Welcome back to New World next week. I'm James Corbett of Corbett Report.com.

And I'm James Evan Palado, MediaMonarchy.com by your powers combined. I am Captain Planet. I've never said those words before.

I'm a little older than that. But we've got that story. Plus, the Internet Archive is now a federal depository library, and I'm kind of concerned.

But first, tech billionaires, rogue scientists, moving to commercialize CRISPR babies.

This from Genetics and Society.org, since the CRISPR Baby scandal in 2018, no additional

genetically modified babies are known to have been born. Now several techno-enthusiastic billionaires

are setting up privately funded companies to genetically

edit human embryos with the explicit intention of creating genetically modified children.

Heritable genome editing remains prohibited in policies in the overwhelming majority of

countries that have any relevant policy to this and a binding European treaty as

well. Support for keeping it legally off limits, heritable genome editing is widespread,

including among scientists working to develop gene therapies. A number of key opponents and

skeptics are taking new steps to make their voices heard, James,

it made me back up.

Opponents and skeptics in this case being the ones that want to do all this.

Bloomberg News reports that bootstrap bio, a company created a whole 18 months ago,

has hired a chief science officer, opened a lab, and pivoted its work to genetic

editing of human embryos. Based on investor information, it says that bootstrap bio may be planning

to launch human trials, that is, using alter embryos to initiate pregnancies in 2026 or 2027

in Honduras, quote, a place where the company could potentially avoid U.S.

regulation.

So, James, I guess this time the Nazi babies will be made in Central America, not in South America.
