➡ MIT has proposed the idea of growing human bodies from stem cells in artificial wombs, which could be used for organ transplants, drug testing, and potentially as a source of meat. This concept, while controversial and ethically questionable, is seen as a potential solution to the shortage of organ donors and the long waiting lists for transplants. However, critics argue that this approach commodifies human life and raises serious ethical questions about the nature of life and consciousness. The proposal is seen as a test of public opinion on such ethical issues.
➡ The article discusses the ethical and scientific implications of creating ‘bodyoids’, human bodies grown outside of a human body using stem cells. These bodyoids could potentially be used for drug testing, organ transplants, and other medical purposes. However, the author raises concerns about the dehumanization and commodification of life, the destruction of traditional family structures, and the potential misuse of this technology. The author argues that while this technology may be scientifically possible, it raises significant ethical questions that need to be addressed.
➡ Volodymyr Zelensky, tired of his usual attire, jokingly asks for clothing from David Knight’s merchandise, specifically a gray MacGuffin hoodie or a black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo. Despite Knight’s refusal, Zelensky humorously suggests that Americans could buy him some, taking advantage of a 10% discount available until 2025. He even proposes to save on shipping by including the clothes in the next shipment of military supplies from the USA.

I want to talk about this trial balloon of ethics that has been thrown out by MIT. It was at the top of Drudge. I had a lot of people forward the articles to me. What Drudge focused on was an article from The Sun, which sensationalized some of this stuff, saying, well, we’ve got this idea that we could have body oids, is what they call it. That we’re going to grow human beings in artificial wombs and grow them from stem cells and so forth and so on. And we’ll use them for spare parts. We’ll use them for organ transfers.

We might use them to test drugs and things like that. And we might use them for meat, is what The Sun says. Well, I’m not quite so sure that that’s what they were saying when I looked at the study. But nevertheless, it was off the charts in terms of ethics, in terms of lack of ethics, I should say, whether they want to use these body wades for meat or not. And of course, we are living in a time when we’ve grown up watching entertainment, dystopian science fiction novels, and these people are doing their best to make every single one of these things come to reality.

Soylent Green, of course, is why we’re talking about this. I was curious, I thought, why are they coming up with this term, Soylent? What does that even mean? And so supposedly, it was a combination of soy and lentils. And that’s what they were telling people it was. When in reality, it was actually cannibalism, recycled people. And in the movie, the movie is based on a book, a 1966 novel, Make Room, Make Room. And I get overpopulation. So we’ve got to have make room for people, got to kill off people. Soylent was less sinister right then.

It was just soy and lentil. They kept the Soylent. And then when they put it in the movie, they made it a lot more sinister, the movie that was done in 73, the adaptation of the book that was done seven years earlier. But what is it that MIT Technology Review is proposing? And I think that this really is just a probe of public opinion and of the state of public opinion on ethics. This is the title of their report, Ethically sourced, and they don’t put ethics or ethically source. They don’t put that in quotes. So I say, ethically sourced spare human bodies could revolutionize medicine.

The spare is in quotes, but the ethics is not in quotes. And they should put it in quotes because the ethics are quite questionable. It would maybe be a spare human body, but the ethics are really questionable. And made me think of Prince Andrew, or at least the guy who’s formerly known as Prince, who wrote his own book called Spare. That’s what he referred to himself as. In case the older brother died, I’m the spare that they have here to take the crown. But the report says, so why do so few drugs at inner clinical trials receive regulatory approval? Why is the waiting list for organ transplants so long? These challenges stem in large part from a common root cause, a severe shortage of ethically sourced human bodies.

And so they think that creating stem cells, creating bodies from stem cells, growing in from stem cells, they think that that would be ethical. And this gets to the whole issue of what are we? And I’ve had this discussion before with people who are selling transhumanism. These are people who look at us as some kind of an accident of nature, as complicated and as complex and as complementary as all of the different things in our existence are. I mean, when I say complementary, just look at sexual reproduction. How in the world could that evolve? It’s all got to be there at once, or it doesn’t work.

And one of the things I enjoyed when I was doing homeschooling with the kids, Nancers and Genesis has some great curriculum with it. As I’ve said in the past, when I was going through school, they dumbed down biology into comparative anatomy, looking at skeletons even, not even the functioning of the amazing functioning of very, very different animals. But they just would look at the skeletons and say, well, this skeleton looks like that skeleton, so one must have evolved from the other one. Well, the other alternative is that they have a common creator, a common designer. And when you actually look at it from that perspective, one of the things that the curriculum and answers in Genesis had that I really loved, and anxious to do this with my grandson, is the fact that they would talk about the uniqueness of all these different animals, right? Look at the giraffe with its long neck, and it’s got a special thing under the brain to keep it from blacking out when it’s got a massive heart that pumps all that blood to the head that’s up so high.

