Super Soldiers.
China has done human testing to create biologically enhanced
super soldiers, says top U.S. official: "U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted "human testing" on members of the People's Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with "biologically enhanced capabilities," the top U.S. intelligence official said Friday. John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, included the explosive claim in a long Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he made the case that China poses the pre-eminent national security threat to the U.S. "There are no ethical boundaries to Beijing's pursuit of power," wrote Ratcliffe, a Republican former member of Congress from Texas."

The approval allows for medical advancements like prosthetics and implants, as well as tracking and connectivity technology. It seems the French army still needs to operate within the boundaries of ethical human experimentation following the approval, as the country seeks “’operational superiority of its armed forces in a challenging strategic context’ while respecting the rules governing the military, humanitarian law and the ‘fundamental values of our society.’” Any “invasive” advancements that may affect the “humanity” of the soldier— like cognitive implants—will be forbidden, per the 18-person defense ethics committee that was formed in 2018."
