Because they can doesn’t mean they should.

If brain size mattered, we’d all be serving our Elephant Overlords.

That being said, I don’t think we should be monkeying around with this stuff so casually.

Is Hillary building herself an army? We’ll know if they try to give them wings or just lots of Red Bull.

Not too long ago, a speculative poll was taken that “If you could have children safely genetically modified to enhance their abilities, what changes would you like?”

The expected results were smarter, stronger, faster, healthier, like that. And while those did register, a number of parents wished that their children were more “cat-like” or “dog-like”, especially in their facial features. These people thought that if their children were more like animals in their appearance and behavior, they would be popular.

This led to another survey about genetically manipulating dogs and cats to give them human-like intelligence and the ability to speak.

Who knew Planet of the Apes was a documentary!

Hmmm. "Documentary" is a word for events that have or are now happening.

Unlike Hebrew, English lacks a future predictive tense, I wonder what word they use and we can adopt for a future event "documentary".

They did an IQ test on those monkey ... It was smarter than AOC, Maxine Waters and 90% of the Democrats.. They also wanted to vote Trump, but knew it would be fraud, so they didn’t vote... ๐Ÿ˜€

I, for one, welcome our new monkey overlords!

They may be smarter and less evil than the ones we have now.

They have the blonde hair down.
Looks like they’re still working on the blue eyes.
