ITS HAPPENING!

"Over a Hundred Scientists, Lawyers, and Entrepreneurs Hold Secret Meeting to Consider Creating a Synthetic Human Genome"
>Scientists are now contemplating the fabrication of a human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes


"While the project is still in the idea phase, and also involves efforts to improve DNA synthesis in general, it was discussed at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday at Harvard Medical School in Boston".

"The nearly 150 attendees were Told not to contact the news media or to post on Twitter during the meeting.
Organizers said the project could have a big scientific payoff and would be a follow-up to the original Human Genome Project, which was aimed at reading the sequence of the three billion chemical letters in the DNA blueprint
of human life. The new project, by contrast, would involve not reading, but rather writing the human genome — synthesizing all three billion units from chemicals.
But such an attempt would raise numerous ethical issues. Could scientists create humans with certain kinds of traits, perhaps people born and bred to be soldiers? Or might it be possible to make copies of specific people?

Sexbots and artificial wombs here we go

>While the project is still in the idea phase

It was bound to happen, bigger issue is how and what for will it be used.

>Could scientists create humans with certain kinds of traits, perhaps people born and bred to be soldiers?
yes, but why would you do that if you have drones ?
>Or might it be possible to make copies of specific people?
people aren't formed 100% by their genetics but atleast 50% comes from their experiences

Doing this would be good for future space travel

She won't live but then again, who does...

I bet there wasn't a single Chinese national there. This is just mental masturbation, and socializing. The Chinese going to be engineering themselves 160 IQs, and double lifespans while the west is debating whether transexual siblings can get married, and asking how we make it illegal to be unequal.

This. We Transhuman now.

We wait until they make super soldiers. America will annex Canada which will cause China to invade the US in the year 2077 the bombs will drop and everyone will live in vaults provided for by the Jew. A hero will emerge and have to fight the mutated super soldiers ahhhh you know the rest......

The abundant use of "chemicals" makes it obvious that this was written by a scientifically illiterate person.

>tfw Im not a perfected human being made in a lab

>You will never protect cute girl clones with repressed emotions from evil scientists and their cruel experiments

Such misfortune

and this, Marco, is what makes you human after all

>TFW you might be able to hunt replicants soon

and this, Aart, is why my life is suffering.

>TFW you might be able to fuck replicants soon

WE /BRAVE NEW WORLD/ NOW

>synthesizing a sequence over 3 gigabase long
>not just making a recombinant genome from like 1000 human samples

That is the most retarded thing I could ever imagine, the cost of commercial gene synthesis is still way too high. As an example I'll do some shitty math assuming the whole sequence is just made in one go (which is wrong, they'll still end up having to ligate different fragments together because it's a giant fucking genome).

We use genscript for making genes, and though our stuff we get from them is smaller they can make sequences up to 15 kilobase at a low, low cost of $0.45/base pair. Divide a little over 3 billion in half. 1.5 billion USD is fucking retarded and they would be better off pulling genes and fragments from pre-existing samples than to try and synthesize a new one.

Never understood the Appeal of this movie. I always thought it was Nothing more than dry, self-felating, psuedo-intellectual garbage for neckbeards

"Ideas phase". Kek, its widely known that theres already gene projects in China and probably America in the works in one of em black projects. This is more for setting up the legal framework for genetic engineering of humans so then when the inevitable does happen and we start having private companies experiment on human genomes, there wont be a clusterfuck of lawsuits. Youre naive if you think governments and big corps arent tempering with the human genome or investing in gene editing for humans.Everyone knows that this is the future, and multibillion dollar bioengineering corporations and governments like be prepared for whatever the future might bring.

GATTACA HERE WE COME!!!

It's like a pretty woman decked out in expensive clothing and jewelry. It's nice to look at, and just enough to tolerate any banality that might come along with it.

Can planned parenthood replace all the senpais babbys with this when they go in for their free screenings? Senpais having 150iq babbys yes pls.

>Aart
wat?
Its pretty well made for its time

and in case you don't know : This dystopian future is being propagated by our leaders as the "ideal" society, where one perversion is better than the other, people without real home or ancestry are growing up besides each other
etc.

>its widely known that theres already gene projects in China and probably America in the works in one of em black projects
This, I laugh whenever I read one of those government waste stories detailing how $900 got spent on a toilet seat or how a $20,000 budget for screws got exhausted in a month. We're good at pretending to be inefficient and then funneling the 'lost' money to off-the-books shit.

