Gummy bears is people!! Soylent Green is here!
scared

That is a really crazy headline, right? Unfortunately, it is not a joke. Right now, gelatin made with human DNA fragments is already being used in pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, and scientists believe that recent breakthroughs will soon make it economically feasible to use such gelatin in consumer products such as gummy bears and marshmallows on a massive scale. So are you ready for gummy bears made out of people? They are coming. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. As you will read about below, scientists have also combined human DNA with mice, rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep and cows. We have arrived at a time in human history when advances in technology have opened the door to a lot of things that were once considered to be impossible, and scientists are having a field day. But in the end, where will all of this technology end up taking us?

We are at a point in history where discovery is outpacing understanding.

Sure we can crash protons moving at each other at the speed of light, create power from radioactive material, and splice genes from disparate organisms. In the end, they have no idea the outcome of any of it. It's guesswork for the betterment of humanity.

This is what happens when scientists want to play God with complete disregard to morals.

The end is nigh.
1 John 1–3._ 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.

What will this do to our evolution, since we are clearly now in charge of "natural" selection? Is our selective pressure now artificial? Think about it - we breed dogs and cats to have the traits we find desirable and we are now close to doing the same to ourselves. So what happens now?

Quoting from article:

"Because gelatin is derived from animal by-products, it can cause allergic reactions or be off limits to people with ethical or religious reasons for avoiding animal products."


Ummmmm........so it's more ethical to eat a human than an animal?


norespect



This is just SICK.
