Mad scientists at work...

In Minnesota, pigs are being born with human blood in their veins.

In Nevada, there are sheep whose livers and hearts are largely human.

In California, mice peer from their cages with human brain cells firing inside their skulls.

"This is an area where we really need to come to a reasonable consensus," said James Battey, chairman of the National Institutes of Health's Stem Cell Task Force. "We need to establish some kind of guidelines as to what the scientific community ought to do and ought not to do."

Consensus? Guidelines on what we ought to do and ought not to do? These experiments are hideous examples of science gone awry...Frankenstein seems a benevolent man compared to people who are doing these things (and worse).

The risk [of "humanized" animals], they say, is that some human cells will find their way to the developing testes or ovaries, where they might grow into human sperm and eggs. If two such chimeras — say, mice — were to mate, a human embryo might form, trapped in a mouse.

Not everyone agrees that this would be a terrible result.

I certainly do not consider myself anti-science - as a matter of fact, I love science, but this is sick and demented.
