The cyborg future is coming: Lab-grown humans are being made NOW – The Blaze

Excerpt:
Nicole (Shanahan) points to transhumanist companies that are currently manufacturing human eggs in a lab “without any input from a female ovary” and then fertilizing them with either “real sperm or synthetic sperm, which can also be grown.” In other words, pseudo-human beings are being created by machines in laboratories.
Trying to stop this, she says, is “impossible” — as is halting the development of organoids or the implantation of brain chips.
“That leaves us with the fact that the transhumanist cyborg machine human is going to exist,” she says frankly, calling it a new attempt at the age-old ploy to steal the human soul.
“Now is the time that we have this very narrow window to create a fork for the future of humanity,” she tells (Joe) Allen.
As terrifying as sharing the world with transhumanist creations is, Allen says there are two pieces of good news: One, the “god-like” AI we’ve been told is coming down the pike is likely a “sales pitch” that overexaggerates the actual product. Yes, humans will regard these technologies as “digital deities,” and yes, “they [will] have real power,” but they likely aren’t as superhuman as we’ve been told.
Secondly, “if we believe that we are intended to be more human than machine, and if we believe that there are realms far beyond this one to which we’re accountable, then we’re going to fight for it, and it’s going to be across the world,” says Allen.
