FDA now harvesting “fresh” aborted baby tissue to create “humanized mice”

Using plants like cannabis (marijuana) and mitragyna speciosa (kratom) to support your health is considered “evil” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But this same federal regulatory body sees absolutely no problem with extracting “fresh” body parts from aborted human babies and injecting their tissue into “humanized mice” in order to create artificial […]

The true investigation of how the U.S. military recruited Japanese germ warfare scientists and Nazi space weapons developers

The Japanese government recently released the names of more than 3,000 former members of the infamous germ warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA), which conducted heinous lethal experiments on innocent Chinese and Allied civilians during World War II.

Zoos for extinct animals could become a reality in the near future

Many animal species have already gone extinct, which means that there are none like them out in the world anymore. But traces of them could still exist, particularly in fossils and DNA remains, making it possible to bring them back to life, so to speak, and enable people to see them in the flesh at […]

Japan to legalize “organ transplant farms” of animals to be raised and slaughtered for human transplant organs

The world is changing so swiftly that things that might have seemed like science fiction just a decade or two ago are now becoming the norm. For some time now, scientists around the world have been working on developing animal-human hybrids – or chimeras – for the mass production of human organs to be used […]

New laws would allow children to be artificially created from the genes of dead humans… “posthumous conception” creates living from the dead

One of the hottest topics being debated in bioethics right now is the concept of conceiving a child using the sperm or egg of a dead person. For example, a man’s frozen sperm could be used after his death for in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination, or a woman’s frozen eggs could be used to […]

Frankenstein experiments combine human and animal DNA in the name of “science”

There are not too many subjects which remain controversial in modern society. It seems like everywhere you look there is a person or group pushing for the right to do pretty much what they want.

Animal organ HARVESTING farms coming soon? Researchers develop method to “refurbish” harvested animal organs for human transplant

There is an organ-transplant crisis going on. There are far too many people on various organ transplant waiting lists, and not enough organ donors. As such, scientists have thought of various solutions for the problem. One new example is organ refurbishing, which is as straightforward as it sounds – scientists take organs and refurbish them […]

CLAIM: Human-chimpanzee hybrid “humanzee” born in Florida, killed in panic by doctors

In the world of science things can get really, really crazy, and can sometimes strain ethical boundaries almost to breaking point. Scientists have been fascinated for centuries with the concept of a human-chimpanzee hybrid – known as a humanzee – and there have been reports dating as far back as the 11th century of such […]

Medical monstrosity: Doctors creating “three-parent” babies to be carried to term by female volunteers

With all the Frankenstein-like science that we’ve been seeing in recent years, it was only a matter of time before scientists found a way to create babies using three parents. Now, doctors in the UK have been given the green light to create three-parent babies. The country’s fertility regulator is allowing doctors at Newcastle Fertility […]

Japanese ban on creating human organs in animals to be lifted; “transplant farms” to mass produce organs for disease-ridden humans?

The process of donating human organs can be somewhat tricky, and you will often have to wait quite a while before getting approval that your organs can indeed be donated. Meanwhile, being on the receiving end of an organ transplant can be just as troublesome. The waiting list is even longer than the one for […]
