IMAGINE LEARNING HOW TO...




IMAGINE LEARNING HOW TO...




Visit otherworlds,other planes of existence.
Here is another excerpt from THE SUPER KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR DREAMS,BY 
duane heppner.If you want to pick up a copy,go to amazon.com,or lulu.com.Thankyou


P.S.If you do get a copy,let me know what you discover.enjoy!










In 2001, days after I received THE ROD OF POWER from
Paul Twitchell, for the first time.....Rebazar, Paul, Yauble and
Gopal Das, all appeared to me at the foot of my bed one
evening in the middle of the night and asked me to follow
them. All of us flew to Blue Sky Island, where Heather and I
had our secret place we would go to on a nightly basis. All of
us flew onto the beach and sat on the sand. Rebazar spoke
first...
“We want you to write a series of books in your own style and
also update some of Paul's books so that it will show others
we are working with you to get people's attention. You already
know what Darwin has done, and Harold has been going
along the same lines for a long time since Joan arrived. We
are not concerned about them, because they have been
handed over to The Lords of Karma, and as time and events
pass they will have racked up a lot more lifetimes of having to
deal with all they have created. It will not show up just yet, but
we are going to start with something new, which will be part of
your future years from now. All in all, this will be Your
NUAdventure.”
As I was listening to RT, I was feeling like a kid in school.
Here I was, the man with THE ROD OF POWER, and I wasn't
quite sure what to do yet. Then Yauble spoke...
“This is all new to you in a sense Duane, and it will take time
to adjust, but the end result will be with what you will present
to this world as The NUHistory of The ALL IS, and as it comes
into view. You will rewrite history in The NUNowness and
establish a place here like no one else. You cannot see it yet,
but we are building something Wonderfully Big from The
Unseen. For now, what you will be doing will stay pretty
localized, but in the future the entire earth will know of you and
all of us. We are here to make sure what you will be
presenting will be the biggest it has ever been. So, just sit
back and we will do the rest. You are the 'Front Guy' to the
world of humans and you will go through a lot, but you will
provide The Greatest Benefit of ALL.”
As I sat and heard what he was saying I was mesmerized at
the whole scene I was watching as these Wonderful Beings
were supporting me. When you are so usedto the earth, it is
always a wonderment at what is taking place outside of thebody. All of us sat and talked for the longest time as I just
listened for what seemed like days. I cannot remember all that
was said, and so eventually we left and I woke up again in my
physical body, sitting on my bed and still wondering what to
do. I had started this book several times as I was writing other
books, and so I continued to put this one on the back burner.
It is now 2009, and I have decided to finish this
book...DuaneHB

Decimate the Health of Your Unborn Baby and the Fertility of Future Generations




The Potential Effects of Soy, and How it Might Decimate the Health of Your Unborn Baby and the Fertility of Future Generations











By Dr. Mercola


If you're pregnant or thinking of having a baby, you might want to take a look at some new research on the effects of plant estrogens, such as that found in soy, on a developing fetus.


According to Medical News Today1, a paper published in Biology of Reproduction2 suggests that exposure to estrogenic chemicals in the womb or during childhood has the potential to negatively affect a woman's fertility as an adult.


This coincides with earlier research on neonatal effects of exposure to plant or environmental estrogens.  In studies with mice, researchers found that causes of infertility included:


Failure to ovulate
Reduced ability of the oviduct to support embryo development before ovulation, and
Failure of the uterus to support effective implantation of blastocyst-stage embryos
According to Medical News Today:


"The team now reports that neonatal exposure to genistein changes the level of immune response in the mouse oviduct, known as mucosal immune response. Some of the immune response genes were altered beginning from the time of genistein treatment, while others were altered much later, when the mouse was in early pregnancy.


Together, those changes led to harmfully altered immune responses and to compromised oviduct support for preimplantation embryo development, both of which would likely contribute to infertility."


Since human development of the reproductive tract continues through puberty, researchers believe that estrogenic chemical exposure to human females as a fetus, infant, child, and adolescent could have impacts on fertility. The authors suggested that minimizing the use of soy-based baby formula would be a step toward maintaining female reproductive health.


