Genetically engineered humans have already been born.



It’s hard to believe but genetic engineering on humans has already begun. In March 2001, a New Jersey reproductive facility announced that they had created genetically altered children.

    This is interesting; but it would be better if the clip had cited its sources. As it is, this sounds like an urban legend.

    Actually, that is a technique that is already taught to exist and be used in classes talking about invitro fertilization…it is almost the same way they made dolly, by removing the nucleus already in the egg and replacing it with another.

    ANd besides, they have been putting other women’s eggs into infertile women for a long time, and that is just as weird, personally. At least now they are admitting that they are at least using the mother’s cytoplasm.

    Man that music was irratating!

    Oh and as for the claim, I don’t understand why “they” wouldn’t want us to know. They are making healthier babies!!!! OH NO!
