ENTERING THE AGE OF THE CHIMERA…...

Does CHIMERA mean anything to anyone these days…..?  It struck fear into the human heart for a LONG time, and one hopes that it will do the same in the 21st Century!  But, apparently some of us are past that ancient fear:

On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs.

The University of Nevada-Reno researcher talks matter-of-factly about his plans to euthanize one of the pregnant sheep in a nearby lab. He can’t wait to examine the effects of the human cells he had injected into the fetus’ brain about two months ago.

“It’s mice on a large scale,“ Chamberlain says with a shrug.

READ THE REST

What type of hubris is it, when we shrug at the idea of a combination of sheep and human that is no longer an animal with a human body part engineered into it?  Rather we are “progressing” to the point that it is becoming difficult to tell whether it’s really accurate to say that the being before us is a “sheep” at all….....  A line is being crossed here—has anyone read THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH lately?
