After millions of years of natural evolution, some humans decided to try
out biotechnology and then try it out on the rest of us.
There
are 37 trillion cells that make up the human body. Each of these cells
contains the original genetic information from the very first cell. Our
DNA is a thousand times smaller than the cell, but it orchestrates our
life.
In 1953 the double helix molecular structure of DNA was
discovered. As a result, many mysteries of evolution were understood. In
1972 the first giant mistake of biotechnology was completed. After a
few years of trial and error, Dr. Herbert Boyer, who would go on to
co-found the biotechnology giant Genentech, and his team eventually
landed on a recipe for cutting and pasting DNA. For the first time, it
was possible to mix and match genes to create hybrid sequences – called
recombinant DNA. These had never existed before and no one knew what
they might do.
DNA transcribes its sequences into mRNA which in
turn creates working proteins. In 1990, biotechnologists at the cutting
edge of gene research, injected mRNA into mice and detected its paired
proteins.
In 2019, a deadly recombinant virus escaped from a lab
in a remote Chinese city. Millions of people died worldwide. If anyone
ever doubted it before, it should now be crystal clear that recombinant
DNA can spread without limit creating unanticipated effects that can
never be recalled.
In 2020, scientists created mRNA sequences
which, with the help of lipid nanotechnology, were able to penetrate
cell walls and take over the functioning of the cell in order to produce
novel proteins identical to those on the surface of the deadly escaped
virus. They called this a “vaccine” and told everyone in the world they
must have it. Just as was the case in 1972, no one knew the full extent
of what it might do.
No one knows how DNA, which is distributed
in trillions of cells, is paired with and supports a single human
identity, although we do know that transplant recipients can experience
psychological transformations.
No one knows how much the
integrity of DNA and its expressions are involved in creating and
maintaining the connection between mind and body....<<<Read More>>>....
