I'm not a scientist, but my analysis of this article can only lead to the conclusion that this technology (knowledge, if you will) will someday lead to chimps that can talk. Imagine it, a world with chimps and humans living and working side-by-side.

This gene therapy will certainly be the nightmare of this upcoming century. If you thought the atom was a bad can o' worms to open, dear goodness, dna & gene research is way way way mo' bad. At least atomic research took a multi-billion dollar investment by a country - to do dna hacking only requires the tech and a small lab. Bad bad bad stuff ahead (next 50 years).

I work with scientists in this field. A 12% difference in the genome is huge when it comes to how the genes are expressed.

The genetic code has turned out to be far more complex than just one gene-one protein.

Chimps are not near-humans.

methinks that something very, very, very bad
this way is coming

Talking chimps won't be so bad. Can't be any worse than talking RATS.

Gene therapy gone wild!

Do you think we will someday be able to make orangutans talk also?
