"Here's a hint: there's more than one way to make a critter that you like."

That's nice, but it doesn't have anything to do with chimera.

"I want to know why you think there is this particular motive."

The motive is probably to make a name for themselves, but ultimately, it's a pride thing - setting oneself up as one's own 'god'. I've seen some statements made by scientists about 'curing diseases' and 'creating sources for organs that can be transplanted' and blah, blah, blah. But the ends don't justify the means.

How terrible! What evil motives! How selfish!

So... saving human lives (the ends) don't justify transplanting a few animal cells into some other animals (the means)???

I want you to think good and hard. Ponder this deeply, and don't just respond with a knee-jerk: if a pig can be created that gives transfusable human blood and transplantable organs... what is your *real* problem?
