“This breaks down the definition of model organism,” says Wang, a postdoctoral researcher in Jaenisch’s lab. “So now, even with limited resources, any animal with established embryo manipulation procedures could be the subject of genome engineering. With many of the animals’ genomes that have been sequenced, we could use this technology to establish efficient genetic manipulations in more species, to study the unique biology of each, and to learn more about evolution.”
Thus, Wang, Yang, and Shivalila have used CRISPR/Cas to create mouse models only, but the team is excited broaden its application to other animals.

In vitro eugenics
CONVERGENCE Website Note: The linked article is from the “Journal of Medical Ethics” – the following paragraph is the Abstract from the article. Note that “human enhancement” is mentioned, along with the term “in vitro eugenics.” This article… is written by Dr. Robert Sparrow, of Australia. He says much more in the article; check it out.
“A series of recent scientific results suggest that, in the not-too-distant future, it will be possible to create viable human gametes from human stem cells. This paper discusses the potential of this technology to make possible what I call ‘in vitro eugenics’: the deliberate breeding of human beings in vitro by fusing sperm and egg derived from different stem-cell lines to create an embryo and then deriving new gametes from stem cells derived from that embryo. Repeated iterations of this process would allow scientists to proceed through multiple human generations in the laboratory. In vitro eugenics might be used to study the heredity of genetic disorders and to produce cell lines of a desired character for medical applications. More controversially, it might also function as a powerful technology of ‘human enhancement’ by allowing researchers to use all the techniques of selective breeding to produce individuals with a desired genotype.”

Why this book? Why now?
The masses of the world are woefully ignorant of what they will soon confront, totally unprepared for what is soon coming.
Humans will either cease to exist, or be unrecognizable as a God-created species.
What on Earth is going on? That which heretofore existed only in the imaginations of science fiction writers is now scientific fact. Glow-in-the-dark pigs? Ordinary pigs’ DNA combined with glow-in-the-dark jelly fish DNA. A cow giving human milk? That cow is part human!
Every living thing has DNA: humans, animals, plants, reptiles, sea creatures, insects, bacteria, viruses. DNA: the mechanism which stores all of the genetic information that makes each living creature unique. Scientists are splicing genes of one living creature into embryos of a different living creature, creating new life forms.
Coming advancements in computer technology will soon allow computers to be interfaced with genetically-enhanced human bodies and brains, creating some kind of post-human species.
Considering all of the UFO movies, documentaries and propaganda available, are we being “desensitized” to the possibility there could be a “UFO connection” in our future, as well?
Uncontrolled use of various technologies will bring out the dark side of human nature. All living things can, and will, have their DNA exchanged to form some new, unheard-of creature or humanoid.
All these things (and many more) are converging toward the destruction of life as we know it on Earth … unless God intervenes.
What in the world is going on?
