China and US put aside their differences to create the first human monkey hybrid

Not the Bee, but NPR
Yeah, this is going to go well. Can’t wait until we find out that Fauci himself was directly involved with creating Covid.

For the first time, scientists have created embryos that are a mix of human and monkey cells.
The embryos, described Thursday in the journal Cell, were created in part to try to find new ways to produce organs for people who need transplants, said the international team of scientists who collaborated in the work. But the research raises a variety of concerns.
"My first question is: Why?" said Kirstin Matthews, a fellow for science and technology at Rice University's Baker Institute. "I think the public is going to be concerned, and I am as well, that we're just kind of pushing forward with science without having a proper conversation about what we should or should not do."
Still, the scientists who conducted the research, and some other bioethicists defended the experiment.
"This is one of the major problems in medicine — organ transplantation," said Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory of the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in La Jolla, Calif., and a co-author of the Cell study. "The demand for that is much higher than the supply."
"I don't see this type of research being ethically problematic," said Insoo Hyun, a bioethicist at Case Western Reserve University and Harvard University. "It's aimed at lofty humanitarian goals."
Thousands of people die every year in the United States waiting for an organ transplant, Hyun noted. So, in recent years, some researchers in the U.S. and beyond have been injecting human stem cells into sheep and pig embryos to see if they might eventually grow human organs in such animals for transplantation.
Yeah, this is going to go well. Can’t wait until we find out that Fauci himself was directly involved with creating Covid.

Is this how Planet of the Apes gets started?

Yeah.. go ahead and pass $15 dollar an hour minimum wage.

These experiments will likely give birth to the next disenfranchised group in the U.S.: Damned dirty apes.

These insane fricks are going to keep on until they wipe us all out.

I really can’t wait to realize that Alex Jones has been the only actual sane person on this planet for some time now.

The hybrid unseated Hank Johnson in the primary.

would they call that a Honkey?

That's impossible- this must be some paranews outlet like that Babylon Bee.

I would never get a dog monkey hybrid. I love my dogs but if they had opposable thumbs my refrigerator would be empty.

This is about 15+ years late. Crichton wrote extensively about it in Next, a book that is excellent, but not well known. There is a lab in Gwinnett county Georgia called the Yerkes Center that was at the forefront of this research. A family member was friends with a scientist there who swore they had completed this process several times over.

If they grow up and run for Congress the collective IQ will increase.
