The "Really" File - (Genetically GREENING Humans)

They traded the truth about God for a lie.
So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself,
Romans 1:25 NLT
These people are serious about GREENING humans via bio-genetics!!! How Hitleresque... Think about this....there are people being taken serious by media outlets who want to bio-engineer humans to be aligned with their political worldview (in this case fitting the worldview of the GREEN Religion). This is unbelievable...IF someone proposed this on just about any other political topic they would NEVER be given any respect by the media. DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO TINKER WITH THE GENTICS OF THE DNA OF YOUR POTENTIAL OFFPRING SO AS TO BE ALIGNED WITH SOMEONE ELESE'S WORLDVIEW? DO YOU? The very fact this is even being discussed in academia echoes what went on in the halls & walls of academia in pre-WW2 Germany--as Atheistic Nietzsche's philosophy & Darwinism brewed a toxic mix..... a "perfect race".
GREEN NAZIS-Literally, & they don't even realize who & what they are because they believe their cause for "mother earth" trumps everything........

Climate change:
Could we engineer greener humans?


"Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing humankind, and as the stakes are raised, many are proposing ambitious solutions – from pumping dust into the atmosphere to escaping to space.
But what if instead of trying to fix the world, we fixed ourselves? That’s the question posed by Matthew Liao, director of the Bioethics Programme at New York University, and his colleagues. “We tried to think outside the box,” says Liao. “What hasn’t been suggested with respect to addressing climate change?”


The answer they landed on is human engineering: the biomedical modification of human beings to reduce their impact on the environment. The associate professor suggests that by changing our underlying biology – altering our size or diet, for instance – we could create greener humans.

It wouldn’t be the first time that biological control has been used to limit the ecological impact of a society. China’s controversial ‘one-child’ policy was implemented in 1979 to alleviate pressures on the environment, among other reasons. And the tiny Pacific island of Tikopia was made famous by anthropologist Raymond Firth in 1936 when he reported that its inhabitants followed a strict code of birth control to prevent the population straining the island’s limited resources. Undesirable as these efforts may sound to some ears today, Liao suggests that we could go further in the quest to be more environmentally-friendly humans.

common bovine proteins,” he says. Liao envisions a medical aid like a nicotine patch that makes you sick if you try to eat red meat. Such a patch might sound like science fiction – and for now it is – but evidence has recently surfaced that people bitten by the lone star tick, native to the southern US, subsequently developed allergies to red meat, forcibly pushing them toward a vegetarian lifestyle.

Liao also argues that we can reduce the size of our environmental footprint by reducing the size of our physical footprint. “Reducing height by 15cm would mean a reduction in mass of around 25%,” says Liao. That’s a quarter less of you that has to be transported, fed, and watered. Although there’s a social stigma against being short, Liao counters that there are benefits too. Smaller people tend to live longer he says, “and you can fit in airplanes better!”

Once you start down this path, it can take you as far as your imagination will go. What if human eyes could be modified to see better in dim light, reducing lighting bills? Could we cover our skin in chlorophyll for an energetic boost from the sun? Enter hibernation in the winter instead of burning coal to heat our homes?

A lot of the things we’re talking about are already being done in society, it’s not as extreme as we think. Though these things aren’t being done in the context of climate change. I think if you gave people that option, some will be willing to take it.”
Perhaps our descendants who are living with the worst effects of climate change might be more willing to embrace the idea of modifying our biology. It might prove easier than trying to modify the climate." BBC
