The Pentagon Is Using a Fabricated Chinese Threat to Build Genetically Engineered Soldiers | Mint Press
On April 8, a bipartisan commission chartered by Congress warned that China is rapidly advancing a terrifying new military threat: genetically engineered “super soldiers.”
The report by the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (#NSCEB) urges the U.S. to respond with a sweeping effort to militarize #biotechnology. It offers little concrete evidence that such Chinese programs even exist.
In the name of national security, Washington is now pushing for deregulation, massive government investment, and human experimentation. Experts say this effort echoes Cold War-era paranoia and threatens to erode ethical boundaries in science and warfare
