Members beameup Posted February 7, 2016 Members Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Scientists are now breathing life into the concept of chimeras by creating organisms containing the cells of humans and animals. Several teams in the US are inserting human tissue into early pig and sheep embryos. The journal MIT Technology Review estimates that 20 such hybrid embryos have been produced, an early proof-of-principle step towards growing human organs inside animal tissue. The hybrid embryos have been observed in early development but, crucially, are never brought to term. The Salk Institute in California, together with the universities of Stanford and Minnesota, are among the institutions pioneering the as-yet-unpublished research. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/0e5b229c-bb8a-11e5-b151-8e15c9a029fb.html#axzz3zOfCMpDb For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Members John Young Posted August 4, 2016 Members Share Posted August 4, 2016 The research is not as nefarious as the hype makes it sound. The goal is to make animals who have organs which can be used in transplants to people with less chance of being rejected. Obviously any human embryo testing and manipulation is wrong and should not be done but much research to make animal organs genetically compatible with humans is not done with human embryos.
