Human Mice!

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so." -Genesis 1:24

A genetically grown mouse with an Human Ear! This is getting freaky folks.

The Word of God tells us that God created life to reproduce "after his kind," i.e., within its own species.  God never intended for mad scientists to generate chimeras (i.e., half animal/half human mutant creatures) in labs.  Where will this tampering with life lead?  What will be the moral repercussions?  Life today has been reduced to nothing― to the point where a growing child in a mother's womb has no right to life. 

All life comes from God, and should be respected as such.  Although the idea of growing human organs in animals is challenging and revolutionary, it also violates the most basic LAWS OF NATURE which God incorporated into the universe.  To what degree does the end justify the means?  This is an important question.  If mankind has a right to produce chimeras, then to what degree does he have a right to go... 25% human? ... 50% human ... 75% human?  Man's unquenchable thirst for madness will be his eventual doom. ―by David J.

Mouse With Human Brain May Live

By Bill Christensen | February 17, 2005

 

Animals have been getting a real work-out in science lately. Methuselah mice are helping humanity with aging, pigs are trying artificial corneas and monkeys get gene manipulations that force them to work hard with no thought of reward.

Now, Stanford University has given famed researcher Irving Weissman permission to create a mouse-human hybrid. The intent is to inject human brain cells into the brains of developing mice to see what happens. The National Academy of Sciences will unveil guidelines on chimera and stem cell research this spring.

Professor Henry T. Greely, director of the Center for Law and the Biosciences and leader of the committee that considered the proposal, told the San Jose Mercury News, "We concluded that if we see any signs of human brain structures . . . or if the mouse shows human-like behaviors, like improved memory or problem-solving, it's time to stop."

This is a good idea; all students of science fiction and 1990's Saturday morning cartoons know full well what happens when mice start getting ideas:

"Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Yes, Brain, but isn't that dangerous?"

I hope, dear reader, that you will forgive me for not being able to pass that one up. Certainly, I take seriously the whole idea of such a creation, called a chimera after the lion/goat/serpent combo popularized in Greek mythology.

And, in the interests of intellectual rigor, I point out that perhaps the earliest reference to the idea that a chimera could be a product of science is that of the "monsters manufactured" in H.G. Well's 1896 novel The Island of Dr. Moreau:

"...It is not simply the outward form of an animal which I can change. The physiology, the chemical rhythm of the creature, may also be made to undergo an enduring modification,--of which vaccination and other methods of inoculation with living or dead matter are examples that will, no doubt, be familiar to you."
(read more about monsters manufactured and chimerae).

I'm not sure why scientists are fixated on the idea that small rodents can help humanity, but I've been seeing it a lot lately. Besides the Methuselah mouse example mentioned earlier, rat neurons in a dish are being taught how to fly planes; and hairless mice have been used to grow human ears:

"Can you hear me now?"

Many reports on-line are coming out about chimeric man-sheep creatures developed.

Scientists have created the world’s first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.  The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.  Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and £5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep’s fetus.

What is the promise:

He has already created a sheep liver which has a large proportion of human cells and eventually hopes to precisely match a sheep to a transplant patient, using their own stem cells to create their own flock of sheep.

The process would involve extracting stem cells from the donor’s bone marrow and injecting them into the peritoneum of a sheep’s foetus. When the lamb is born, two months later, it would have a liver, heart, lungs and brain that are partly human and available for transplant.

What many don’t realize is that chimeric, transgenic, and xenograpted human-animal research has been going on for some time.  The genetic research focuses on placing the genes of one species in the cells of another.  Xenograft research has not gotten much press.  This is what I was extensively involved in.  Here we actually graft human tissue into animals (usually mice) that lack an immune system.

My research involved grafting human ovarian tissue into immunodeficient mice and then allowing it to grow, develop, and function.  This is called a xenograft and the technique has now been developed by several groups.  The hope was to develop techniques to preserve fertility in cancer patients.  There has now been a case reported where human ovarian tissue was frozen, reimplanted (into the woman not a mouse) and resulted in a pregnancy.

The biggest controversies

1. this could potentially lead to a mouse ovulating a human egg that gets fertilized and become a person
2. there is unknown potential for interactive effects between the species
3. there is possibility for new animal viral contamination of the human cells that can be transmitted

When I did this research the animals were locked down as if they has Ebola.   Made Alcatraz look like a Holiday Inn.

The top photo is a human ear growing on the back of an immuno-deficient mouse. This is part of the emerging field of tissue engineering where human tissue and even organs are grown in lab dishes.  Read more on that subject ere: Creating tissues that can augment or replace injured, defective, or diseased body parts.

This will be every transgenic cat's dream, glow in the dark mice.  Don't think for one moment that fluorescent humans aren't around the corner, mark my words...you'll see it, along with spider humans and every other godless monstrosity of mad scientists.  Man's good intentions are often a Pandora's box.  Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Every single transgenic animal of any species born so far has had genetic defects that scientists admit they cannot predict and that seem to Tear-free transgenic cats could be 3 years away adhere to no pattern. Transgenic animals are being born with lungs that don't inflate, for example. Others can't stand up. Most—98 percent—abort their fetuses. Researchers are driven by money, not ethics. They have no idea what will happen to cats if they remove the genes that cause sneezing in people. Those genes are there for a reason, and tinkering causes physiological and immune system problems that researchers admit they can neither anticipate nor control.
