Will the creation of a genetically modified person stop aging or turn us into monsters? Scientists all over the world are convinced that it is real to stop the aging of the human body and restore its youth. You just need to change the genetic code and become a genetically modified creature.
For the first time in history, American specialists in the field of genetics conducted a unique experiment to introduce new genes into the body of a 44-year-old woman who voluntarily took part in the study. The authors of the experiment believe that the subject's aging will stop and a new process will start - rejuvenation. According to their plan, new genes will penetrate into the nuclei of all cells of the body and turn on the irreversible process of rejuvenation. Experts want to achieve the effect of "eternal youth" by disabling the human body's program for aging its DNA.
However, there are also opponents of such technologies, because a person interferes with the structure of the genetic code, trying to turn the biological clock back. In their opinion, such interference in the "affairs of God" will lead to the death of all mankind. But the authors of the experiment are sure: very soon all young people, in order not to grow old, will use this method, introducing foreign genes according to the principle of vaccination. This procedure will take place once in a lifetime.
Other American scientists have gone even further. It was announced that they could create a human mutant who would be injected with 11 genes from insects and animals. So, they are sure that for space flights, astronauts need to plant a gene from bacteria. In this case, they will be able to withstand high radiation, which is 7-10 times more than usual. However, no one says how it will end and can we hope for success?
Is there a chance to stop the biological clock and turn it back?
Some opponents of such experiments with the human genome are sure that time cannot be returned or stopped. It can only be slowed down, but without such experiences. The development of medicine, the emergence of stimulants and effective drugs - all this contributes to a longer life expectancy. For example, in Israel, Germany, the United States and France, life expectancy has increased by 40-45 years since the beginning of the 19th century. Interfering with the human genome will give our civilization nothing but new diseases and mutations. In fact, scientists want to "give birth" to a new Frankenstein.
Most of the people on the planet are against genetically modified foods, and they are immediately slipped into a genetically modified person. How will he feel among us and will he be able to get along with a cruel society? What if we become a burden to him?
Experiments on replacing the human genome are still prohibited. However, experiments on animals are in full swing. So, Chinese scientists told the world that they were able to create special pigs by injecting several human genes into them. Such experiments will help in the future to transplant internal organs from pigs to humans. In this case, there will be no rejection. You will not need to drink medicine all your life to maintain the transplanted organ. And more recently, the world learned that in the United States, gene vaccines are being vaccinated for adults that can prevent glaucoma and diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Many geneticists are sure that it is quite possible to create a person who can live forever. Moreover, he will not get sick and will easily adapt to any conditions on the planet. You can make an amphibious man or teach him to fly, because most of the animal genes are identical to humans.
Although today there are all the prerequisites for creating a transgenic person, all these are just theories. Now specialists are unable to control the processes of insertion of genes from insects and animals into the human genome. It is impossible to predict the consequences and side effects. The ethical issue remains the main factor. Who will be considered a person who has been transplanted with a pig or jellyfish gene?
The contradictions are not resolvable today, but time will pass, and we will see what they are - genetically modified people.
