Genetically modified humans is the next venture for biotechnology companies working with the United States military, with the admitted goal of producing a 'super soldier' that does not require food or sleep to perform Olympic-style physical feats.
The genetically modified humans, or 'super soldiers', will even be able to regrow limbs that were destroyed by enemy fire and live off of their fat stores for extreme lengths of time.
Backed by $2 billion a year in funding, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently unleashed the news after years of secret experimentation and study.
The organization did not say whether or not genetically modified humans currently exist to such an extent, however it is known based on previous reports that human chimeras have already been created outside of the public spotlight.
In working with killer drones, DARPA earlier this year was developing research into contact lens-mounted displays that could transport information from drones into the eyeballs of soldiers.
Furthermore, the agency is also developing helmets in which the soldiers could communicate 'telepathically' with the kill drones.
The announcement ties in with the 2045 project, which I've covered in the past.
The project offers 'immortality' to the wealthy elite who financially back it, and touts artificial bodies and brains for humans to achieve 'immortality'.
This entire system, of course, ties into a larger 'singularity' project as outlined by the creator of the 2045 plan and others like Ray Kurzweil.
Kurzweil in 2017 - Raymond Kurzweil (/ˈkɜːrzwaɪl/, KURZ-wyle; born February 12, 1948) is an American computer scientist, author, inventor, and futurist. He is involved in fields such as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology and electronic keyboard instruments. He has written books on health technology, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism. Kurzweil is a public advocate for the futurist and transhumanist movements and gives public talks to share his optimistic outlook on life extension technologies and the future of nanotechnology, robotics, and biotechnology.
In a nutshell, 'consciousness singularity' can be defined by a merging of all 'transhuman' bodies into one 'hive mind' of sorts.
A number of issues arise from this singularity plan (not to even mention the fact that 'soldiers' are slowly becoming more of DARPA creations than human), such as the serious threat to humanity's very integrity.
