The prospect of an interbred species of Apes and Pigs is only slightly less scarey than the Rat-Spiders. Maybe the Rat-Spiders are breeding them…
Sorry, I’m back in the real world again now.
All this raises the age old debate of where do advances in medical issues take us? And what should be the ethical stand point on such matters?
Is this related to this topic? I think yes, but in a vague attempt at practicing what I rant, I feel a new thread coming on.
(Dunno how to link to a new thread yet… Would one of you lovely Mods be so kind as to help out here please? Thanks)
Back on topic tho… I honestly don’t think it will be too long before we get vat grown organs. Genetics and suchlike are so advanced these days that I believe it is only a matter of time before it is established why organs are rejecting and steps taken to prevent the process from occurring. I reckon it will be in our lifetimes anyway.
What then? 2000ad style organ legging?
The cure for cancer is like the medical holy grail. Are they really that close to a cure? I would love to think that they are. And if they can use these methods for sorting something as horrible as cancer, what else will they be able to modify this process to do? The prospects are mind boggling, and just a bit scarey. People are all waving their arms about GM crops. What are they going to say about direct manipulation of the genes inside the human body?
