For the first time, scientists have produced monkeys composed of cells taken from separate embryos.
The animals were born after researchers combined cells from different embryos and implanted them into female monkeys.
Such animals, which contain genetically distinct groups of cells from more than one organism, are called "chimeras".
Chimeras are important for studying embryonic development, but research has largely been restricted to mice.
The rhesus monkeys, which are normal and healthy, are made up of a mixture of cells representing as many as six distinct individuals.
"The cells never fuse, but they stay together and work together to form tissues and organs," said co-author Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, US.

and if scientists can Create life Unaturaly, as u say. then it stands to say, Humanz were Created Unaturaly as well,

See how they want to cling to the lab technician and how she keeps pushing them away? These monkeys will never have a mother or comfort or nurse from a titty. They will grow up as nothing more than an experiment to be oogled. I can't think of a better life for little rats like these. All monkeys should either be dead or tortured and I want to watch.

We are witnessing science illuminating all of the areas where religious superstitions still thrive. Pretty soon science will make them selves a Jesus Christ out of cells from dogshit. Then we can clone Jesus Christ and use it to do experiments on in the name of medicine. Maybe for once Jesus Christ wont be used for death, killing, murder, rape, child rape, war and Human tyranny and oppression. Good job scientists. Lets grind religion to dust with knowledge.
