evilkoal Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 did you guys hear? they successfully mixed human and bovine DNA together :D but culturing them for more than 14 days is illegal, and the cells are 99.9% human.the fact that it is illegal for them to birth the embryos is completely ridiculous, but this isnt about that. i dont understand why they just dont use chimpanzee eggs, instead of cow; i guess there are more cows than chimps though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i dont understand why they just dont use chimpanzee eggs, instead of cow; i guess there are more cows than chimps though :)And the fact that chimps and humans share 98% of DNA, so there really isn't any point.

Marcus Wolfe Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 did you guys hear? they successfully mixed human and bovine DNA together :D HOLY CRAP! THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE A MINOTAUR!!!!!! I'd LOLz if they did and had to lock it up in a maze..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 That isn't engineering; it's medical research. Please can thread to be dying now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 That isn't engineering; it's medical research. Please can thread to be dying now?What?Bad grammar much? Besides, it may not be engineering, but it is definitely some sort of predecessory research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilkoal Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 well, i would figure that putting a human cell nucleus into a bovine egg would count as engineering since it does not happen naturally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 well, i would figure that putting a human cell nucleus into a bovine egg would count as engineering since it does not happen naturally...There's a difference between experimentation and engineering. They did that to see what would happen, not for some set goal. They weren't trying to make anything for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Indeed, engineering is very different from experimentation . In experimentation, you're trying to figure out what happens and make a few predictions based on what you know. In engineering, you already know everything that can happen and try and find a solution within those boundaries. Anyways, I was thinking to myself:Bamboo, which is actually a grass BTW, grows a meter a day. If you could put the gene for that sort of growth into, say, a pine tree........They'd grow so fast we'd have no choice but to clearcut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