I guess in a few decades we will have to replace the concept of race by the concept of brand.

>Those fucking monsanto niggers are ruining the country. Their average IQ is less than 150, they are literally retarded!

>all new children born are genetically engineered superhumans with impeccable good looks, massive muscles and height, and genius level intelligence
This is only going to work if we can change our genes too

>people aren't formed 100% by their genetics but atleast 50% comes from their experiences
And, of course, you have no source for this. Most studies on the subject show that personality (especially intelligence) is far more than 50% genetic.

Sounds like the premise of a MUCH better story I once read

Because you're a tasteless faggot.

It's the greatest sci-fi movie of its time.

>It's the greatest sci-fi movie of its time.

Fuck off, pedro

We should not play with it.

>muh human the ruler of the universe
>can't even find a gf

Hope they create someone smart enough to get this human plague off the planet and into an industrial space revolution

you didn't understand what I meant

The reason for people getting forward in the scientific area isn't 100% you genetics (intelligence, personality) but its also part of the struggle, the intersexual countership

There are good books about evolution-psychology

Kubrick is a hack. Critics just like circle jerking over 2001 because of le pretty colors.

They are twenty years apart, guys.

It truly is the greatest science fiction motion picture, isn't it?

We already have that and his only obstacle is a mental illness where he thinks he has to let terrorists into his country and not overthrow his traitor government.

Exactly, most governments know that this is the new arms race. You think governments dont know about the Jewish problem? They are very aware. They know so much but they choose to keep a secret because they know this society isnt ready. Or perhaps they would like to keep the population semi retarded so then it wojld be easier to exploit the sheeple. Now they know that China is trying to engineer their population to be 140 IQ 6 foot 2 enhanced humans and they know their prosperity and position in the world is in jeopardy if China reaches their goal first. They might even export gene technology to their allies. We see how much the Jews are prospering as a result of their enhanced IQs, ans their IQs are only 15 point above average, just imagine if China manages to,create millions of perfect or near perfect 130+ IQ emhanced humans? They would control the world for a thousand years.

>Kubrick is a hack
You went full retard

Choke on a crack pipe Tyrone

The movies are two decades apart.

>secret meeting

clickbait headline, don't fall for stupid shit

>not being a brain in a jar and crushing mutant skulls with your robo arms

pleb

Clone Wars incoming?

Well when theymsay secret meeting, they usually mean joirnalists arent allowed to attend, amd those who attend like scientists or lawyers or entrepreneurs would have a gag order and they could face prosecution or face a fine if they divulged anything to the public.

Looks like white ppl are saved.

Synthetic human == human?

>Of it's time
Nope, That title is already taken by a wide margin

btw have you guys seen this movie?
youtube.com/watch?v=vKW-Gd_S_xc
Its fucking awesome (even though it has this typicall 21th century feelsy bullshit (eww my daughter died when she was only 2 years old blabla) things in it)
Its much better than this new "interstellar" movie, where every 2 seconds theres stupid drama about characters you don't care about

>Everyone worried about BNW, 1984, or some sort of super oligarchy forming
>No one realizing that we catgirl now
>Literally if that one russian surgeon manages to succeed in that brain transplant

Lets call them !Humans

>Or might it be possible to make copies of specific people?
Gives a whole new dimension to the phrase "The Eternal Jew", doesn't?

Too bad it'll be expensive for all but the most select of goyim.

true?

FUCK YES

Godspeed, you beautiful niggers. Don't let the chinks beat us at this.

Gravity was alright, even if it got pretty stupid with her hopping from one orbit to another so easily. Interstellar just stopped being a movie near the end and became a bad student film.

>placing some stupid statue in front of you bookshelf, proving that you don't read the books

Wew lad, if you wouldn't know better you'd think this guy is a 20 year old art student

>muh ethics blahblahblah, can't let you do that, evil scientist

Fuck off, we're literally THIS close to finally being able to get rid of all the traditional women. I for one am waiting for the great celebration where we line up all the traditional women and shoot them to welcome our new artificial wombs and bioengineered sex slaves

It will be glorious

...

So traps will be able to make babies for the Fourth Reich? OMFG, Yes!

Oh shit is Luxemburg.
kek

My grandfather has a parlor like that in his house. He's read every one a few times. Eventually you get to the point where they are decoration and put statues in front of them, but you generally already know what's in them.

No, artifical human isn't humanely.

