They talk about biological warfare. They talk about, uh, the collapse of the global economy. But then on page 35, things get a little bit interesting. Here’s what they say. No forum currently exists for dealing comprehensively across the scientific community, industry and government on measures needed to diminish the risks posed by the bio-technology revolution.

In addition, bio-technology can drive new forms of human behavior and association creating profound cross-cultural ethical questions that will be increasingly politically contentious. Few experts believe that current governance instruments are adequate for these challenges. For example, direct modification of DNA and fertilization is widely researched with the goal of removing of defective genes, however discussions of future capabilities open the possibility for designing humans with unique physical, emotional and cognitive abilities.

So in other words, ladies and gentlemen, when the top intelligence agencies of the U.S. got together with the top intelligence agencies of Europe and said what within the next 12 years could pose an existential threat to all life on earth among them they included the emergence of a new form of mankind. And not long ago in California a whole series of House Foreign Affair Committee hearings were held. California Democrat Brad Sherman. He was picked by the way to chair these HFA hearings because of his known expertise in the spread of weapons of mass destruction among terrorists. Uh, but what were these HFA hearing’s about?

A writer for Congressional Quarterly, a writer by the name of Mark Stenzel attended the HFA hearings, listened to íem and then went back and wrote a special report for CQ Magazine in which he described that listening to the HFA meetings is sounding more like a pitch for a Hollywood sci-fi movie than it did a sober discussion of scientific reality with all of its talk of super animals, super intelligence, and super humans on the near horizon against which mankind is not prepared.
