In 2005, Scientists, headed by Dr. Irving Weissman, have injected human brain cells into mice fetuses and successfully created mice that are 1%, hoping to follow-up with an experience to produce mice with 100% human brain.
Scientists say:
*chimpanzees can created the best result, very feasible
-closely related to us
-share 98% of the human genes
-fully mature chimp = four-year-old human.
Based on the current stage of chimeric experimentation, Rifkin raised some questions:
*Can they be considered as human? A test to see if they are human enough?
*Can they have human rights?
*Are they going to be substitute for humans? To perform dangerous activities?
*Are we risking to undermine our own species "biological integrity"
*biological renaissance or self destruction?
Rifkin also asked:
*What will happen if the mice are let loose in nature?
Weissman said:
*He will keep the mice under tight control.
*If they show any humanness, he would kill him <== human is always superior, can control lives of all other beings. So......Does this mean these hybrids can never allowed to be considered as human? Even if they can think like human or act like human? Some people have pointed out that the mice experiements remind them of Pinky and the Brain.
If they can think exactly like humans and are also aware that humans have the ability to control their lives, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to revolt, or, take over the world.
Are humans suppose to, at any cost, prevent these hybrids from harming their creators?
Should these parahumans be genetically engineered to loose all ability to attack?
Should they be tamed psychologically as well as physically ?
Can they learn to live among humans?
Can they be GIVEN the opportunity to live among humans?
If their lives need to be given, are there any chance for them to be equals?
