Researchers conducting human-animal hybrid experiments struck fear into federal lawmakers worried that nightmare scenarios of Frankenstein creatures have become a reality.

Earlier this year, researchers announced a blending of man and monkey.

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, said in April that it participated with a China-led research team in an experiment by injecting human stem cells into monkey embryos. They allowed the resulting creature to live and grow for 19 days before terminating it. The researchers responsible for the technology used in the experiment said their work aided the study of embryonic development.

HG Wells considered it science fiction. Yet here we are.

Was the research conducted in the Josef Mengele memorial Lab?

I worked installing equipment in labs at UCSD, Scripps Research Institute and a number of private research facilities in La Jolla but never at the Salk Institute I am happy to say. I am saddened that an American institute was involved in this but wonder why I am not surprised the Chinese were.

Russia has been trying to make a Man/Gorilla for decades.
They wanted to use them as soldiers.
No. This is not a Sci/Fi book. This is real history.
Fortunately, they were not successful.
And yet, here we are.

Well at least Bat Boy will have a friend now.

Why do people use Literary Characters without reading the Stories?  At least skim the Cliff Notes...

It's too late.  It's been happening for decades.  The Free Masons' experiment program has been running amuck since the 1970's.

Reading is hard?   

Especially to a "journalist" who makes sentences for a living, I guess.

Dr. Moreau was my first thought.

Both books are worth reading. Classics!
