thats insane.
I just completed watching, Full Metal Alchemist (Japanese Anime) and they had Chimeras in it. I thought it was just an 'anime' thing, pretty scary, but now real life? That's buggered...Comment

What caught my attention most, for arbitrary reasons, was the measures taken when one of these hybrid animals starts to exhibit human characteristics or such; specifically that they are/would be exterminated. The reasoning is understandable, but no less disturbing.“And, remember: there's no 'I' in 'irony'†~ Merlin MannComment

Just the fact that they would think it necessary to set such a policy starts alarm bells ringing to me.

A much more prudent policy would be to immediately exterminate the sickos who would mess around with life like this.Originally posted by Dr MordridComment

The beneficial effect from this would be growing genetically compatable transaplant organs in animals, but since there is also research into growing organs in culture I'd rather not go down this particular slippery slope unless culturing doesn't pan out.
Even then there are problems in that this tech could be horribly abused.

I heard of a neat use of this tech. They've inserted certain spider genes into goats, so now the goats produce large quantities of spider silk in their milk. Freaky, but cool.
I can see how it could be abused, but there could certainly be some benefits as well.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards.

Does no one here remember a 50s movie called Tarantula??
Some mad scientist gets the mix wrong and we have goat-sized brown recluses wandering the countryside..
Breeding is a more-or-less natural thing, but deliberately twisting a living thing's genetic structure like this seems inherently wicked to me, particularly because the motive is greed.Comment
