2 chapters across the catalog

Jason Bermas takes over the broadcast to discuss the recent transplant of a genetically modified pig kidney into a human patient. He focuses on Martine Rothblatt, the CEO of United Therapeutics, and her ties to the transhumanist movement. Bermas argues that while the technology is sold as life-saving, it is part of a broader "post-humanist" agenda.

Martine Rothblatt's company, United Therapeutics, recently achieved a milestone with the first successful transplant of a genetically modified pig kidney into a living human. This field, known as xenotransplantation, is part of a broader quest for biological immortality. Rothblatt also promotes "Terasem," a religion based on transhumanism that involves creating "digital doppelgangers" to preserve consciousness in the cloud.
