEARCH”
- Like taking out animal brains and makes them survive outside their bodies.
- Like put in brain implants that make a bull stop dead before the red cloth instead of attaching, by remote control.
Why don’t people know about it, why don’t we care?
That is worth some thinking..
We need to wake up, and to present what is going on in this field and many others,
and start care about each other and about our planet that God has
given us. It’s important that believers becomes informed and involved in
public dialogue over benefits and treats. Somehow we must present this to people with emphasis on the love and power of God, and His great plan for us, so we can give people strength and peace after the first fear has calmed down. Because this is frightening.
The important is that we give people information so that none of us are deceived. So we know where to say no and where to say yes.
Yeshua (Jesus) says: “Don’t be afraid.. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches To him who overcomes I will give..”
Rev. 1:17, 2:7.
This is a good time to reread His words to us in the 7 letters in The Book of Revelation. Thank You Lord, for having it all prepared, and that we can trust in You.
“For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
Psalm 91:11-12
