As we expected, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) issued its revised guidelines on stem cells and embryo experiments at the end of May 2021, and as expected, the ISSCR recommendations are rife with proposed experiments on young human beings.
The new guidelines discard the 14-day limit on human embryo experiments in favor of no limits, and they allow virtually unrestricted manufacture of human-animal chimeras of any type, as well as creation of genetically altered human embryos and lab constructed human embryo “models.” Very little is left in the category of “currently not permitted.”
The ISSCR overreach is telling when bioethicists with widely-divergent views on embryo research ethics label the new recommendation for no limits a “grave omission,” and when well-known supporters of human-embryo research say they are “troubled by the recommendations,” especially removal of the 14-day limit.
The ISSCR’s self-serving guidelines even reminded a senior scientist of a letter written long ago, with currently-applicable sage advice about experiments: “If it is dangerous, or wrong, or both, and if it doesn’t need to be done, we just ought not to do it.”
While ISSCR advocates for human embryo exploitation, we do need to remember that this is a self-appointed group of scientists, acting without public input, proposing self-regulation for other scientists. Of course, the real purpose of these guidelines is that they are trying to fend off any government regulations or public outcry that could hinder their research desires. But as the letter writer mentioned above notes: “the right experiment to do should not be determined by scientists alone.”
In the United States, a key federal law has provided a barrier against a great deal of human embryo exploitation: the Dickey-Wicker amendment. This annual prohibition passed by Congress prevents taxpayer funds from being used for life-destroying embryo research.

What could go wrong?
Yes, the creation of human/animal creatures was covered well by Erich Von Daniken in his book “The Return of The Gods, Evidence of Extraterrestrial Visitations.”
Is his book a work of science fiction or is it a recount of ancient history?
This earth has been here for millions of years and has been host to other civilizations before this one. Some, much more advanced than us, may be still here and responsible for the phenomenon that are seen, in the sky, and called UFO.
legends and other sources seem to point to ancient history.
Best to keep an open mind, just out of curiosity.

I agree. We can barely find the remains of anything that existed a couple thousand years ago. How are we going to find something from a civilization that flourished a million years ago.
Look at the southern half of Africa. The entire bottom half of the continent looks like it has a network of former canals.
Look at the eye of the Sahara. There is no way that’s a natural formation. The entire northern portion of Africa looks like it was swept over with a gigantic flood.

We should all weep in profound sorrow at the premature death of the late, great Doktor Jose Mengele who, after all, was no more than a pioneer before his time. Indeed, our own brilliant Doktor Rachel Levine would joyously welcome this great innovator into today’s medical profession, and, as a special honor, do it in his native German.
We live in sick times.
What for??? For what reason???
Wait, you don’t think they have been trying to do things like this for a long time in China already???

looks like the ISSCR has been bought by China

Isn’t experimenting on human beings a crime?

Sounds appropriate.
True.
