“This is a mixing of things that shouldn’t be mixed.”

What are your verses for this?

Man was given dominion over the animals and creation to use for our benefit.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of this sort of research (understandably given the media distortion).

And, I am not specifically addressing the study reported in this article, per se.

If humans coupled with animals in the Bible, they were to be killed along with the animals. I admit, the Bible doesn't say "thou shalt not edit thy genome using retroviruses," but it also doesn't have a prohibition against cannabalism. Some things are just supposed to be common sense. How can any good come from mixing pig and human genes? Imagine the viruses, the diseases, the moral problems. It's just technology that is beyond us. I will repeat what the Crispir page says--

"Our easy-to-use, optimized and validated solutions span the entire cell engineering workflow, making genome editing accessible to anyone at any level."

I mean- that doesn't make you want to puke??
