A human-pig hybrid embryo has been created in a world first (Tr.)

Part human, part pig embryos have been successfully created by scientists for the first time.

The embryos, that were grown inside a sow, contained a 'low' amount of human tissue.

But it is hoped one day this technique will allow whole organs in the pig to be grown of human cells, to tackle the increasing shortage of organs for transplants. The ‘chimera’, or human-animal hybrid, was created by injecting human stem cells into pig embryos and then implanting them in a sow.

The human stem cells grew and formed part of the tissue of the pig embryos, although they did not become piglets as they were removed at 28 days.

The amount of human tissue that grew in the pig embryos was ‘low’, researchers said.

To all Christians, this type of experimentation should be blasphemy of the worst kind.

Why was it that God removed man from the garden?

What is the argument using Biblical authority?

How about Genesis and the reason God removed man from the Garden..........lest they become Gods as us.

Like I said, you need to find God. You fight with someone who was answering a question.

Not to downplay the seriousness of your concern...

Some of the wilder speculation around supposed antediluvian genetic manipulation centers upon the idea that the weird mixed species “gods” of the Greeks and Hindus weren’t just mythological.

If such is possible, they probably had them, lol. The thing that hath been, is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Helping me out how? I was answering another person’s question with sincerity, and you come in with your garbage. If you don’t like the Bible, that is your choice. But I will always share what I know about it, if someone asks.

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

-

I’m not sure the above applies. It had to do with knowing good and evil due to eating from the tree of knowledge. Man was thrown out of the Garden so we would not become Gods. There is no way that can happen.

The original sin of wanting to become equal to God is ever present. Technology, like anything, can be used for evil or good.

They are very close to creating human beings and I don't think God will allow this.

It is interesting to take the seven days of creation as a type and shadow of the first seven thousand years.......Not saying it is Gospel, just very interesting exercise.

You are the one that is offended by the Bible and butt into conversation that do not apply to you.
