When I first heard this idea I really thought it was absurd and still do, honestly.

After briefly reading through the SC decision, it seems a major stretch from what they were discussing, which essentially was whether the company Myriad could patent cDNA which is not naturally occurring DNA, it is lab-created.

There is nothing in there at all about people being determined to be “trans human” as a result of using a patented biological product. Just because someone gets a pacemaker or an implant or gene therapy product does not make them “own-able” or “transhuman” legally, at least not by any reading of this document that I can see. A pharmaceutical company does not own people because they injest their patented products, or we would all be owned by the products we use (irony there, I know…)

So I think this a major stretch, and not one of the daily things I would be concerned about.

HOWEVER, I will issue this disclaimer. Roe v Wade already dehumanized the unborn human by allowing them to be killed by abortion, almost understood as property of the mother to be allowed to live or die at her whim. The Supreme Court ruled this nearly 50 years ago.

So that being said, we’ve already begun a descent into dehumanizing people. Depending on how the court rules on mandated injections, will show us the path they will take forward.

My two cents. Something to think about, but I don’t think this concern is necessarily one for this moment in time. If there is some other case they’ve ruled on that would give more clarity to this issue that would be interesting.

But honestly, we are all children of God with eternal souls, and his creation, and he is greater than medical procedures and injections and whatever the Supreme Court says about us.
