Revelation 13:15
“[T]he church as an institution has failed
at any concerted effort to focus on the genetics revolution,
the government’s interest in human enhancement,
the viral transhumanist philosophy
capturing the mind of a generation at colleges and universities
(not to mention via popular media),
and the significant moral and ethical issues raised by these trends.”

Russia has funded the “accelerated development of genetic technologies” that will “design new lines of plants and animals.” Let that sink in. The implications are dreadful. The Russian government’s official website said this:
“The Program’s key objectives are to implement a comprehensive solution to the task of the accelerated development of genetic technologies, including genetic editing; to establish scientific and technological groundwork for medicine, agriculture and industry; to improve the system of preventing biological emergencies and monitoring in this area.”

“… Genetic editing technologies will be used to design new lines of plants and animals, including aquaculture, which are needed by the real economy.”
“…The creation of biological substances,… will be ensured.”

Revelation 13:15
“An international, intellectual, and fast-growing cultural movement known as transhumanism, whose vision is supported by a growing list of U.S. military advisors, bioethicists, law professors, and academics, intends the use of biotechnology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence as tools that will radically redesign our minds, our memories, our physiology, our offspring, and even perhaps— as Joel Garreau, in his bestselling book Radical Evolution, claims—our very souls. The technological, cultural, and metaphysical shift now underway unapologetically forecasts a future dominated by this new species of unrecognizably superior humans, and applications under study now to make this dream a reality are being funded by thousands of government and private research facilities around the world. The issues raised by human-transforming science must be addressed by Christian leaders in a serious national conversation. To fail in this responsibility may lead to the question “what does it mean to be human” being abdicated to a frightening transhuman vision.”

“HUMAN-ROBOT OFFSPRING VIA TNT (tissue nanotransfection):
“With new parthenogenotes technology human eggs can be ‘tricked’ into developing into an embryo without fertilization allowing two females, for example, to offer skin samples from which a child could be born entirely from a laboratory, producing a literal and biological offspring of two female parents. Ethical and religious questions regarding the artificial embryo have kept this technology from becoming available to same-sex partners for now, but it’s only a matter of time and red tape—all that is needed to make human babies today is DNA. And all that will be required to make human/robot babies in the very near future is the integration of human DNA and robot ‘DNA.’ These robot chromosomes will be ‘a set of computerized DNA codes for creating artificial creatures that can have their own personality… based on established biological inheritance laws,’ Dr. David Levy observes. The genetic codes are broken into two categories: ‘personality’ and ‘outward.’ As the titles suggest, the ‘personality’ or genotype coding will provide genetic information to guide specific internal makeup, while the ‘outward’ or phenotype coding will determine the way the robot looks and acts, including hair color, eye color, personality and so on.’
“A first major milestone allowing robots and/or ‘computer’ minds to write hitherto unknown genetic coding and to give birth to first-ever synthetic life forms was achieved in the landmark experiments of Craig Venter, ‘the pioneering US geneticist behind… the dawn of a new era in which new life is made’ in 2016.
“At the time, Julian Savulescu, professor of practical ethics at Oxford University, observed: ‘Venter is creaking open the most profound door in humanity’s history, potentially peeking into its destiny. He is not merely copying life artificially… or modifying it radically by genetic engineering. He is going towards the role of a god: creating artificial life that could never have existed naturally.’
“A lot has developed since Venter’s breakthrough mentioned above. Science has marched relentlessly forward from novel organisms to science that may now allow a human/robot couple to produce human/robot offspring using robot-generated DNA sequencing implanted into a human mother or other human biological matter (such as sperm-and-eggs-from-skin-cells). This possibility has arrived thanks to “tissue nanotransfection” (TNT for short).
“The initial motive for perfecting TNT technology was never related to creating human/robot offspring. One helpful article explains:
“”Researchers at Ohio State’s College of Engineering and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have developed a new technology, Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), that may be used to repair or restore injured or aging tissue, including blood vessels, nerve cells, and entire organs.
“‘In a fraction of a second, the device injects genetic code into the skin, turning those cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions, generating any cell type of interest for treatment within the patient’s own body. The device could save the lives of car crash victims or injured soldiers, and restore brain function after strokes.’ [i]
“What started as a ‘one-touch healing’ nanochip technology for repairing injured or aged body tissues has now become the primary vehicle that makes the transference of robotic DNA information into human tissue a possibility. If the injection delivered by TNT were to hold both human and robotic genetically designed codes, the offspring resulting from a successful, full gestational term would be—quite literally—half human, and half robot DNA.“
