scientists create hermaphroditic fetus for no good reason
If necessity is the mother of invention then the impetus
for experimentation is boredom.
Scientists deliberately created a hermaphrodite human embryo the other
day just for the fuck of it. For those of you not really into porn
a hermaphrodite is a person with both male and female genitalia.
They call hermaphrodite embryos "chimera"
after the Greek monster that was part lion, part snake and part goat.
Fitting.
In case you kids want to make your own chimera here is the recipe.
Take the cells from a newly conceived male embryo and place them into
a three day old female embryo.
Then let simmer for nine months or so.
Hermaphrodites which for some reason always have a place in porn actually
exist in the real world.
They are formed naturally when embryos fuse in the womb a few days after conception. The baby then contains genetic material from both embryos and if the embryos are of different sexes then "allbedamn!"-
you have a chick with a dick or a guy with a pussy!
If you knew half of the things that can go wrong with a fetus when
its gestating inside of a woman you'd understand what 99 out of a
100 kids born are accidents.
Apparently fertility scientists are calling the intentional creation of a chimera "irresponsible".
What they are afraid of is that when news gets out that they are doing
shit like this it will damage the reputation of embryo research.
Lynn Fraser, a fertility specialist of King's College London, questioned
the point of the experiments and whether chimeras could ever be used
to treat single gene disorders. 'It's a
non-starter. Biologically it's an unsound approach,' she said."
The little pranksters that performed the experiment have a different
perspective on it. They say that they are trying to figure out how
to cure severe combined immunodeficiency which is a disease where
a child is born without an immune system because of a single gene
mutation because of this morphing embryo crap that can go on up in
there.
Do I believe them? Probably not. But there are so many disease out
there that do so much fucked up shit to us that any scientists can
explain away just about anything they do in a lab as "I
was trying to find a cure something."
If I told you I was saving my old toe nail clippings in zip lock baggies
to find a cure for people who get aneurisms when they ride roller coasters, you couldn't say shit to me because I am sure that there are people out there that do get aneurisms when they ride roller coasters.
And you better believe that those people would be waiting patiently
on the edge of their seats to read the results of my work.
So they could sit around making as many dick/pussy/duck/goat babies till their littles hearts content. The idea is if they don't accidentally create a disease they could accidentally find a cure for one.
