Pig Monkey Chimeras Born in China in a World First

Check this out, ATS. Scientists in China have created Monkey-Pig chimeras in a lab. This is supposedly being done as a boost for the organ harvesting market where thousands of people are on waiting lists for organ transplants,

Chimeras are organisms made of cells from two genetically distinct individuals—normally two different species. The word comes from Greek mythology, with Chimera being a fire-breathing creature composed of a lion, goat and serpent.

According to New Scientist, which first reported the chimeras, the team genetically modified monkey cells growing in culture. By doing this, the monkey cells produced a fluorescent protein that meant they could be tracked after being implanted in the pig embryos. The team derived stem cells from these then inserted them into 4,000 embryos, which were subsequently implanted into sows. Of all these embryos, ten piglets were born, two of which were pig-monkey chimeras.

"This is the first report of full-term pig-monkey chimeras," Tang Hai, one of the study authors, told New Scientist. Further research showed the chimeras had monkey cells in a range of organs, including the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and skin. These were at very low levels, with monkey cell ratios between 0.001–0.0001 among different tissues. Monkey cells were not found in the testis and ovaries, they added.

There were 2 Chimeras born but they only lived only about a week according to the article. Another article on this subject mentions possible human/chimp chimeras.......Is this even ethical? Sure, it can be done, but just because it can be done that doesn't mean it should be done. Right? What says ATS?

This ATS'er says no, its not right. It's not ethical.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Just NO

If they would invent a pig-chicken chimera, I'd slap it on my BBQ and scream "get in my belly!"

A star for the laugh!

China is the most dangerous country in the world, also probably the most dangerous country to the human race.

But, lets not dwell(or even talk about that), lets dig up cold war defeated boogeyman like russia and go all orange man bad on it.

The reason they don't live...? Reminds me of Robocop where the reanimated part human, part robots went insane. It's not natural, and it wont work.

Monkey/Pig vs. Spider/Goat

I’m sure it’s being done already. Whatever you can imagine. If I was a billionaire I’d have secret labs creating monstrosities and then when they’re perfected I’d unleash them on the world in different places.

I should never have money.

A fetus was left behind in a cattle mutilation in New Mexico as well. It’s probably been going on for a long time.

A former New Mexico State Police trooper, the late Gabe Valdez, documented unexplained cattle mutilations in the area in the mid-1970s, boosting speculation of alien activity.

But the evidence left behind didn’t come from outer space, Valdez said in different interviews. “The evidence that was left there, you know, predators don’t leave gas masks, glow sticks, radar chaff. They don’t leave that stuff. They don’t have vitamin B-12,” Valdez said in a radio interview.

In an interview with the History Channel’s UFO Hunters, Valdez said the most anomalous evidence he came across while investigating cattle mutilations happened about 40 miles east of Dulce. “We could tell where the aircraft came through,” Valdez said. “They didn’t do the whole process, and they left a fetus inside the animal.” “A fetus? A cow fetus,” UFO researcher Pat Uskert asked Valdez. “No,” Valdez replied. “It looked like a human, a monkey and a frog. It didn’t have any bones in the head. It was all full of water.”

When asked if he was implying that the cow was being used as an “incubation chamber for a cloned creature,” Valdez said that’s “exactly” what he was saying.

Jesus H Christ. NO

Looks like we are close on entering that world of beyond good and evil. The creation of furry mixed human inhuman creatures.

Its only matter of time now.

Wait til they mix a man with a gorilla. That thing will rip somebody's
head off.

What in the name of Hades is that thing?? That seriously freaks the bejeezus outta me.... I just hope that for the brief moment that poor little critter carried the spark of life that it wasn't suffering, otherwise those responsible deserve whatever hideously ironic karmic payback that's awaiting then on their last pungent breath....

Al Gore warned us about manbearpig.

THIS is how you get a manbearpig.

As in the days of Noah

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.'

If you do a reverse image search, that only links up to anti- evolution websites, so take that photo with a grain of salt... ...and maybe some pepper.

Yeah, but they make it possible to get a HDTV for $250!

I am concerned the end result will a deadly plague . Mixing human, dna with anything else could provide a pathway for a virus to mutate, much like swine flu.

That creature is ugly and not edible. It could be smart and evil and conquer the world one day.
