(Natural News) A team of scientists from London’s Francis Crick Institute attempted to genetically modify human embryos. They were deeply troubled by the results. Led by biologist Kathy Niakan, the team of researchers utilized a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. Wanting to understand the role of a particular gene in early stage human development, the researchers […]

(Natural News) A radical eco-terrorist group known as the Gaia Liberation Front (GLF) currently holds to a mission statement that includes “the total liberation of the Earth, which can be accomplished only through the extinction of the Humans as a species.” And GLF’s depopulation tool of choice is bioengineering, which the group says is “the […]

(Natural News) A Chinese scientist and a pair of researchers who claim to have created the first genetically edited babies were sentenced to prison for violating the country’s research standards and for practicing medicine without a license. The Epoch Times reported that He Jiankui was sentenced to three years in prison and fined the equivalent […]

(Natural News) Boosting food production for the human race is quite simple and has already been solved ten times over, but Big Food and Biotech want no part of it. Vertical indoor gardening solves food shortage problems without pesticides, leaving a much smaller carbon footprint, all while using much less acreage. We’re talking about high […]

(Natural News) Many scientific advancements make life a lot easier and more convenient, but not every new discovery is a good one. In fact, some of the most complex and intelligent scientific discoveries of modern times could actually prove to be our undoing. Take, for example, the recent experiments in which human brain genes were […]

(Natural News) The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s stated purpose is helping farmers and ensuring the safety of the U.S. public when it comes to food, but lately they seem a lot more interested in helping the GMO industry than protecting Americans’ health. To date, the government agency has given non-regulated status to at least […]

(Natural News) Plant geneticists are now saying they’ve uncovered the power of genome editing through a new application of CRISPR technology. The scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory say they have mobilized CRISPR-Cas9 tech to rapidly produce variants of the tomato plant engineered to display three key agricultural traits: fruit size, branching structure and plant […]

(Natural News) Red-eyed, mutant jewel wasps have emerged from a family of black-eyed wasps. Rather than a creation of nature, this new strain was conceived by a team of researchers at the University of California (UC) Riverside. Led by Professor Omar Akbari, the researchers from the Akbari Lab brought the bizarre creature into the world […]

(Natural News) Any time a new technology has an industry buzzing, there will always be skeptics. When it comes to scientific advancements like genetic engineering and gene editing, much of that concern relates to the long-term effects of these seemingly miraculous practices. Even if something appears to be safe right now, how can anyone be […]

(Natural News) A Chinese biophysics researcher who gene-edited babies is under armed guard and is now facing the death penalty, according to reports. In November, Dr. Jiankui He announced that he had used the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technique to alter embryonic genes in twin girls to protect them from being infected by HIV, a virus […]