Earlier research has also found that the compound genistein impairs sperm as they swim toward the egg. Even tiny doses of the compound in the female tract could destroy sperm, which would impair your ability to conceive in the first place.


Do You Still Believe Soy is a Health Food?


Soybeans contain compounds called phytoestrogens or isoflavones, which have been found to produce a variety of mild hormonal actions within the human body by mimicking the sex hormone estrogen. An increased risk of breast cancer is another potential hazard, especially if you're exposed to high amounts of estrogen-mimicking compounds from birth.


Making matters worse, unless you're buying USDA 100% Organic soy products, chances are you're consuming genetically engineered (GE) soy, or feeding it to your baby, and GE crops—soy in particular—has also been linked to serious fertility problems. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, has similarly been implicated in causing miscarriages, and both conventional- and genetically engineered soy is typically treated with heavy doses of this herbicide.


All in all, the health hazards of unfermented soy products—particularly genetically engineered varieties—are so serious and numerous, I strongly suggest avoiding them altogether, whether you're planning a pregnancy or not. But clearly, it's of particular concern for pregnant women.


For an excellent summary of the many dangers of consuming unfermented soy, please see this previous article by The Weston A. Price Foundation.


Unfortunately, many Americans who are committed to healthy lifestyles have been hoodwinked and manipulated into believing that unfermented and processed soy products like soy milk, soy cheese, soy burgers and soy ice cream are good for them. This is a tragic case of shrewd marketing and outright lies, with the end result of producing large profits for the soy industry and impaired health for most who have been deceived into using unfermented soy long-term.


Why You Should Avoid Feeding Your Baby Soy Infant Formula


Nearly 20 percent of U.S. infants are now fed soy formula, but as demonstrated in the featured study, the estrogens in soy can cause serious long-term harm to your baby's sexual development and reproductive health. It's important to realize that feeding your baby soy formula is like giving her an estimated four to five birth control pills' worth of estrogen every day. Infants fed soy formula have up to 20,000 times the amount of estrogen in circulation as those fed other formulas!


A 1997 study in The Lancet3 found that infants who consume soy formulas were exposed to phytoestrogen levels that were 6-11 times higher, on a body weight basis, than in adults consuming soy foods. And when you consider the fact that drinking two glasses of soy milk a day for one month provides enough of these compounds to alter your menstrual cycle, I'm sure you can see what a massive problem soy formula can be.


Male infants are also adversely affected by phytoestrogens. Male babies undergo a testosterone surge during the first few months of life, when testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male.


During this period, baby boys are programmed to express male characteristics after puberty, not only in the development of their sexual organs and other masculinity traits, but also in setting patterns in the brain characteristic of male behavior. Flooding his system with female hormones during this time can have severe ramifications on his development, including potentially smaller testes and significantly reduced testosterone levels.


Today, about 15 percent of white girls and as much as 50 percent of African-Americans girls show signs of puberty, such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight. Some girls are showing sexual development before the age of three! Such premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to other environmental estrogen-mimickers such as PCBs and DDE.


Soy Infant Formula May Reduce Your Baby's IQ


Aside from harmful endocrine disrupters, soy infant formula can also contain over 1,000 percent more aluminum than conventional milk-based formulas. Aluminum is a potent neurotoxin that has been implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. According to a study in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics4:


"Aluminum is now being implicated as interfering with a variety of cellular and metabolic processes in the nervous system and in other tissues."


But that's not all. Many soy foods also have toxic levels of manganese. Soy formula contains up to 80 times more manganese than is found in human breast milk, and according to recent research, high concentrations of manganese can lead to brain damage in infants and altered behaviors in adolescents.5


I rarely talk about absolutes but this is one instant where I will say: I encourage you to NEVER give your child soy formula. (I guess the only exception would be if there was a catastrophe and soy formula was the only food source temporarily available to keep your baby alive.)


