Take forewarning when someone names themselves after Leviathan .


The article says: "Researchers in the US are creating half-human, half-animal embryos to help save lives, particularly people with a wide range of ailments. The embryos create better animal models to study the occurrence of human diseases and its progression.

One of the aims of the experiment using chimeras is to create farm animals with human organs. The body parts could then be harvested and transplanted into very sick people, reports Boisestatepublicradio."


When man starts to think they can play god out of medical necessity it is only a matter of time before the necessity to be god comes next.

Why should someone be warned by a company calling themselves after one of the greatest creations of your god?

Um last time I checked humans are 100% Animal.

It's not a Genetic Chimera either, They're putting Human Stem Cells in a pig embryo that has no genes for growing a pancreas.

Seriously, Leviathans, Chimeras - why can't we have these things without the references to mythological world-killing creatures

It's pretty poor journalism to call this "half-human." I expect more from the IB Times. Replacing the gene that grows the pig's pancreas is hardly cause for alarm, much less a half-human creature.

Lol we're getting closer and closer to making manbearpig a reality.

Regardless, good click bait material.

You'd have to talk to those who were reported in the article and used the word, Chimera.
Leviathan was a reference to the anagram of someone's name here.

Given this is a Bible believing community, and their faith label, it becomes obvious their purposes for being here once they give it a name. Well played? Not really.

Are click baiting threads something common here?

Oh yes, let's stop using medical science... it's much better to not play God so we can all die in our 50s from diseases and ailments that could have been prevented.

Like God intended.

*waves* I have been using that nickname for years before I joined this site. It's the name of my first roleplaying character (a priestess of the goddess of water).

But kudos for being the first to notice it. I still don't understand what my purpose my nickname reveals. I mean, many christians on here have some variation of "god is awesome" as their nickname. That's just boring.
