Um....we already have Rosie O’Donnell
Man was created by God in His Image. (Even His only Son assumed that image). That means that Man ranks high above anything God created.(he even declares us to be his children)
Christian logic tells me that HE is not pleased with anyone messing with the DNA of his children.
I do not claim to be very smart but I want you to refute my logic, also based on biblical authority, please.
Exactly. They’re meddling with things they cannot comprehend.
Cells are sorta like BAGS. The bags have recognition RECEPTORS on the outside, like door keys. When the proper lock brushes up against the proper key, the cell will open or do special stuff.
This system is so your cells can recognize what is YOU, and what is NOT you, part of your immune system.
Pig cells are like bags coated with pig KEYS, and when human cells with human locks bump up against them, there’s a mismatch “Get rid of this NOT YOU stuff...!”
So the human rejects the pig heart, see?
What they’re doing is changing the pig in juuuuuust such a slight way that the pig cells present with HUMAN keys on their outsides:
Pig heart into human, human cells bump up against special PIG heart, “Hey that MATCHES me..! I won’t reject that...”
They are NOT making pigs with human faces, not by a verrrrrrry wide margin.
This fear I see here is like, “The Wright Brothers are DEVILS trying to make manking fly as high as The Heavens..!”
It’s just silly, and I’m pretty religious.
How far behind can ManBearPig be?
Tee Horror!
"Our easy-to-use, optimized and validated solutions span the entire cell engineering workflow, making genome editing accessible to anyone at any level."
I mean- that doesn't make you want to puke??
The modified pigs:
1. appear EXACTLY like ordinary pigs
2. behave EXACTLY like ordinary pigs
3. are not suffering at all
The research is so we don’t have to rely on DEAD people for organs, see..?
This has nothing to do with making humans who will naturally want to dig with their noses, etc.
Alex Jones is a freaking CLOWN, and stop listening to kooks.
What they are doing here is growing human stem cells inside fetal pigs.
There is no crossing of genetic information at all.
When MIKE is born, we’ll sequence his genome.
Lessay we find out this baby has coding associated with heart failure. It won’t fail until he’s 30, but it will fail.
So when he’s 20, we buy a pig with humanized epitopes that will give a tissue match for Mike in 10 years.
And lo and behold, when Mike’s heart starts FAILING, there’s already this great Pig, all fattened up, ready for slaughter, and GUESS WHAT..?! We take his heart, right after he dies, maybe in the pen behind the hospital.
And what we have is..
1. Mike healthy
2. Happy Mike family
3. Bacon
It’s a beautiful thing, and ya know what? If WE don’t do it, China will have NO compunction at all about stepping into the gap AND ALSO doing about 1,000 bad things also.
I told you, man has dominion over God’s creation and is tasked with using it to glorify God. This includes making the lives of people on Earth better, saving lives and relieving suffering.
We have used our dominion combined with our rationality given us by God (one of the characteristics of being created in God’s image) to better our condition on Earth using science, medicine, agriculture, industry etc....
The problem you have is the lie and distortion that some sort of man-pig is being made or meant to be made.
I am sure you understand how the media distorts things about Trump and conservatives. They also do it in other topics also.
Currently people are having lives saved and being kept alive in healthy normal lives by transplants which use pig tissues, mainly heart valves.
It works well and has benefitted many people. But rejection is an issue. Studies like this are meant to be able to lessen the chance of rejection.
I am addressing this field of study and it’s validity and importance and it’s tradition in a long line of western Christian advances in medicine.
In this field, some use aborted fetal tissue, which I do not condone and that does not apply to the above comments.
I suggest you don’t tell anyone that the bacon you’re selling is from a human-pig hybrid, if you actually expect to sell it.
Oh, we read the article just fine, thanks.
How? The world is a big place.
I would absolutely eat it, but I understand why others wouldn’t and I don’t believe such pork would or will ever be sold, for regulatory reasons.
Based purely on article title alone...
These so-called scientist: need to be stood up against a wall and shot!
There is something seriously wrong with this shit!