Nice trips

Checked

>ur still a faggot

I dont get why Hitler fought for a master race so hard when shit like this would just come along

Transhumanism can maybe save us, but theres a good chance that we will be collateral,damage in this new paradigm shift in Human evolution. I wouldnt mind seeing my grandson genetically engineered.

I'm not giving nytimes more views. They're shit.
Can someone sum it up for me?

If OP got it right, that's fantastic news. The west is basically saved if this comes to pass.

Pretty much. It is very unlikely that we will benefit from any of these researches. It might even end up badly for us. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. Some sacrifices must be made if we want to ensure the long term survival of our species.

thinking of what happened to Atlantis.our technology will eventually kills us.

>lets create GE baby
>human genome is being messed with
>whatcouldgowrong.jpg
>5 generations down the line everyone of them is born autistic and sterile
>thanks science!

I just wonder what will come first, AI or Synthetic humans. Either way, we will have a major paradigm shift in human society and even human evolution later this century.

Well by then we will probably have superintelligent AIs that will probably solve the problems cause by human engineering

It would be a logical step. In time technology will allow us to created genetically modified offspring. High IQ, high Health/long lifespan, high social skills. The superhuman is just a few down the road. Fucking scary, but exciting at the same time.

Because it's an old movie and you have already experienced most of it through all the shitty knockoffs.

GOD BLESS FINALLY

You don't understand the real problem. If human will create something similar to human what is the uniqueness of humanity? It will be giant crisis of mankind.

>believing the the startrek meme that all of our failings can be fixed by more tech

maybe the better half of society would just go back to its agricultural roots

I don't understand what the difference is between synthetic and normal genomes but look at this, cost of sequencing is tanking so much that it'll cost a penny in 5 years.

We've been striving to find another kind of smart being to talk to ever since we could conceive that there could be any, that's why we keep looking for alien life and trying to advance AI.
We're lonely.

>If human will create something similar to human what is the uniqueness of humanity?
.
If life is indeed divine then it will be demonic spirits that will inhabit those things.

Meh, worse has happened. Who care about "muh feels" when it comes progress. This might actually save us. Human evolution is too slow and unless we do the jewish thing and start selective interbreeding programs to increase our average IQs, we wont ever tramscend our feeble minds. Ge etic engineering is the cleaner way to improve the human race. Its better than eugenics.

>If human will create something similar to human what is the uniqueness of humanity?
The fact that we can create such a thing!

But user they have so far.

okay so what now i have to deal with some cyber new types?

We aren't lonely. Even imageboard users have someone to talk.

Maybe it will be just bio computer? What is humanely in human? Will?

It captures the concept of AI very well.

>We aren't lonely
We're the only example of intelligent life we know of, of course we are lonely as a species. We can talk to one another sure, but you and I will probably never talk to anything smart that isn't a human, unless AI truly takes off in our lifetime. I think even finding indirect evidence of civilization elsewhere among the stars, even having no way to contact, would put the 'are we all there is?' existentialism to bed, in a good way.

If nothing special in humanity, in human life, what is the purpose of existence? Existence of the universe, of humanity? Why just don't take a gun in hands and go outside?

Daily reminder that scientists have already stitched together a bacterial genome from scratch using a computer, and then transplanted the DNA into a DNA-lacking bacterial cell which then proceeded to grow & divide like normal.

>FROM SCRATCH
>USING A COMPUTER

I think Pratchet puts a pretty firm grasp on the idea of just what a human is.

All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

>REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

>YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

>YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

>YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

>MY POINT EXACTLY.

Genetic profiling
lmfao
Niggers, arabs and abos BTFO permanently
They're not going to be blabber themselves out from this one

Metal Gear Solid when?

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_laboratorium

>took them 10 years to synthesise a single strand of a piece of bacterial genome

great fucking work.

Got to start somewhere

Are we brave new world now?

Yup. Also, there's no bullshit about "muh sacred cells," because it's all synthetic and from scratch.

>Be spic getting a meme stem degree

>so your argument is that you don't want white people to be even better?
>no but we don't need more white people!
>shut up and just listen to the rest of the lecture
This is extremely condensed and their emotionally driven arguments were basically, "muh white people will be better humans and I don't want that!"
This was also an entire lecture hall shrieking this shit at me, not one person sided with me. Niggers, spics, whites and sand people all stroking each other's dick about the evil white race against a Mexican. I give this country 20 years before we go full Germanistan if we don't unfuck ourselves.
