This documentary takes the notion of Transhumanism and attempts to point out the beginnings of this movement from the start of mapping the human genome through the decades of transgenics that started with the food and drug research years with the sporadic enthusiasm of a paranoid schizophrenic. There are some compelling arguments in the documentary that can’t be ignored from the studies that show transgenics is having a negative affect not only on the natural world but also on man by creating new strains of ailments and an increase in cancers. However it only took around 30 minutes before the host of this documentary turns it into a fear inducing rhetoric based on Christian values. The subject of Transhumanism is a fascinating topic both the fantastical implications of possible benefit and the argument of detriment to the natural balance that would without doubt be compromised.
“Hybrid World” has a lot of interesting information within it and the topic is one of the hottest going around the internet conspiracy world. My only problem with this documentary is how it was represented. It tries very hard but fails at being unbiased and universally embraceable. Not everyone is Christian or a Naturalist so the argumental points used to argue against transgenics comes off as Right-Winged and abrasive. There is a specific audience that this documentary is aiming to appeal to and it is the religious, anti-Obama, liberal = evil segment of today’s society. In the beginning it is less obvious but like I said earlier within about 30 minutes the thing takes a direct and focused agenda stance that is meant to instill fear against scientific advancements. With that said this is a killer conspiracy topic and if your against manipulation of genetics or the research and development of genetics in general then this conspiracy will speak volumes to you. If you are a member of the Transhumanist movement then this will be an offense and sound like an anthem of despise.
