America’s Test Dummies

Introduction

In the past five years we’ve seen many, and I mean many unprecedented events and choices being made especially when it comes to that related to our bodies. It seems as if since trumps’ inaugural tenure in office (being 2020/ a little over 5 years ago) that the care for quality of life has significantly decreased. Which to me feels like an eventual progression into the development of genetic/bodily augments to improve one’s health.

My Body, Your Rights?

This trend started with the overturning of roe v wade, where we saw the erasure of protection of abortion rights, spurred by a republican regime that often cited religion and cruelty as justification for said decision. Taking one’s autonomy over their own body even when it risks their life. Furthermore many call them out on hypocrisy on said decision as following this there was a shocking lack of care for parents and/or children through the policies they push. Whether it be defunding the department of education or not working to reform the foster care system, two sectors that could become notable/far more severe issues for our country in the future.

Pay or Die

The stricter eligibility rules on healthcare also showcase this, watching as affordable treatment is becoming a mere myth. Negative sentiments on this development can be represented by the Luigi Mangione case, where a man killed a healthcare CEO in broad daylight for similar reasons. It seems as if the country is going backwards when it comes to health and pharmacy, almost as if they’re trying to kill off the less fortunate.

The Downwards Pyramid

My final and most recent example is the hiring of RFK as the secretary of health and human services, who has repeatedly touted seemingly nonsensical claims about the health of Americans and what we need to do to fix those issues, such as his reformed food pyramid that emphasizes meats and dairy which were limited previously due to how much fat they contain.

Conclusion

Clearly all of these examples are political as we see their causes being the upper echelon and or the politicians we have in office, with their chaotic policies and use of power when it comes to influencing how we can use and in theory “should” use our bodies. Furthermore this ties back to Elon Musk and his venture into the world of brain chips. If left unchecked these cyberpunk life forms could become very much real.

This progression of events to me will become a large reason for our species integration with technology. Eventually people will become so unhealthy that it will be necessary for survival and success in everyday life, a dependency that will control our entire lives. They’re looking to use us citizens as lab rats for early body augmentation, and this is the first phase, breaking us down so that it’s needed.