The Benefits of Breast Feeding, and Healthier Alternatives


One of the best gifts you can give your child is to start out their life with a sound nutritional foundation, and the best way from a health perspective to do this is by breastfeeding if you can. In fact, statistics show a clear correlation between feeding infants artificial formula and increased infant mortality within the first year.


It's important to realize that there are at least 400 nutrients in breast milk that are NOT found in formula. Of course, the healthier a mom's diet is, the healthier her breast milk will be, too. While any amount of breastfeeding is better than none at all, it is clearly to your advantage, and best for your baby's health, to breastfeed exclusively for at least the first 6 months. Then, at the age of 6 or 9 months, you can begin to supplement with solid foods (while still continuing to breastfeed as well).


As you can see from the chart below, breast milk, and animal milk are far superior to commercially available infant formulas. What exactly does your baby stand to gain by being breastfed?


Lower risk of respiratory tract and middle ear infections
Lower risk of eczema
Lower risk of obesity
Added protection against heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and allergies
Improved brain function and immune system function




There are benefits to mom, too. The main ones are a reduced risk of chronic diseases like cancer, a faster return to your pre-pregnancy weight, and increased bonding between you and your baby.


There are circumstances and medical conditions that can prevent a woman from breastfeeding, however the majority of women are able to breastfeed successfully. If you need help, contact a lactation consultant in your area for tips and support. You can also visit La Leche League, which is a phenomenal resource for breastfeeding moms. If for some reason you're not able to breastfeed, or you have adopted a baby, your next best option is to make a healthy infant formula using raw milk. You can find homemade formula recipes here.

You could visit the dream visions with THE REAL GUIDES
Listen1! iam going to give you an excerpt from :THE SUPER KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR DREAMS,by:
Duane Heppner
Paul Twitchell
Rebazar Tarzs
The Real Universal Guides












INTRODUCTION BY DUANE HEPPNER
This world contains only small amounts of RealKnowledge
about the reason for life here and how it applies to The
TruReality ITSELF. Life in ITS ALLTruness, really does make
sense, and so it only exists as a RealTruth that mankind with
his mind and emotions will never know his TruPotential as
long as he clings to The Dualistic Forces of this realm and The
Two Heavens and Gods he prays to. For the most part,
humans are a very dangerous breed, as they have proven this
as their own history reveals. After thousands of lifetimes, the
human race is right back where it started with the same
notions, ideals and attitudes as history has documented where
civilizations have self-destructed into the dust they were
formed from.
The Real Universal Guides stand in The Unseen Realities and
await those who show even the least amount of interest in
exploring past The Contrived Business Systems of The
Authoritarians and The Gods of Man. The Real Guides have
The Real Connection to The TruReality, The ALL IS, where
there is no duality and no reincarnation and karma, but only
The Real and Endless Universes of The SoundLight Reality,
as PurPerfection and Brilliance. Because humans humans
have been taught to look to their mind and emotions to resolve
their existence on earth, they have created a very insecure
and limited position for themselves, and at the same time have
given their lives to the will of forces they wish to be rid of. And
so a great contradiction has developed with all of the humans
and the various systems of knowledge they have created.
None of what the humans have formulated, invented and
erected exists in Reality, but only on this RoundWorld, which


floats in a sea of darkness among other worlds on fire that
provide the light in this realm. The earth is a reality all its own,
and resides in a particular position with ALL That IS. It is
understandable that most would consider this place to be all
there is to life, and that there is a heaven somewhere to be
found, but only after the death of the body, as The Belief
Systems would have all they influenced to believe.




