Scientists at Newcastle University in the UK has had another scientific breakthrough involving human embryos.

This time it involves animals which is causing a bit of a controversy, Activists are saying it is a waste of healthy humane embryos, which could be more useful to childless couples. It is said that the scientists have taken cells from cows and modified them so that there are no animal genetics as such left in the cells, which in turn are fused with human embryos, apparently the embryos are 99.9% human.

The discovery came when scientist tried to find cures for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, which I have mentioned once before with scientific experiments.

It gives a total new meaning to ’silly cow’ or even the ‘dogs rollox’

Whatever next.

In the British news Tuesday 5th Feruary 2008, it was announced that scientists in the UK had developed an embryo which contained  DNA from 3 people. Apparently they had some eggs that were no use for IVF and experimented with them, after 5 days they had developed into embryos and transplanted into a female guinea pig. They are also  saying that they could be the key cures to certain diseases. These scientists are hoping that further growth will be succsessful. What if this "child" has a defect or something, in addition they claiming that the procedure will not affect the childs appearance or personality, how will they know until the child is born, As  I mentioned in my first scientific post they are really taking a risk , and I disagree with them dabling with human life form, what gives them the right to act as god.

I watched I am legend again the other day and it got me thinking, how far is it from the truth.

I mean what with all theses scientific experiments from stem cells to cloning as well as trying to find cures for illnesses such as cancer and infectious diseases like Aids. Do these scientists really know what they are dealing with, it’s not impossible for something to go drastically wrong, I sincerely hope they do find cures. The thought of being left alone while everyone else is creeping round like zombies looking for their next lunch, is pretty scary, well and me talking bollox really,but it could happen.

what would I do if I was faced with this situation… hell I’d sit on my sofa and wait for my fate, not before I’ve had a few vodka and red bulls and scared myself shitless with some good horror movies.

so with that my blog reading friends

What are your comments on scientific experiments, do you agree/disagree with what they are attempting to do?

And what would you do in your final hours, before being sushi for zombies
