I tell ya, humans are going to get a lot more than Godzilla if they don't watch out.

Scientists feel that, the more humanlike the animal, the better research model it makes for testing drugs or possibly growing "spare parts," such as livers, to transplant into humans.

I think that there is a lot of truth to this. I do think that people will misread this though. It's not like we will be having these creatures walking around with a human head and animal body parts.

Just to make that point, before someone tries to use it.

Yeah, but that'd make a great movie!

Is it moral? Is it ethical? No - God created everything in perfect harmony with one another. In fact, His creation was PERFECT before Adam and Eve cursed this earth with their iniquities. With our quest for knowledge (that's what Adam and Eve wanted, wasn't it), we are only making things worse.

Christ my Father, come quickly!

True; parts from pigs are used, such as kidneys...

I wonder if they'll find a way to mess around with the genes of people who have already been born. I wanna be a chimera, dangit!

 

[The Seeker]

I don't get the problem myself, unless they intend to give the animals human intelligence, which raises a whole scope of issues, which they don't, afaik.

In the case of the mice with human brains, it would mean dooming a human life to a pitiful lifespan of 2 years or so, as well as placing it in a body in which it would be unable to either speak or use sign language, further alienating it from others.

how would we get anywhere without a desire for knowledge?
we would still be banging sticks together trying to start a fire.

Another version of the murderous atrocity of abortion.

You can live cold and ignorant in a cave if you want to, but I welcome the advance of science.

 

[meebs]

Sorry - im not a christian or religious and the idea makes me sick!

Im a big fan of nature myself. Its ok to ask what if? and learn about things and make discoveries but i do beleive in animal rights (to a point).

Best if we could find a way to grow these things in a jar not on other living creatures, i know it sounds awful, but this sounds worse than using embryos for stem cells (and i didnt think people would be this sick - though it doesnt suprise me ) and beleive me - to a point im against that.

If they could give animals a higher intellgience, this one would support it.
