This type of sh*t always gets two really strong opinions from the ones who think it's a great scientific breakthrough, and the ones against it. I'm the one who is all for science and research and development esp if it means saving lives, but ethically I'm not sure. But we obviously use animals for food and work so ethically it could be argued like that. My biggest concern tho is the unexpected issues that may rise up from two distinct life forms.

Personally, I don't think we should be genetically creating new life forms but if you look at domestic/commercial cattle, sheep, pig hybrids etc to optimize meat quality, milk quality, wool quality, yield etc - these are beneficial things and all kinds of defects, deformities and health issues have been 'bred out' over many years. So this could actually prove to be a very very useful research in the times to come. It's obviously unprecedented without a track record of success/failure like all medical procedures and testing. We'll be seeing a lot of unexpected issues. We'd have to start small, and get it tested and safety standardized. But anything involving animals always end up in a weird war between vegans and meat-eaters, and this whole aren't we playing God in this way? debate. |

A walk round a children's hospital can often change ones opinion, as can visits to a children's hospice.

Haven't we been down this road before with gene splicing. Look at john merick, and the reptile woman, n the wolfman. All freaks of nature. A lot of these hybreds ended up being locked away after the fad ad died. Because they were to hideous to be allowed to be seen and to live in public. They were, you could say the lucky ones. A awful lot were flushed down into the sewer system mostly alive and some dead.

@ shadow27 - 23.02.18 - 08:03am Old news, but I thought it was of interest: Yesterday, researchers published a paper in the journal Cell announcing that they had successfully produced the first human-pig chimeran embryo that contains cells from two genetically distinct species. The controversial study is the first step in growing human organs in non-human host animals for transplantation. According to Hannah Devlin at The Guardian, the research was led by a team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. The scientists transformed cells from an adult human into stem cells, then injected those into early-stage pig embryos. These embryos were then implanted into female pigs where they were allowed to develop for three to four weeks, what amounts to the first trimester of a pig pregnancy. |
