The Making of A Brave New World

Recent developments have made me realize how much closer we are to the vision of Aldous Huxely in the "Brave New World".  Consider:

Wireless recording of neural activity with ultrasound Implanted devices that record neural activity in model organisms such as rats ideally should be as small as possible, remotely powered and able to transduce information wirelessly.  See please:

We also have the news of an artificial womb that successfully grew lambs; which makes me think that humans (and-sub-humans) could be next:

Furthermore, with the developments in gene editing of human embryos, see, as examples,

and (the little case of 3-parent baby) http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/27/health/3-parent-baby/index.html

and, (even more broadly) the creation of human chimeras - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)

I should think that we could be only a few decades away from the creation of sub-human species for performing dangerous jobs such as mining, as well for supplying Flesh Pots all over the world.

Aldous Huxley was an optimist.
