SCIENTISTS TO ADD SPIDER GENES TO HUMAN GENOME TO CREATE ‘BULLETPROOF SKIN’

 

Bullet proof spider skin?

The people behind this are evil and should be thrown in a dark room full of black widow spiders. Let the punishment for these mad people fit these crimes against nature. I present this with a little of my own brand of sick humour but this topic is an extremely serious one to consider. This is the ultimate hubris! Heaven only knows what the future of this sick experimentation could result in.

And of course, military applications seem to be the first to come to mind in today's fighting world.

According to Edgar Cayce, evil scientists messed with all kinds of technology and mutations and created monsters. At times I have wondered if the memories of some of these monsters were behind the animal-headed or tailed gods of the ancients. Those same Atlantean scientists were then destroyed by their own creations along with the continent of Atlantis! History repeats itself and the same fools have been reborn!

Egyptian animal headed gods, Anubis and Horus. Possibly based on memories which originated in ancient Atlantis, the result of experimentation?

These "good ideas" frequently wash ashore.

 

Scientists are now discussing the possibility of adding silk-producing spider genes into the human genome to produce ‘bulletproof’ skin.

The news comes after testing was done on bio-engineered human skin that was grown in a laboratory and mixed with ‘milk’ created from a genetically engineered ‘spider goat‘. This is a goat that has been genetically tweaked to produce the same protein found in spider silk.

Spider goats are transgenic creations that have two key spider genes embedded into their genetic code that enable them to weave extremely strong silk.

If 20th-century biology was about taking living things apart to find out how they work, the current era is defined by putting them back together, but not necessarily as evolution decreed, and certainly without the clumsy constraints of mating.

Spider silk is much stronger than Kevlar (the material used in traditional bulletproof vests), and scientists are now saying that it could actually be used to create an internal bulletproof skin vest.

The silk is actually 5 times stronger than steel, and is one of the strongest fibers known to man. While the fibers involved with the creation of the bulletproof skin are not as strong, they are still extremely powerful.

It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel, but Dutch scientist Jalila Essaidi says it will soon be a reality. While she performed tests involving the silk-embedded bulletproof skin vest created in the lab, she discussed the very real possibility of actually replacing human skin proteins with that of a spider. She said:

Why bother with a vest: imagine replacing keratin, the protein responsible for the toughness of the human skin, with this spidersilk protein. This is possible by adding the silk producing genes of a spider to the gnome of a human: creating a bulletproof human.

The lab-grown skin fused with the ‘silk’ is currently capable of withstanding a direct impact from a bullet fired below full speed. Researchers say that the ‘transhumanistic’ idea of the silk vest could make science fiction a reality.
