“They are designing super babies”: CEO of company that revived dire wolves claims China is playing with human genetics

Ben Lamm, co-founder of Colossal Biosciences, claims that in the Asian giant they found the gene for intelligence and they want to replicate it in babies.

The CEO of the company Colossal Biosciences, Ben Lamm, warned that in China, there are allegedly genetic editing laboratories where they are “designing super babies.”

The company executive who cloned three specimens of giant wolf or dire wolf and made woolly mammoth hair grow on a mouse, criticized that the Asian country is on a much more dangerous scale than what they do in their laboratories.

According to what Lamm explains, in an interview he gave on Joe Rogan’s podcast, in China they would have found the gene for human intelligence. So, they would be using those cells to generate embryos and thus give birth to people with high intellectual levels.

In addition to that, they would have also found a way to make babies resistant to viruses such as HIV.

“They were actually modifying babies, editing their embryos to give them resistance to HIV even today,” Lamm said in part of the interview, as reported by Daily Mail.

Colossal Biosciences sues BGI

After that, he pointed out, by name, one of the people responsible for this initiative. "The CEO of BGI (Beijing Genomics Institute), which is funded by the Chinese Communist Party, has said that they are studying human genes, they are studying what makes humans more intelligent, they do not shy away from this, this is not a conspiracy, this is very real."

The CEO of Colossal Biosciences made these remarks as a way of pointing out and brought up what happened with China during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During the pandemic they said, ‘We will do all COVID tests for free. Don’t worry, just send us your data. You want to help the world, right? We will collaborate with the World Health Organization.’ They are openly saying that we are sequencing everything we can from the global population, looking for genes for intelligence and will act accordingly,” he concluded, in what is clearly a statement that invites conspiracy.
