I find it fascinating but at the same time a little scary. I'm not sure how far long some of the speculation is, but even so. Animal-human hybrids that they are calling Chimeras.

I'm for stem-cell research, but this is just irreverent to nature.
Now we really are, as a race, playing god. _____________________

Oh pish posh, we are not doing ANYTHING wrong until we create a new species that we force into servitude for a few centries, then they evolve and rebel, then we get wiped out. Afterwords the last survivors damn us for being the archetect for our own destruction. ....dont you people rent DVDs? |

What is it you think humans are anyway? Oh wait, Sumerian beliefs went out of fashion a few thousand years ago didn't they?
 Wake me when they figure out how to make changelings or clone "blanks". _____________________