And so you might be concerned and that a giraffe would have this rush of blood and lose consciousness when it dips down to drink some water. Well, it turns out there’s kind of a spongy-like thing that absorbs all that rush of pressure in their brain. Only giraffes have that, designed specifically for them. All right, take a look at a woodpecker. Why is it that a woodpecker can beat its head at a rapid rate incessantly against the wood and not pass out? It’s also got a kind of cushion there. And it has a long, sticky tongue that, after it gets a hole, it can go in their probing for insects.

Now, what good would a long, sticky tongue do it if it didn’t have the ability to create that hole? And it’s got feet that let it latch on vertically onto a trunk, all these different things, even the bombardier beetle, right? You got a bombardier beetle, puts these chemicals together, and they have a little bomb that explodes. Well, how could that evolve, right? If you got those, even if it had those specific chemicals that would make an explosion. If they came together and the beetle, the beetle itself would explode. I mean, there’s all these different things throughout nature that are fascinating to look at how the organisms actually work.

But what they had us looking at in biology was skeletons. They didn’t consider the unique function of these things. And so when you look at these bodyoids, this is a mentality that is rampant in so-called science, that essentially removes life out of the equation. Where does life come from? What is life? What is our consciousness? And so they look at this and they take the same approach that Aldous Huxley did in Brave New World, saying we can make sure that these individuals don’t have functioning brains. And again, there’s not any program that we know of.

I don’t know. Maybe some of these Silicon Valley people have got something going on the side that they’re keeping hidden from us. I wouldn’t be surprised. But what they’re doing is this part of it is a trial balloon to see how people are going to react. And so as they look at this, let me get this a little bit larger, small print here. So it said it could be disturbing to characterize human bodies in commodifying terms. But the unavoidable reality is that the human biological materials are essentially commodities in medicine. Well, that’s part of their problem, isn’t it? That’s one of the reasons why, because they have treated, think about this.

You go back to the Frankenstein movies, right? There’s a big deal about the body snatchers. They call the guys that would go out, the doctors would pay them to go dig up a recently dead body. And they call these guys resurrectionists, right? And they bring them in so they could do comparative anatomy studies and things like that, have cadavers to study anatomy with. Well, it starts out that way. And they continue to look at cadavers and people and bodies as a commodity. And what you wind up with is where we are today. We have pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer look at living people as commodities, that they’re just there for their own enrichment financially, their own profit.

That’s where this eventually leads. And so they said in this MIT study, they said more than 100,000 patients are currently waiting for a solid organ transplant in the US alone. It forces us to rely on animals and medical science. And then also the safety and efficacy of any experimental drug must still be confirmed in clinical trials on living human bodies. Does it? I thought that was over. Didn’t we get rid of that? Yeah, we did get rid of that, didn’t we? I mean, now the USDA is approving vaccines for animals that we eat. So it can take a decade or longer to complete.

No, you just say it’s an emergency and we’re going to do it at warp speed. And I’m going to skip all the tests. That’s what Trump did. And they said that when they do that, they only get approval 15% of the time. You think if they would have taken a decade to get the approval for the mRNA stuff, you think it would have passed? Of course not. It wouldn’t have even been close. So to say that we need to grow human bodies because we’ve got to test drugs, what a joke that is. Where have these people been? You know, they’re selling you stuff here with this.

And so when you talk about safety and the efficacy of this, they talk about organ transplants and so forth. Then they talk about the commodifying of humans. They never talk about what a human is. And this is what these transhumanists won’t do either. Zoltan is fine. I interviewed him with a transhumanist party. And I engaged him on that. I said, so what is a human? You know, what is consciousness? Is the brain simply a computer? Is it simply like RAM and ROM? And you can somehow, if you can grab those stored electrical charges somehow, you can reproduce who I am.

Is that all that I am? Well, of course, it all begs the question as to who created the computer, right? If you see somebody’s computer, you might ask them. If you don’t see the label or you don’t recognize the case, you might ask them who built it. But you don’t think that that computer just assembled itself out of random chance processes, do you? Nobody does. And so the question is, how did we get to this point? There might be a way to get out of this moral and scientific deadlock, they said. Well, actually, they don’t have the way.

They said within the realm of plausibility that we could do something like this. So let’s think about the ethics involved in it. They said you could use stem cells to create structures that seem to mimic the early development of actual human embryos. At the same time, artificial uterus technology is rapidly advancing. That’s something to worry about. Seriously. Now, when the government can design humans, what do you think they’re going to do to natural humans? Other pathways may be opening to allow for the development of fetuses outside of the body, together outside of marriage, outside of the family, outside of motherhood.

Our government, folks, the CIA, our government, has been focused on destroying the family my entire life. Deliberately, it is a calculated campaign to destroy the family, to destroy motherhood. It’s been very successful. Most women don’t even want to get married, let alone have children. Very successful. And all of that is preparation for them to be able to do a brave new world. And so now we have MIT pushing this as an ethical test. So they said, together with established genetic techniques to inhibit brain development, we could make it possible to envision the creation of bodyoids, a potentially unlimited source of human bodies developed entirely outside of a human body made out of stem cells that would lack sentience or the ability to feel pain.

