This week, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a surprisingly transparent and honest press release about the new PREPARE program. The goal of the project is to change human genetics to resist certain threats.
DARPA says the PREPARE program "will create new safe medical protections that can temporarily alter the activity of protective genes."
The researchers will study the human body's ability to withstand biological, chemical and radiation threats "after a temporary reversible change in gene expression that will strengthen the body's defense system."
To begin with, the Office decided to deal with four ailments, including:
- infections caused by the influenza virus;
- opioid overdose;
- poisoning with organophosphate compounds (for example, pesticides);
- exposure to gamma rays (as a result of a nuclear explosion).

It doesn't look so impressive, but a number of questions arise.
Will Genetic Flu Vaccines Become Mandatory?
Will America Cope with the Opioid Crisis with Genetic Change?
Will global hunger be defeated with the help of genetically modified foods (only first, you need to distribute genetically altering drugs)?
Will the United States prevail over its enemies thanks to Americans' immunity to nuclear radiation?
One of the developers of the program, Rene Weggin, called the human body "remarkably elastic" and added:
“Every cell in the body already contains genes that can provide some level of protection against health threats, but this built-in mechanism is not always able to respond quickly and efficiently. With PREPARE, the natural defense mechanism can be temporarily made to work more efficiently, both before and after a threat. Genetic changes are reversible."
Wegrzin says the new approach will help tackle four problems. For example, flu vaccines try to destroy moving targets, so circulating influenza virus strains often do not interact with vaccine strains.
TruNews reporters believe DARPA is inventing "temporary" transhumanism in the form of "programmed gene expression." In the event of a threat, the genes can be changed, and when the danger recedes, they will return to their normal state.
