"It's happening this second. Scientists are re-imagining and re-engineering the world forever. With brutal honesty and engaging story-telling, Michael Guillen gives us a clear-eyed look at a future that is already here. Consider this unsettling, brilliantly written, must-read book your official wake up call." -- ERIC METAXAS, #1 national bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy

"Michael Guillen has tackled an important subject in The End of Life as We Know It... This book is a sobering look at where we could be headed. A fascinating read." -- DAVID LIMBAUGH, bestselling author of Jesus is Risen and The True Jesus

In all aspects of life, humans are crossing lines of no return.

Modern science is leading us into vast uncharted territory—far beyond the invention of nuclear weapons or taking us to the moon.Today, in labs all over the world, scientists are performing experiments that threaten to fundamentally alter the practical character and ethical color of our everyday lives.

In The End of Life as We Know It: Ominous News from the Frontiers of Science, bestselling author and Emmy award winning science journalist Michael Guillen takes a penetrating look at how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality, including:

• Scientists who detached the head of a Russian man from his crippled, diseased body, and stitching it onto a healthy new donated body.

• Fertility experiments aimed at allowing designer babies to be conceived with the DNA from three or more biological parents.

• The unprecedented politicization of science – for example, in the global discussion about climate change that is pitting “deniers” against “alarmists” and inspiring Draconian legislation, censorship, and legal prosecutions.

• The integration of Artificial Intelligence into communications and the economy.

The End of Life as We Know It takes us into labratories and boardrooms where these troubling advances are taking place and asks the question no scientists seem to be asking:

What does this mean for the future of humanity?

This book should be in every household

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2018

This book is downright scary! But it needs to be read. In fact, if there is one book in America right now that should be required reading -- as we press the pedal to the metal in this mad dash of technological insanity -- it is Guillen's. He is not a fear-monger. He simply presents facts and adds a few insights and opinions and he has the credentials to be listened to. It is a very readable book and it needs to be read.

Your head will be spinning, but you MUST read this brilliant description of what the quite nearby future holds for us, our children and our grandchildren. Dr. Guillen holds PHD's in Math, Astronomy and Physics, and is a well known public figure. No sensationalism here, just the facts. It is so thoroughly researched and referenced it should be used in high school and college STEM classes, yet Dr. Guillen writes with beautiful clarity for the non science oriented, average person as well.
I bought four more copies for Christmas presents.

Not what I thought....

When I reviewed this for purchase, I was thinking that it was science based. However, I found it mostly to be opinions and information from the author that was already known. In addition, the references were all Web sites and not credible sources. ...very disappointing.

A book of wisdom and knowledge that many will not care to understand what is controversial about our world.

Whatever controls your thoughts owns us .Let mankind understand that these times are full of power hungry people who use technology to advance their agendas , Wake up and get wisdom above all things as it can guide us safely thru today’s world . Great book .

Most people either uncritically accept whatever changes technology brings, or else they vehemently oppose those changes. This book falls in neither camp. It will make you think about the future, and your future within the new world.