My position is one of 'reporting the news,' and not inventing
something out of the dust, which The Belief System
Businesses have done very proficiently. And as such, my
position becomes The Great Adventure for all those who will
learn to perceive what their senses know nothing about. Each
one of us has to be shown The Steps into Reality, and taken
gently into The Bigger Reality, and this is where RealGuidance
comes into our lives. Because humans are mainly into their
minds and emotions as their source for survival, they very
seldom pay attention to their DreamVisions, unless there is a
reference of some kind to relate to, and even then the
understanding is usually directed to their physical life of
phenomena only. The Real Universal Guides provide The
Real Connection to The SoundLight Reality, which opens The
RealAwareness of the individual to where they begin to see
the 'writing on the wall,' so to speak. The existing teachings
such as spiritual paths, metaphysics, masters and gurus, to
name a few, are in The PsycRealms and mainly utilize The
Dualistic Forces of The Lords of Karma. The Real Universal
Guides are direct from The TruReality, and their purpose for
being here is to provide RealGuidance into The Real
Universes, which lie far beyond The PsycRealms and The
Gods of Man.


The Real Universal Guides, with The Real Connection to The
TruReality, The ALL IS, choose one person who has gone
through the most rigorous training to take on what has been
termed THE ROD OF POWER, which I now refer to as THE
NUWAVE. Very few will ever know what THE NUWAVE really
IS. When I took on The Real Position for the second time in
2007, a very special friend of mine told me her experience
from The RealSide with The Real Guides. She said she was
once again on a beautiful beach where the sand was of a
whitish golden color and the water was the most magnificent
turquoise blue. As she looked out over the glassy liquid and
the brilliant Sun in the sky, it spread its brilliant upon the water
providing billions of diamonds of light that seemed to dance
everywhere. Just then, Rebazar Tarzs and Paul Twitchell
appeared at her side, as Rebazar point to the distant horizon
and then said...
“Look Miss Kathy, THE NUMAN is here.”
What she suddenly saw was a huge wave forming from the
horizon and moving toward the shore she was standing on.
The wave continued to build until it was almost covering the
sky. Kathy could see a small figure on a surfboard riding the
gigantic wave straight towards her. The Giant Wave never
broke, but continued to roll towards the shore as it held up and
crested with a feathery appearance of the moving water near
the top.
Miss Kathy...”I stood and watched patiently as Rebazar and
Paul made comments about THE NUMAN and his
NUPresentation. Eventually, The Great Wave neared the
shore and then casually subsided as the rider rode his board
to the sandy shore and then jumped off. He walked up to me
and I could see that it was my friend Duane.”
“Then Duane came up to me and gave me a big hug and said,
”Hello Miss Kathy, I am finally ready to do what I came here to
do.”
THE NUWAVE is The ALLAliveness from The ALL IS, and in
this experience, The Giant Wave is a manifestation from The
IS, but not The IS ITSELF. It is not, and has nothing to do with
The Dualistic Forces of positive and negative, which are of the
spiritual nature of SpaceTime Realms. Those who are
connected to the various systems and considerations that
have plagued mankind since he first set foot on this planet are
those lights from the Astral Worlds and their LordGovernor
who rules over humanity, along with his brother The Lord God,
Kalaum of the Mental Worlds. There is a great distinction
between the appearance of Reality, and The TruReality
ITSELF. Because most humans have been seduced by The
DarkForces for millions of their lifetimes on this RoundWorld
and many others like it, a great misunderstanding has
occurred as each person carries their karmic burdens from
lifetime to lifetime unconsciously with them. At some point in a
person's experience here, they may have the good fortune to
meet up with The Real Universal Guides. When this
experience does occur, that person then has the choice to
explore the unknown or stay with what they have always
known. Life IS The Great Adventure. It is not a spiritual path
or teaching, a metaphysical study or a collection of soundgood
information from the space people or the Angels and
entities from the Astral Worlds. These things do have there
place for sure, but they are of the infancy of what humanshave always referred to, because they have never had Real
Experiences with The Real Connection and The Universal
Guides into The Real Universes.

