Now, even the \u201cgreat\u201d press has landed on the story. The news is short: a hundred or so embryo-chimeras have been created in a laboratory as a result of a cross between man and monkey. This was announced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/cell.com\/cell\/fulltext\/S0092-8674(21)00305-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical journal <em>Cell<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all came about in the face of failed attempts to create human hybrids with pigs and sheep. Twenty-five <a href=\"https:\/\/stemcell.ucla.edu\/induced-pluripotent-stem-cells\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">induced pluripotent stem cells<\/a> were thus inserted into macaque embryos, and the following day human cells were detected in 132 monkey embryos, foreshadowing a riot of future cross-breeding. Obviously, the aim is to easily produce human organs for transplantation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, there is always a \u201cgood reason\u201d behind such intentions. But if good reasons aren\u2019t enough then, obviously, you need patience. Obviously, this will stop China slaughtering thousands of innocents to feed a filthy trade in organs for transplantation, if only because the team that carried out the experiment is obviously made up mostly of Chinese scientists. Obviously, the team already says that the success of the procedure is due to the genetic proximity between man and monkey, which does not exist between man and pig or man and sheep. Because man is obviously derived from the ape, although science has obviously never proven this. And, obviously, the irony would be easy to see, if the whole thing wasn\u2019t so obviously tragic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the \u201cgood reason\u201d immediately trumps any ethical questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one is thinking of these creatures that will be grown only as a source of parts for humans, and that will be opened like a can of Simmenthal to get spare parts out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one is questioning the nature of the hybrids that are being created like little robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one wonders what they will look like, what features they will display, what humanity they will deploy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, even if they are only partly human, they will have emotions, thoughts, feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, they will have souls, because it is within the power of man to \u201cforce\u201d God to instantly create a soul the moment man procreates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one is thinking about what we\u2019ll do with the carcasses of those hybrids once we\u2019ve stripped them of their parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, there will be no cemeteries for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one will mourn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, no one is saying that the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/2698846\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marxists<\/a> and Nazis didn\u2019t dare go that far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, if that research is true, because obviously everyone remembers that the vaunted human cloning, which was allegedly carried out by South Korean veterinarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.it\/scienza\/biotech\/2014\/01\/17\/hwang-bufala-clonazione\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hwang Woo-suk between 2004 and 2005, was just a hoax laced with fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the mere idea of hybridizing man and beast to create a workshop for parts is blasphemy, actually hybridizing them is obviously double blasphemy, and obviously it would be blasphemy as well to say you have done it when it is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the few who have noticed this news have already turned the page, while the rest of the world obviously doesn\u2019t even know they are dancing on the edge of Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, we need to ask ourselves if this is the crap we want to deliver to the world tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just have to be thankful that the sky doesn\u2019t fall on our heads right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":66676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"We just have to be thankful that the sky doesn\u2019t fall on our heads right now...","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"single_blog_custom":"","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","post_reading_time_wpm":"","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":"","sponsored_post_label":"","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[805,808,695],"tags":[4207,8802,829,9935,8129],"class_list":["post-67318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreground","category-life","category-opinion","tag-bioethics","tag-bioethics-2","tag-breaking-news","tag-embrioni-chimera-2","tag-foreground"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
