Human gene into monkey would only dumb down the monkey.

If Journals would refuse to publish this crap, it wouldn't be happening. Science is now inundated with fame-seeking wannabes who want to be ‘the first’ to do ‘something cool’. I'm very serious. It's a mentality that has permeated science.

I was speaking with a visiting colleague at one point, who was the editor of a big journal at that time, and I showed him some data. His response was ‘that's really interesting, but if you want to get it published in a major journal you need to come up with a cool story to go along with it, or some mechanism’.

To me, that's ridiculous. The data are what the data are. Scientists should strive to test hypotheses, with an emphasis on disproving their hypothesis, and their biggest efforts should be on accuracy and having proper controls. If the data do lead to a significant new mechanistic understanding, then that's great - but don't make one up to fit your data just so you can get it published in a more highly cited journal.

With the right genes, Americans could soon have a house-cleaner and lawn maintenance guy—for peanuts.

China is very much into eugenics.

These experiments are designed so they can breed 180 IQ humans on a mass scale and thus dominate the world.

Mind you, they will be dominated themselves, but anything for Mother China.

I don’t get to LOL at much these days but that there is funny!

[DariusBane]

What could possibly go wrong?

180 IQ humans, smart monkeys, advanced robots. Looks like we have some rough sailing ahead.

A chimp is a great ape, not a monkey...

[Paul R.]

Wait a minute. If we (humans) are going to do this (very questionable ethics at best), should not the test subjects be lib politicians...?

Days of Noah...

[AppyPappy]

Yep. Next thing you know, a bunch of damn dirty apes