JUST IMAGINE TRAVELLING....

http://theuniversalfiles.blogspot.com/
==== ====
Just imagine for moment...travelling in the higher worlds,
with THE NUMAN with THE NUWAVEhaving entered your life,and heading
in the right direction to THE REAL UNIVERSES of THE ALL IS.
Here is the reality of your dream world.The question is,are you ready to come out of the box?
Listen carefully.Iam giving you excerpts from DUANE THE GREAT WRITER.INFO,Who wrote
REAL GUIDANCE IN YOUR DREAM VISIONS.
Because most people have been so dowsed with doctrines,
rules and regulations and the constant burden of having to
agree, it is no wonder they also consider their heavens to be
the same. The Two Heavens of Man are places in life, and not
the whole of life, just like anywhere we live here. They are
wonderful places and I have been there many times, but they
are not the ultimate. Anyone can learn to visit these places
while they are still on earth in their DreamVisions, even though
The Belief System Businesses say otherwise. Above these
decided two levels are two more wondrous realms, and then
past them the most Unbelievable Universes one could never
imagine. The RoundWorlds of this material realm are such as
the process the to go through until we are ready to climb The
Mountain of The IS. This is when The Real Guides show up
and begin to give a person Real Experiences in their
DreamVisions. And so at first there may be a particular
reaction according to how each person has been brought
through this life, as some will have it easier than others. Many
people are having Real Experiences with The Real Guides,
but they need the outer information to make The Real
Connection, and so that is why I am writing this
NUPresentation for all those who are ready Now.
When a person has met up with The Real Guides they begin
to have Real Experiences and adventures with their
DreamVisions. If the person is a NUStudent and working
toward becoming TotallyAware, then they are working off theirpast karmic debts in a speedy manner under the direction of
The Real Guides. The benefit of this is they are no longer tied
to The Gods of Man and The Lords of Karma, for now THE
NUMAN with THE NUWAVE has entered their life and they will
be heading in the right direction home, The Real Universes of
The ALL IS. The daily life of each NUStudent is now better
situated to earn their living and get on with their life while The
Real Guides take care of the obstacles that would normally
get in the way. Paul Twitchell gave his students at least two
years of preparation to test what he was presenting, and so it
is that all NUStudents should test what I am presenting to
make sure this NUAdventure is for them. The Real Guides are
always looking for those individuals who have The
RealCourage in becoming The NULeaders.

Experiences that you never had before,just by practicing the N-U-
U-U SOUND,OUT LOUD,OR SILENTLY.




When you go to sleep at night,and take a dream journey
to some place,in the higher worlds,outside your normal range of experience.






Normally,we go to the same places,or we do not remember our night journeys.
That is why we need a guide,or guides to take us into the higher worlds.
It helps to have a record of someone who has done the journey,and has left
a record of his experiences and and descriptions,of these places.You can learn
things to help you grow spiritually.If you want to know more, you can find his writings
on lulu.com,or amazon.com.


If you do practice the nu-u-u,and go on to read the books,let me know what you think.

Why Did the Wall Street Journal Bury the Merck Fraud Story?

Why Did the Wall Street Journal Bury the Merck Fraud Story?
By Dr. Mercola
It was big news when court documents were unsealed revealing a whistleblower lawsuit accusing
drug giant Merck of fraud and lying about the true efficacy of its mumps vaccine. Just about every
media, large and small, picked it up and the world was abuzz about the hundreds of millions of
dollars the lawsuit claimed Merck had defrauded from the U.S. government.
The Wall Street Journal published the story in the form of a Dow Jones news release written by
Jon Kamp on June 22, 2012, and links to the story began popping up on social media like
Facebook.
Then, suddenly, the link to the story no longer worked, and if anyone clicked on the link in social
media, it would show up "page not found." Apparently the story had been pulled, and when search
engines and Internet archives wouldn't even show it, it looked as if it had never been published on
the Journal's site at all. It was erased nearly clean--except for a small stock-watcher's website,
4Traders.com, which did a good job of erasing it from its main site but didn't catch it in the cache.
The question is, why did the WSJ pull the story and try to erase as if it never existed when there
were actual court documents for evidence?
Is it possible that an event that occurred on June 251—three days after the story broke—could
have influenced the story being pulled? On that day, the Wall Street Journal’s "elite" network of
CFOs from the world’s top corporations met at the WSJ2. Merck is on that executive council3.
My team attempted to connect with the WSJ on this issue, but as of this time, we have not yet
received an answer as to why this article was pulled.
Merck Accused of Falsifying Efficacy Studies and Lying about Effectiveness of Mumps Vaccine
Merck has actually been slapped with two class-action lawsuits over their mumps vaccine (which
is part of the trivalent measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine). The first, which was initially
filed in 2010, was unsealed late last month.
Two former Merck virologists, Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, claim they witnessed firsthand
the improper testing and falsification of data that was done to hide the fact that the vaccine
has significantly declined in effectiveness4.

