Jan. 5 - Researchers in Oregon have produced the world's first chimeric monkeys. Unlike naturally-conceived animals whose individual cells contain the same genetic structure, the monkeys are composed of a mixture of cells containing different genomes. Scientists have conducted research with chimeric mice for many years, but the primate model gives scientists new insight into the study of numerous diseases that affect humans. The paper was released on Thursday, January 5, in the online journal "Cell". Ben Gruber reports.

That's how it starts. Ya tinker with their genes and next thing you know you're pulling a food cart while being whipped by one of them. It's a MAD HOUSE!
I for one welcome our new Simian overlords.
Seriously though this is some scary stuff on a ethical side of things as we're basically one step closer to designer children. You could pick and choose what traits you want your child to have now and they make a DNA cocktail to meet it. Fantastic potential but higher you go farther the fall.

This is so super scary in the hands of brainwashed zombified researchers who are unconsciously working for the Evil Empire... If this is the facility in Beaverton, Oregon, they torment their primates on a daily basis to the point of prolapsed and bleeding colons... Why do they need more?

Poor little things, lost without their mum, doomed to a life of imprisonment & experimentation, not even respected as living animals in a cruel clinic.
