Scientists at the Oregon National Primate Research Centre produced the animals, known as chimeras, by sticking together between three and six rhesus monkey embryos in the early stages of their development. I thought this was impossible, mixing different gene types and producing life, even thought they were all primate genes. This is a really big step in science, and hopefully one we get to really explore. There's just too much knowledge to pass up. | ||

![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/southpark/images/1/1e/4assed_monkey.gif) Okay now that thats out of the way.. what the hell man lol. Point of order- they're all rhesus monkies so they aren't actually chimeras. Amazing none the less. | ||

Ok, more serious: This is great! I hope scientists all over the world really get to explore the possibilities this opens up. | ||

It's good advancement, but we'll have to ask the question of how ethical this is every step of the way. | ||

If I had the power to unethically forge creatures together I would definitely get a bird with 4 heads just so they never stop chirping. It's good advancement, but we'll have to ask the question of how ethical this is every step of the way. How could this be unethical they are animals, unless they stared doing it to humans, which I highly doubt will happen. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/saro/flymonkeys/monkeyl.gif) I'm not really sure what the use of this is tbh, they say it has 'huge implications for science' and then don't elaborate. I bet i'm not going to benefit from this in my lifetime for sure... | ||