ENGINEERING BABIES?

By Dr. Mercola
 

When I first read that genetically modified humans have already been born, I could hardly believe it. However, further research into this story featured in the UK's Daily Mail1 proved it to be true. They've really done it... they've created humans that nature could never allow for, and it's anyone's guess as to what will happen next.
Even more shocking was the discovery that this is actually old news!
The Daily Mail article was not dated, and upon investigation, the experiments cited actually took place over a decade ago; the study announcing their successful birth was published in 20012.
While I typically comment on recent findings and health related news, in this case I will make an exception, because I think many of you may be as surprised by this information as I was. I do not propose to have any answers here as this is out of my scope of expertise.
At best, I hope I can stir you to ponder the implications of this type of genetic engineering, and I invite you to share your perspective in the vital votes' comment section below. As reported in the featured article:
 

"The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics... Fifteen of the children were born... as a result of one experimental program at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.
The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilized in an attempt to enable them to conceive.

Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults—two women and one man."

Human Germline Now Altered... What Happens Next?
 

Today, these children are in their early teens, and while the original study claims that this was "the first case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children," later reports put such claims of absolute success in dispute. Still, back in 2001, the authors seemed to think they had it all under control, stating:

"These are the first reported cases of germline mtDNA genetic modification which have led to the inheritance of two mtDNA populations in the children resulting from ooplasmic transplantation. These mtDNA fingerprints demonstrate that the transferred mitochondria can be replicated and maintained in the offspring, therefore being a genetic modification without potentially altering mitochondrial function."

It's relevant to understand that these children have inherited extra genes—that of TWO women and one man—and will be able to pass this extra set of genetic traits to their own offspring. One of the most shocking considerations here is that this was done—repeatedly—even though no one knows what the ramifications of having the genetic traits of three parents might be for the individual, or for their subsequent offspring.

Based on what I've learned about the genetic engineering of plants, I'm inclined to say the ramifications could potentially be vast, dire, and completely unexpected.
As a general, broad-strokes rule, it seems few scientists fond of gene-tinkering have a well-rounded or holistic view of living organisms, opting instead to view the human body as a machine. And as demonstrated with the multi-varied problems that have arisen from genetically engineered foods—from the development of superweeds and superpests, to the creation of a never-before-seen organism now linked to miscarriage and infertility—such a view is bound to lead you to the wrong conclusions...
Surprise, Surprise... "Unpredictable Outcomes" Reported
 

As it turns out, this type of genetic modification, called cytoplasmic transfer, is actually a hot topic among geneticists, but it's rarely published or discussed in the lay press, if at all—as evidenced by my own surprise when reading this decade-old piece of news.
Many follow-up reports continue to tout the high success of this method of treating infertility. But some, including a book put out by Cambridge Press, warns of the dangers and risks of this procedure. For example, the following excerpts from a report3 delivered during the 2003 World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility in Berlin raises questions about the less than thoughtful implementation of this technology, and some of the problems encountered:
 

"... Cytoplasmic control of preimplantation development is not a "new" concept, but ooplasm transfer have been amazingly rapidly applied in humans, with relative success, in the absence of extensive research to evaluate the efficacy and the potential risks of the method, resulting in some publications highlighting the potential dangers (Winston and Hardy 2002, DeRycke et al 2002, Templeton 2002), and unpredictable outcomes (Cummins 2001, 2002).

