Biotech Seeking Ways To Make People Suffer EternallyNicholas West If there is any question left about the God complex with which some A recent article discussing the work of Dr. Rebecca Roache opens with one line: Sentencing a criminal to 1,000 years in an Incredibly, this research is being championed by a doctor of philosophy at Oxford who is part of their official blog Life extension itself is a controversial topic. The era of cyborgs Dr. Rebecca Roache and her research team at Oxford apparently seek to correct the inadequacies of sentencing applied to the most heninous criminals. The prime example given is the deranged parents of a four-year-old boy they horrifically tortured and killed the pair received 30 years; a laughably inadequate sentence in Dr. Roaches estimation. If one only had the power to balance the scales, perhaps to inflict endless suffering and pain . Her suggestions are indeed debatable. In fact, the extreme negatives surrounding the technologies of war and mind control often overshadow the great benefits that technology can offer. Secondly, the current criminal justice system, especially in the U.S., is already rife with cases of extreme injustice and torture. Nevertheless, Dr. Roache forges ahead seemingly comfortable with governments condoning futuristic methods of punishment to be imposed as prison officials see fit. Dr. Roache suggests that psychoactive drugs which distort ones sense of time could be more precisely developed and administered within the prison system. Such distortion could theoretically lead to a prisoner to feel as though they are condemned to eternal torment. As I was reading, I could only think, What if a tyrant or garden-variety sadist got a hold of this type of power? This is like something out of a Nazi experiment or Abu Ghraib. Then I scrolled farther down in the Daily Mail article where I encountered the face of Adolf Hitler. Finally, I thought, someone is going to inject sanity into this discussion by showing how dangerous this line of thinking really is. I was to be disappointed. Instead, Hitler serves as the ultimate example of why we need to extend life so that we can torture people like him for eternity! Enter the supercomputer the transhumanists favorite tool to seek immortality. Futurist and a director with Googles engineering division, Ray Kurzweil, (though recently divorcing himself from the term transhumanism) has stated that one concrete goal is to use DNA nanobots to connect peoples minds directly to cloud computing. This new computer mind could also be distorted, according to Dr. Roache, since the uploaded mind could be sped up or slowed down. In a final appeal to the practical ya know, if infinitely torturing someone is not quite psychologically fulfilling for you think of the savings to the taxpayer! Although its a bit ironic since the article also mentions billions of dollars being invested in this type of research. In one final ironic twist, Dr. Roache implies that such extreme punishments would have to be reserved for only the most extreme criminals or criminal threat. If someone deliberately set up an experiment like that, I could see that being the kind of supercrime that would justify an eternal sentence. Mad scientists setting up experiments that could pose a permanent threat to humanity? Hmm, I think we have some early candidates. Source: Recently by Nicholas West: If punishment/imprisonment actually worked to help make criminals into people who are law-abiding, we wouldnt have any criminals left, would we? If it actually worked, that is one thing. But this woman seems to think we arent punishing criminals enough, if we just devise a punishment that is horrific enough, they will change and become normal. This is circular logic and has no logic in fact. This woman is scary. Laughing at the misfortunes of others. Humiliation. Punishment. Pain. Fear. Yet they themselves are cowards. We are in a spiritual war, folks- and it is pervasive. Whatever is beautiful, whatever is good, whatever is true reverse that and you have the satanic/luciferian agenda. Real people cannot believe this depth of depravity. If ever you feel the fear, or any form of negativity, say this with conviction: NOBODY has my permission to harm me in any way.
