I’m not too keen on the human/sheep mixture, but imagine a half human half fish, mermaids would finally become real!

If they’re going to do it, I hope they do it right. A woman’s legs with a fishes head? Not liking that so much…

Thank you, thank you and thank you for posting this. You’ve written down things that I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

No problem. I find the whole thing horrific. I find it encouraging to know I’m not alone, too.

This is similar to a conversation I had with Moo the other night. She is doing an assignment at school about IVF and when society should say no. Then it evolved into this. Seems we have a similar stance, while research is wonderful, where do we draw the line?

I hate to say it, but I don’t think they ever will draw a line.

What confuses me most is that they don’t experiment on people with the condition they’re trying to treat. Surely you’re going to get more accurate results if you work directly with the problem, that with something that has little relation to the problem?

Kelleys last blog post..Damn. I wasted my wishes.

I’ve seen many journalists (at least in my country) supporting such experiments enthusiastically. In their articles they always take advantage of that type of emotional blackmailing you’ve mentioned. Therefore, the press coverage hasn’t been impartial as it is supposed to be. I guess many people over here think that the only right way to view these subjects is agreeing with everything scientists want to do. If you ask people to consider the possibility that the outcome of such researches may not be so positive, you’re labeled as “narrow-minded,” “selfish,” “insensitive” or something worse.

Your post — and the comments above — made me sigh in relief because now I realise I’m not alone in my concerns.

Animal and human DNA mixing seems like it could have similar results.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Scientists seem to get so excited by a new idea that they don’t stop to consider the repercussions. As long as it works, that’s all they care about. They said Thalidomide was safe…

I reckon it’s a case of softly softly catch-ee monkey. “They” bring in all these new changes a bit at a time to get people used to them.

I also live in Hawaii. Here in the islands they have tried experiments like bringing in mongoose to control the rat population. The results was the mongoose don’t eat rats and they do eat the native ground nesting bird’s eggs. So, now we have lost our native birds, still have rats and in addition have LOTS of mongoose.

Animal and human DNA mixing seems like it could have similar results.

I don’t think the research will stop here either. I find it incredibly frightening as well.

I’m sure there must be some other way to help combat diseases like this. Some other less invasive, more natural way.