... A frank follow-up of ooplasmic transplantation pregnancies and infants reports that two out of 17 fetuses had an abnormal 45, XO karyotype. The authors assume the hypothesis of a link between chromosomal anomalies and oocytes manipulation, and reveal that one of the babies has been diagnosed at 18 months with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a spectrum of autism-related diagnoses." [Emphasis mine]

So it didn't take long—less than two years, in fact—for reports of "unpredictable outcomes" to crop up. I for one am not surprised. It's somewhat disconcerting that so much of this research is taking place without open discussion about the ethical questions associated with it.

The US FDA appears to have begun looking at the ethics of ooplasmic transplantation, and in one powerpoint4 it is pointed out that an 18-month-old child born from this procedure has been diagnosed with autism (PDD), and that the incidence of chromosomal anomalies is known to be higher in children born from the procedure than the rate of major congenital abnormalities observed in the natural population.
The document also states that lack of testing and long-term follow-up of the children born from the procedure so far is a significant shortcoming, making evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the technique very difficult. The genetic modification of humans appears to have been running alongside the genetic engineering of plants, being just a few years behind in terms of the technology being unleashed, and the lack of proper evaluation of health effects is apparently on par as well, which is to say near non-existent...
Could They Create Patentable Humans? Perhaps...
 

Another horrific side effect that has nothing to do with health per se, is the potential that making this procedure widely available may trigger a "patent" war; meaning these genetically modified humans could become patentable property.

Sound crazy?

You bet! But it's not outside the realm of possibility. The world is already embroiled in discussions about which genetically engineered life forms can and cannot be patented5, and biotech companies have secured patents on everything from genetically modified seeds to engineered animals of various kinds. Even human genes have already been patented!

As explained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)6:
 

"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants patents on human genes, which means that the patent holders own the exclusive rights to those genetic sequences, their usage, and their chemical composition. Anyone who makes or uses a patented gene without permission of the patent holder – whether it be for commercial or noncommercial purposes – is committing patent infringement and can be sued by the patent holder for such infringement. Gene patents, like other patents, are granted for 20 years.

For example, Myriad Genetics, a private biotechnology company based in Utah, controls patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes [two genes associated with hereditary breast- and ovarian cancer]. Because of its patents, Myriad has the right to prevent anyone else from testing, studying, or even looking at these genes. It also holds the exclusive rights to any mutations along those genes. No one is allowed to do anything with the BRCA genes without Myriad's permission.

A 2005 study found that 4,382 of the 23,688 human genes in the National Center for Biotechnology Information's gene database are explicitly claimed as intellectual property.  This means that nearly 20% of human genes are patented. In addition to the BRCA genes, genes associated with numerous diseases, both common and rare, are patented, including Alzheimer's disease, asthma, some forms of colon cancer, Canavan disease, hemochromatosis, some forms of muscular dystrophy, Long QT Syndrome, and many others."

If this sounds outrageous, illegal, and nonsensical, it's because it's all of those things. The ACLU claims to be engaged in a noble lawsuit against the US Patent and Trademark Office to stop the practice of issuing patents that are contrary to the law, which states only inventions can be patented—not naturally occurring parts of the human body. Still, the precedent has been clearly set. So what's to stop a company from eventually claiming patent rights on an entire individual?

Human Cloning Next?
 

According to the featured article7, "altering the human germline—in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our species—is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world's scientists. Geneticists fear that one day this method could be used to create new races of humans with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high intelligence."

But that's clearly not the end of the line in terms of where this technology might lead, if it hasn't already:
 

"... Jacques Cohen is regarded as a brilliant but controversial scientist who has pushed the boundaries of assisted reproduction technologies," Mail Online states8. "He developed a technique which allows infertile men to have their own children, by injecting sperm DNA straight into the egg in the lab. Prior to this, only infertile women were able to conceive using IVF.
Last year [2000], Professor Cohen said that his expertise would allow him to clone children—a prospect treated with horror by the mainstream scientific community. 'It would be an afternoon's work for one of my students,' he said, adding that he had been approached by 'at least three' individuals wishing to create a cloned child, but had turned down their requests."

That was then—12 years ago. One can only guess what might have transpired in laboratories such as that of Professor Cohen since then...
