Thats a very interesting article- but I'm rather uncomfortable about the idea of cross breeding animals and humans.

The idea of producing human organs in animals for transplants sounds plausible, but the human/animal cross breeding can be very problematic.

I think sciences nowadays should be spent on finding cures and figuring out on how to cure or treat viruses like AIDS or something. Sciences shouldn't be wasted on useless experiments lke "human/chimp hybrids" use the science for something the economy could use.

To paraphrase Dr. Daniel Jackson of Stargate: The question of whether we can do a thing is less important than whether we should do a thing. Even the armed forces now teach ethics as part of their leadership training. S
