The lab-born primate, developed by Chinese scientists, made history as the world’s first live-born “chimeric” monkey. And: he glowed! Green!
Intensely fucked up.
Ya I do have trouble with experimentation like this.
Sure, you made his skin glow green, but maybe it burns like fire 24/7 and you’ll never know since it can’t tell you.
ITT: people not reading a single line of the article
It’s great that peak scientific minds are trying to create green, glowing monkeys. It’s not like humanity is bothered by plethora of problems. Let’s chill and torture some monkeys instead.
Yeah they just doing this for no reason /s.
Did you even read the article?
Did you? It says that it at one point MIGHT be useful to chimerize the monkeys to research neurodegenrative diseases. Making it glowing was just to make shit easier for them, not for any scientific purposes.
And yeah, I get it, scientific breakthrough comes with a cost, but there’s reason why primates are not generally getting chimerized…
You probably fail to understand that the end goal is not to make green glowing monkeys for shits and giggles.
Why not link to the original article that piece quotes https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/chimeric-monkey-china-birth-cell-b2445058.html
I link to articles I’ve actually read. I didn’t read that one because I read this one, so I didn’t link to it. That’s why.
Fair enough. The original is a bit more informative than the re-write, I think.
This is like how in Boku no Hero Academia where the first quirk was a baby that was born emitting light
