Hessel is such a great example of the type of Nazi era Dr. Mengale 2022 style. His protestations that genetic engineering is “spooky” due to unfamiliarity is silly. His entire talk is a talk down to we the people who might take offense at what he is selling. But Hessel as all over enthusiastic salesmen is the spooky element. Death of a Salesman was quite a drama for its time. Doubt if even Arthur Miller could have devised a creepier specimen than Hessel.

His presentation is well honed and is designed to have you embrace his views! How do we stop this? Where do we draw the line. Tomatoes that ship well? Bacteria that produces Insulin?

Japanes company cornered the market on the production of L-tryptophane and created a deadly varient. That was 30 years ago. Now we just print the new life form?

Your questions are my questions. Decisions about these things are dependent on deeply personal ethics we’ve either developed and fine tuned or not. There are apparently many out there who have no balanced, mentally healthy, fine tuned ethics at all. Believe it reverts back to social & spiritual concerns, Even if we manage to squelch these mistaken and anti-evolutionary processes this civilization is tanking. Those of us who survive will need to reinvent just about everything to survive and not repeat all the errors.

Agree. He is gleeful when he says "Humans can be Hacked"! Humanity is becoming a global race of lab rats!

We have definitely been feeding all the wrong wolves during our lifetimes. Time to feed the right ones. We're not the lab rats - our oppressors are. They will live on in infamy throughout our future history as supreme examples of what happens when we (as the entire planet) get so sidetracked we descend steeply straight into becoming a psychopathic culture of death. Choose life!
