‘Super Soldiers’: The Quest for the Ultimate Human Killing Machine
November 17th, 2011Via: Independent:
The era of The Terminator, the perfect robotic killing machine, is decades away; to date, all efforts to create a humanoid robot that can climb the stairs, let alone fight the Taliban, have been risible. But scientists are reporting breakthroughs with the next-best thing – the creation of human terminators, who feel less pain, less terror and less fatigue than “non-enhanced” soldiers and whose very bodies may be augmented by powerful machines.
Efforts to understand the brain of the soldier and put this knowledge to good use have been going on for some time. Professor Jonathan Moreno, a bioethicist at Pennsylvania State University, studies the way neuroscience is being co-opted by the military. “Right now, this is the fastest-growing area of science,” he says.

I couldn’t help thinking of the ancient Norse “berserkers”:

Hapless Contestant: “…I’ll take Conspiracy Theories for five-hundred, Alex…”
BOOP!
Alex Trebeck: “…you’ve selected one of today’s Daily Doubles…”
HC: “Alright!”
AT: “Governments of the world have been producing mentally-conditioned subjects for use in overt & covert operations since as early as the 1950’s. The different roles programmed into he subjects ‘alters’ are designated by letters of the Greek alphabet, and this one is understood to be the assassin & state security model…”
HC: “What is Delta?”
AT: “That’s right and that’s worth a thousand dollars, putting you even further ahead of the other hapless contestants to both your left and your right…”
i assume this is not refrencing the mk ultra courtcase regarding neuro/glandular implants in veterans? just hypnotism or pharmaceuticals and such?
