Chimeras-and President Bush's fear of them

Thats what I was talking about I would be totally against this being done to a baby or anyone too young to make such a important choice on their own. But if the tech exist someday to do this as a adult through gene therapy or whatever I think they should be allowed.

You do make a excellent point about concerns for the welfare and saftey of other people. You couldnt very well have someone spliced with so much animal genes that they are runnning around eating people or something.

I really more invisoning a possible future were a human can mix traits for say. Eyes that have some eagle genes for better vision or cat genes for better night vision or something. I wouldnt be against people taking it further say wanted scale green skin or something. It wouldn't be something I would want but more power to anyone that does want that.

Fair enough.

There is an actual condition called chimeraism. It's the result of two fraternal twins joining and one being absorbed by the other. The surviving twin then has two DNA types. You may get one DNA strand from semen, and a different strand from a blood test.

Heres a possible outcome thats quite fun or at least will be fun for your children/future children. The Chimera Project was a so far fictional program we discussed a while back. The pictures are cool too

Future Chimera project for pre-school

Love the pics in that thread Shadow!

fun stuff-thanks


I just honestly have to wonder...WTH they have really succededed in doing *in the dark* so to speak...and if Bush's objections are real, or a front...you know so if something goes awry he can play ignorant and say how he urged everyone to join him in opposing it...

perhaps his call for a worldwide ban through the UN was also smoke...you know...even if there was a ban, it wouldn't sltop anyone really...but perhaps he was trying to slow down the competition in the field ?

YA KNOW????

Just look at The Lord of the Flies. Poor piggy wasn't even genetically enhanced to be a pig person, he was just a person. And those damn hunters still wanted to kill him more than they wanted to kill a boar!

If it is okay to kill a pig to harvest the organ to save a human, why is it not okay to kill a human to harvest the organ to save a pig? Let's take this whole Genetic thing further!

We could have entire 'Zoos' housing certain type of Donors. Donkeys that have mouse, cat, dog, human, zebra organs. Fish that have spider, butterfly, and reindeer parts. Humans that have elephant, rhino, and whale parts.

Then we'd just kill the donors when some poor creature needed a part! Why just save humanity when we can play God and save all the world! Why just slaughter pigs and horses when we can chop up a few martyrs of our own to save some poor animals? Hell, we kill them to save us, why can't we be fair and return the favor?

Or we could take an Elephant, Rhino, Skunk and a Porcupine, mix them with a Whale and a Condor, and have an elite trainable weapon! Hell, maybe even give it shark teeth! It could be the ultimate killing weapon! Perhaps a venomous bite like a Snake? What a great destructive weapon that would be! Like when the Nazi's tried making Shark People for nautical soldiers, but way more cooler than that lame attempt!

I mean, after all, we have the Science and Technology now! Imagine all the things we can do!

Damndest thing about Pandora's Box, open it and the bi-yatch doesn't close. (Edited to slightly obscure vulgar language. Mods, feel free to edit again if need be. Sorry, got a little wired up there!)

Why would Bush fear a Pig/Man?

After all, it was Hog/Man Michael Moore that helped W win the election...

Would you not want this as a pet???



Seriously though, youve got to think, is there realllllly that much point of making human mouse hybrids or whatever. Is it REAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY that important? It just seems that, they have one perfectly good method to say, produce new organs for people, but since thy have the technology at their disposal, they cant resist doing it because they can.

I remember reading on this site about a year ago that animals of Cloven hoof such as pigs and cows where supposedly geneticall engineered from Humans and wild Boar by Atlanteans!
Hence the Jewish faith not wanting to participate in pork (cloven hoof)

This would clearly make cloning and using pigs livers/kidneys in transplants a reality.

OMG Shadow that picture stood out at me on the other thread-that is just wicked!



I don't know...I don't think the vast potential of human-animal hybrid was every just about organs...ever...so the whole human-brain in mice thing is an extention of where else can this science

I want to know where it has gone already...

I for one want this to happen! I think it would be great and interesting. Expect other countries to be working with this very intensely. USA are too, Bush being restrictive and negative about it is just a charade for the rest of the world, to gain any kind of advantage possible. Knowledge is power, you know they are experimenting with free hands behind closed doors to learn what potentials this science has. I see nothing wrong with it as long as you treat these creatures with respect. It's basically a necessary bad science that has to be explored sooner or later anyway and I think Bush understands this very well.

I am so glad Bush is going........that way hopefully you can get a decent president.

I Remember posting a threadon human/animal hyrbrids awhile back, i heard it just as a rumour. Its nice to see that another person has posted something on this subject cause i have been lokking for information on this, of you could tell me the website/book u read this in that would be great.

Thank ya

No, Cman you aren't nuts....but that name is-I laugh when I say it in my head. Sorry

Anyway, i'ts been sucessfully going on for some times now and we are getting exposed gently to test the waters every now and again from the medical science angle...but it's not often readily embraced yet usually.

Heck even the preseident is oppossing it (perhaps a facade)

anyway, for starters you can read the Washington post article-did you click on the first link in my opening post for this thread? Try that then just google or do a chimera search and you should find plenty...let me see if I still have any other links lingering around you might be interested in...

try this

and this...

thats all I really have off hand but theres stuff out there for years now. check it out and let me know if you find anything really cool
