It does have serious ethical and moral questions. However, my first thought was insert "Pinky & The Brain" joke here.

Weissman is considering a follow-up that would produce mice whose brains are 100% human

Why the hell would we want that??? This Weissman sounds like a mad scientist.

Such experimentation is so ghastly and so unconscionable that it beggars the language.

"Weissman says that he would keep a tight rein on the mice, and if they showed any signs of humanness he would kill them."

Would that not be murder?

There are some things that shouldn't be done just because we can do them.

This is one of them.

I guess those people on the anti-gay marriage threads were right. LOL!

"...and if they showed any signs of humanness he would kill them"

This just struck me as a rather odd position to intentionally place yourself in.

It will force us to reexamine our colossal arrogance in imagining that we are utterly different from, and inherently far above "animals". Not a bad thing IMO. Facing the truth is always healthy.

>>What happens when you cross a human and a mouse?<<

My guess is a scientist who wants to cross a human with a mouse.

The first chimeric experiment occurred many years ago when scientists in Edinburgh fused a sheep and goat embryo - two unrelated animal species that are incapable of mating and producing a hybrid offspring. The resulting creature, called a geep, was born with the head of a goat and the body of a sheep.

Bah. Popeye had one of these years ago!
