Scientists Create First Human-Pig Chimera In The Lab

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Researchers hope to overcome the problem of organ shortages for transplantation by growing spare human organs in other animals. 

A group led by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has taken the first  step toward making this a reality. On January 26, 2017, they announced having grown the first human-pig chimeric embryos in the lab.

While the ultimate goal of producing organs for transplantation still seems to be in the distant future, ethical questions are still an issue. How many cells do you need for a chimera to be considered more human than pig? Does it matter what kind of cells,  what kind of tissues?

      Instead of creating healthy sustainable environments for mankind these scientists ( satanists) are more concerned with tinkering with gods work for notoriety and profit. At the end of the day even if their endevors are successful the patient will still have fork up extortionate amounts of money in order to receive an organ replacement which will only make the treatment accessible to the wealthy. War and poverty are the biggest killers of mankind but I don’t see millions going into research to curb that problem and such visionaries are usually ridiculed and ignored. We create health problems by legalizing things like alcohol and cigarettes, genetically engineered foods and foods that contain poisons like Aspartame. We put sodium fluoride ( rat poison) in tap water and Mercury in vaccines so what is the point of creating chimeras for medical purposes? This is just a scheme to keep scientists paid. The horse bolted a long time ago it’s a bit late to be closing the gate with this ethically dodgy science now. Stop war and poverty, create healthy environments and free energy, heal people with plants and herbs the most ancient and safest medicine of all and stop trying to play God with the limited knowledge that we have.

      This is insanity and the pain and suffering of the experiments is heart breaking and I’d even say it’s murder to kill these poor things to rip out their organs, if their telling us this now I’d say their a lot more advanced in this sick practice and I’d be more than happy to see them sicko’s hang.

        Yes, it is really beyond disgusting.

      Maybe the first official human/pig chimera, but what they’ve already done in reality would probably make your skin crawl.

      This story is factually incorrect. We have had Rosie O’Donnell around for about 50 years now. :wink:

        “Island of Dr. Moreau – HG Wells”

        It’s happened in human history and resulted in Biblical cataclysms.

      As a matter of Murphy’s law, whenever questions are raised about human rights, the change agent is usually an organ of the state and usually lowers the bar for everyone, equally. They will not be determining any differences, between a human, a harvestable sack of tissues, or a pig.
