Glowing monkeys ‘to aid research’

Genetically modified primates that glow green and pass the trait on to their offspring could aid the fight against human disease.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Future modifications could lead to treatments for a range of diseases.
The “transgenic” marmosets, created by a Japanese team, have been described in the journal Nature.
The work raises a number of ethical questions about deliberately exposing a bloodline of animals to such diseases.
Scientists have managed to modify the genes of many living organisms in recent years, ranging from bacteria to mice.

This type of practice will continue as all scientific practices do. Nobody seems to challenge the way they do things. It seems as if they have a permanent greenlight to do whatever they please as long as its done in the name of research to protect humans. Too bad the animals don’t have a say in the deal.

They say they introduce the genetic modification through viruses ” Interesting” Can it be they are trying to geneticly modify the human population to make us a sub human species?
“We can just introduce genes by virus vectors,” he told BBC News, “so the limitation comes from the sizes of genes that can be carried by the retroviruses.”

DId you know that glowing is nothing new? Why just the other day I saw a corrupt politician getting his ass beat, and man it was glowing the brightest color red!
Red is for when we beat there asses.
White is the pale color the dead have.. a most drained look. Pay backs are a bitch aren’t they?
Blue, is the color of cyanosis, which is a depletion of Oxygen. The same color the banksters will have when swinging from Your Aunt’s tree in her front yard.

Playing at being Gods, but that’s what they believe they are destined to become.
I wonder what the World will be like in 100 years from now?

Glowing Monkeys? Except as a name for an eccentric rock band, I see little use for that.
Pack a gun and pay no tax.

I’m with Ben ^
A glowing monkey? Are you f’n serious? What’s next? Flying monkey’s from The Wizard of Oz?
Hey Japan! How about spending a couple million yen on something we can USE!

I’ll be a green monkey’s uncle!

I always wondered what gave bush that evil color.

A picture of these glowing monkeys would be nice.

man what a bunch of ass wipes…all the starving people in the world..and scientists are doing crap like this…will they be selling glow in the dark monkeys at walmart?

Just look on the bright side. When PETA goes in and frees all the monkeys, the jaquars and mountain lions won’t have to take out your poodle with glow in the dark monkeys running around in the woods. Those big cats will become more civilized just like when we humans got Jack-N-the-Box 24/7. Ah, a lighted grocery aisle, finally civilization!
