The vid appears to be done by and for dumb kids. It tries to be educating and fun at the same time but fails lamentably. This is why causes like ours becomes ridiculous and gets mocked at. To tell the truth, this Hammer Anvil dude is a lousy amateurish slob. Ive seen the rest of his "work" and that was enuff.

www.theverge.com/2017/7/27/16049340/human-embryos-dna-crispr-gene-editing-us"For the first time, scientists in the US have successfully edited the DNA of viable human embryos using the powerful gene-editing tool CRISPR. Gaining the ability to edit human DNA is the first step toward one day allowing scientists to prevent babies from being born with incurable diseases or disabilities. But further success with this kind of research is likely to raise the heated discussion on the ethical implications of genetically altering human embryos. The story was first reported last week by by MIT Technology Review. The research — which was published today in the journal Nature — was led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov of Oregon Health and Science University. It involved editing dozens of viable embryos and effectively correcting a gene mutation that causes a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which can lead to sudden death. The embryos were developed for only a few days and were not implanted. Without implantation, embryos cannot develop into babies......"

Elites dont want better human beings, that would mean their demise. Where would they be without (their) slaves? So they need us. The worse, the more handicapped and diseased we are, the better. Healthy humans, good humans are a menace, so why take a useless risk? |

This is how we do it – Welcome to the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Technological Deceit The era of artificial intelligence and technological deceit is upon us. If you think “fake news” and propaganda is bad right now, just wait. And you won’t have to wait very long, at that. Pretty soon, computer wizardry and artificial intelligence will allow video footage to be created that is practically indiscernible from the real deal. Add to this holograph technology, and soon a person could appear to be speaking, live, in front of you, and you’d never even know it was all fake. The ethical ramifications of AI and technology are simply mind-boggling. In fact, some folks even believe it will signal the beginning of the end of humanity. But apocalyptic AI aside, let’s look at the manipulative potential of our current tech. We are very close to real life meeting science fiction; and if you think we are being deceived now, once these technologies are rolled out, you won’t be able to believe your eyes or your ears. There are several unsettling parts to this story. www.activistpost.com/2017/07/welcome-era-artificial-intelligence-technological-deceit.html |

David Rorvik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Michael Rorvik (born 1944) is an American journalist and novelist who was the author of the 1978 book In his Image: The Cloning of a Man[1] in which he claimed to have been part of a successful endeavor to create a clone of a human being.
Rorvik was born in Circle, Montana. He graduated with a B.A. from the University of Montana in 1966 and a M.S. summa cum laude from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1967.[citation needed] He worked as a science writer and a medical reporter for Time and contributed articles to numerous publications, including The New York Times, and wrote several books.
In a 1969 magazine article, Rorvik outlined the Shettles Method to influence the sex of a child.[2] Two years later, he and Landrum B. Shettles co-authored the bestselling book Your Baby's Sex: Now You Can Choose.[3] In 1976, Rorvik was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship for investigatory reporting on the politics of cancer research worldwide.[4] Some of his findings from this investigation were reported on in Harper's Magazine, the Washington Post and other publications.[citation needed] Earlier in his career, he was the recipient of a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship for investigation of the effects of apartheid politics in Africa on press freedoms.[citation needed]
In his Image
In In his Image, Rorvik claimed that in 1973 a wealthy businessman he dubbed "Max" had contacted him and recruited him to find scientists willing to create a clone of him. Rorvik claims to have formed a scientific team that was taken to a lab at a secret location. After a few years of experimentation they managed to implant a specially prepared body cell nucleus into the cytoplast of a human ovum (a technique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer) and, in turn, succeeded in implanting this egg into the uterus of a surrogate mother, a local resident called "Sparrow." A healthy child, it was claimed, was born nine months later. He stated in the book that he was able to tell the story only on the condition that he safeguard the identities of all involved and cautioned his readers that the book did not provide proof that the cloning had occurred, although he stated he was convinced that it had.
Before the book was published, the New York Post learned of the story and made it front-page news on March 3, 1978. Soon after, NBC's Tom Brokaw interviewed Rorvik on The Today Show. The book was very popular and caused much discussion about the ethics of cloning. However, scientists including Yale University professor Clement Markert generally disbelieved Rorvik's claims. Efforts to clone mammals had not been undertaken at that time and it was widely assumed that there would be enormous obstacles to achieving successful mammalian cloning.
British scientist Derek Bromhall filed a $7,000,000 defamation suit against Rorvik's publisher, J. B. Lippincott, alleging that the book was a hoax, that it incorporated parts of his doctoral thesis as the theoretical basis for the cloning process, and that it had used his name without permission. When Rorvik refused to reveal the identity of "Max" or provide proof of the existence of the clone, judge John Fullam found that the book was a "fraud and a hoax" in a pretrial ruling. The case went to trial in 1982, with the charges being reduced to invasion of privacy. The publisher soon entered into an out-of-court settlement that included a payment of $100,000 and a public representation that the book was a hoax. No evidence, however, was presented in pre-trial proceedings, during the trial, or thereafter that established either the truthfulness or the falsity of the book. Rorvik himself denied that there had been any hoax, and refused either to be party to the out-of-court settlement or to contribute to it financially.[5] He wrote an article defending In his Image for Omni in 1997.
Rorvik has since written, ghost-written, edited and agented several books on diet and nutrition, psychology and other topics, including the Physician Desk Reference for Nutritional Supplements (2001). In 2006, a sixth edition of Your Baby's Sex: Now You Can Choose was published, marking nearly 40 years of continuous print.
