US Scientists Have Created An Entirely New Lifeform With Artificial DNA
This was on the side bar. As far as I can tell there isn't any thread.

Splicing up shit with a bacteria common to the human gut is just ONE OF MANY issues raised in this article.


"Romesberg started out with E coli, a bug normally found in soil and carried by people. Into this he inserted a loop of genetic material that carried normal DNA and two synthetic DNA bases.

Romesberg found that when the modified bacteria divided they passed on the natural DNA as expected. But they also replicated the synthetic code and passed that on to the next generation. That generation of bugs did the same.

"What we have now, for the first time, is an organism that stably harbours a third base pair, and it is utterly different to the natural ones," Romesberg said.

The field of synthetic biology has been controversial in the past. Some observers have raised concerns that scientists could create artificial organisms which could then escape from laboratories and spark an environmental or health disaster.

More than 10 years ago, the scientsist Eckard Wimmer, at Stony Brook University, in New York, recreated the polio virus from scratch to highlight the dangers."

its not just about artificial creatures escaping the problem... it's about replacing God create nature to Cybernetic controled nature... You would not see a difference but your body would be totaly enslaving your soul forever... so why don't you pray and ask god to protect you from those dirty parasites!

you don't have to beleive to ask! Just imagine god listening to you and he will receive your request!
To live is to believe in the power of dreams! To dream is to believe in the power of love! To love is to Know the truth!
The Desire to Be fuel the belief that you Are which ignite the Will to Become which bring back forth the desire to be...
Let it be-come you! It means Stop seeking your higher self! It is seeking you! Stand still in your mind to calm the waters of your mind and then it shall find you, so you can ride those waves together!
your true self lies somewhere between your heart and your consciousness. It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you!
The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love!

The highest Purpose of our mind is the ability to Forget! Go on and Forgive yourself!
There is no love in truth but there is truth in love!

How can the body enslave the soul in more than a temporary way?

How does praying to god prevent bodily entrapment?
 Quoting: American Zombie


Dna enslave light from the soul it's frequency, its vibration..

dna is like a chain holding your soul captive of this body.

dna could be used as a network architecture, but as of now it's meerly used as a chain of slavery.

God can have an effect on your soul at any moment thru the spirit of oness.. but since we are held captive on our own free will, like in a sort of evil contract, we must demand and allow god to help us.

the spirit of oness is the only way to break the chains.
submiting to god as in letting him inside you and free you of this.. Your Ego will fight God spirit, because your ego is your enemy pretending to be the real you with all your earthly dreams and desires.. none of those are you..

The less you are emotionly attach and physicaly attach to thoughts that are grounded on this reality, the easier it will be.

Wanting to save humanity is a thoughts that work against us!
Support god and allow him to help you out of the matrix, so you can help your brothers and sisters in spirit!

A prayer doesn't have to be scripted. just have faith and it will get thru! much love to you!

This is what happens when you post a science thread in a conspiracy forum. No one will read it, and all their comments will consist of thoughts about the title.

To those that understand, it is not a new life form. Adding two synthetic "letters" is completely useless, and they can only replicate by eating synthetic material. If released into the wild, it would die. It's like trying to create a smaller earth from all the material we have on our earth. It's so useless, time consuming, and a huge waste of energy/resources, for nothing; for something we don't know what to do with, made from resources that could have been used for pretty much anything else.

Hey, it's not without risk, that's for sure. I guess that's why technology is the ultimate test - either we learn or we fuck it up and kill ourselves off. I'd rather see us learn and not kill ourselves off, but without science and knowledge we're doomed by our nature. We have much to learn...

Yes, all of that. Just one small step.

How long before someone figures out a way to make this tech 'useful'?

Since this is the mainstream version I can only guess what lengths
have been reached trying to find a use.

Personally, I would feel better about this sort of research

This was on the side bar. As far as I can tell there isn't any thread.

Splicing up shit with a bacteria common to the human gut is just ONE OF MANY issues raised in this article.


"Romesberg started out with E coli, a bug normally found in soil and carried by people. Into this he inserted a loop of genetic material that carried normal DNA and two synthetic DNA bases.

Romesberg found that when the modified bacteria divided they passed on the natural DNA as expected. But they also replicated the synthetic code and passed that on to the next generation. That generation of bugs did the same.

"What we have now, for the first time, is an organism that stably harbours a third base pair, and it is utterly different to the natural ones," Romesberg said.

The field of synthetic biology has been controversial in the past. Some observers have raised concerns that scientists could create artificial organisms which could then escape from laboratories and spark an environmental or health disaster.

More than 10 years ago, the scientsist Eckard Wimmer, at Stony Brook University, in New York, recreated the polio virus from scratch to highlight the dangers."
