FDA Discusses Guidelines for Creating GMO Human Embryos

A meeting at the FDA on experiments to create GMO humans has brought disturbing information to light. Yesterday and today (Feb. 25-26) the US Food and Drug Administration held public meetings outlining the creation of genetically modified humans. These experiments won’t take place in the distant future. In fact, GMO embryos have already been created via in vitro experiments. While the FDA has stated that the agency “recognizes” that there are “ethical and social policy issues” to be considered—and despite the fact that forty-four countries have already banned this kind of genetic manipulation—the FDA won’t bother to discuss **if** human clinical trials should take place (that’s considered to be “outside the scope” of the meeting). Instead, they’ll outline **how** such trials should be conducted.