The epsilons of brave new world, right? That was what Huxley said. Well, you know, we’re going to have hatcheries. We’re going to have the government create these babies. And I think in the novel, they deprived certain ones of oxygen. They wanted to have an alpha class that was going to be super smart, so they would give them enhanced materials. Because, again, all of this in their mind is simply material. God is out of the equation and all of this. And so they would give some of them enhanced nutrients and others they would remove those nutrients from them.

They said it’s essentially cloning someone’s biological material to empower that transplanted tissues are perfect immunological match. You see, this has been a long standing, if you want to know about the ethics of this stuff. This is the long standing ethics, so called, of the abortion industry. Well, it’s just a clump of tissues. Well, it doesn’t feel pain. Well, it doesn’t have consciousness, even to the extent that you’ve had some of these so-called ethicists saying, well, we think that you could abort babies up to the ages of two or three. Now, if this guy has ever had a child or looked at a child, close up, and I think about this all the time, I look at Travis’s son.

How could you look at a baby and even a baby, he’s only like four months old, I guess. Almost five. Well, you know, you think about it. There are babies that were five months older than him that are being ripped apart. I look at that all the time and think, what a monstrous evil that is. These people are talking about doing the same thing. We will grow a baby. We’ll make sure that it doesn’t feel pain. We’ll make sure it doesn’t know anything. Oh, you will? Then we’ll use it for your benefit. We’ll clone it from you and we might have something that is an exact genetic replica of you, a spare, so that we can test these drugs on your spare and see what it does to your spare so that you don’t get hurt by the drug.

They do it in a general case, but they do it in a specific, individualized case. This is the ultimate commodification, and it appeals to our selfishness, our desire to live forever, our desire to be lovers of self, essentially cloning somebody’s biological material to ensure that transplanted tissues are a perfect immunological match. A personalized screening of drugs. We can even envision using animal bodyoids in agriculture as a substitute for the use of sentient animal species. That’s basically what Bill Gates had been talking about in terms of lab meat. They’re just not talking about, I don’t think, at this point in time, who knows, but I don’t think that they’re talking about humans as lab meat.

But I wouldn’t put the possibility past them. They said exciting possibilities exist. They can’t be sure whether such bodyoids can survive without ever having developed brains, though, or the parts of brains associated with consciousness. Bodyoids could address many ethical questions in modern medicine, offering ways to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering. We do not allow broad research on people who no longer have consciousness, or in some cases never had it. So we’d have to change some of those things here. But at the same time, we know that much can be gained from studying the human body and doing that with people who have passed on.

But again, it brings us back to, what are we? Even animals have a spirit. They have what I would think of as a soul. In other words, they have will. They have the unconscious part of the body that is the brain that is organizing all the different parts, sending out signals for parts of the body to operate. But also, they do have will. And they do have basic animal instincts, and so do we. We have all that, but we have something else. We have something else that is created in the image of God.

And so that is the question. You know, exactly what are we? Are we simply a bunch of electronic signals? Are we a clump of tissues? I don’t think we’re any of that. These people really don’t understand what we are, but they have a call for action. They said, until recently, the idea of making something like a bodyoid would have been relegated to the realm of science fiction and philosophical speculation, but now it is at least plausible, possibly revolutionary, and it’s time for it to be explored. It’s time for it to be shut down, this idea.

This is an abomination that anything like this would even be proposed. And it shows you how far we have gone. Look, it’s not… The people, you’ve got to be concerned about it. It’s not these attention-grabbing media whores at the temple of Satan. It’s these people. These people. They’re the ones pushing the real satanic agenda. There is no need to start with humans. We can begin exploring the feasibility of this approach with rodents or other research animals. And work our way up to humans, you know. As we proceed, the ethical and social issues are at least as important as the scientific ones.

Just because something can be done does not mean that it should be done. Of course it shouldn’t be done. But again, as I said, it’s been sensationalized by the sun. And the UK. This is their headline out of all that. Over my dead body. Spare human bodies grown in artificial wombs and lab as scientists insist body wades feel no pain and can serve as meat. And again, that is sensationalizing and spinning this, even beyond what these people are talking about. But it boils down to three things. Testing drugs, which they don’t do now anymore, right? The FDA exists to give legal cover to these people.

And even when you talk about the black box labels for things like antibiotics and things like that, they exist to give legal immunity to the FDA for not doing its job and to the pharmaceutical companies who are willing to treat you as if you were a bodyoid to do whatever they wish to you to make money. So that’s why they put the black box labels on. And then the doctors don’t tell you. The hospital doesn’t tell you. The pharmacist doesn’t tell you. So they say, go sue the doctor, the pharmacist, or the hospital.

But hey, the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies have taken care of each other. They’ve given themselves an excuse. So they don’t do testing. So they don’t need it for that. You look at organ transplants, and that is something that has been couched in abomination from the very beginning. Hello, it’s me, Volodymyr Zelensky. I’m so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You’d think with all the billions, I’ve skimmed off America. I could dress better. And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.

But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the DavidKnightShow.com. And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I’d wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
