Creating 'human-animals' for research

[Cookiebaker]

I find this very disturbing. Why are scientists trying to be God????

I agree. Why? Jobs for the boys, vested interests blah blah blah. It should all be banned. Who are we humans to "use" animals in this way?- but don't get me started. I hope they DO create a monster one day, that turns on them and wipes them out.

VERY disturbing indeed!!! I agree with TopCat3.

"I hope they DO create a monster one day, that turns on them and wipes them out."

of course it'd turn on them, as everything else does when they want to be God :rolleyes:

my concern is "it" escaping because the idiots behind it have pissed their pants running.

That's wrong on so many levels. :(

A majority of people who think this is wrong concentrate, sometimes subconsciously, on their need to think that humans are superiorand that human parts can't or shouldn't be grown in animals. Very few think that the unethical part has to do with the inhumane testing on animals. Fewer argue about playing god, which can also be tied into the first arguement more often than not. I think that this testing, if done in humane ways that didn't hurt the animals, would be perfectly ethical and acceptable. It helps to illustrate the shrinking gap between the human and animal world and makes some peope realize that we aren't so diffrent to begin with.
