Human-Animal Hybrids

What if you could cross a human with a pig...and then take the hybrid's heart to transplant back into a human?  Would that pig still be a pig even though it has a human heart?

What if you could cross a human with a cheetah so the hybrid would look like a human but have vision capabilities of a cheetah?

What if you could cross a human with a gorilla and create a being that was 10 times stronger than a man and absolutely fearless on the battlefield?  It could be the ULTIMATE SOLDIER!

Does that sound far fetched to you?  You better think again....because the technology is already here to make it possible...and in labs across the world strange hybrids are already being produced.

Did you know that scientists are creating cow/human hybrids, pig/human hybrids and even mouse/human hybrids?  This is happening every single day in labs all over the western world, but most people have never even heard about it.  So would you drink milk from a cow/human hybrid that produces milk that is almost identical to human breast milk?  And how would you interact with a mouse that has a brain that is almost entirely human?  These are the kinds of questions that we will have to start to address as a society as scientists create increasingly bizarre human/animal hybrids.  Thanks to dramatic advances in genetic technology, we have gotten to the point where it is literally possible for college students to create new hybrid lifeforms in their basements.   Of course our laws have not kept pace with these advances, and now that Pandora’s Box has been opened, it is going to be nearly impossible to shut it.

Scientists try to justify the creation of human/animal hybrids by telling us that it will help “cure disease” and help “end world hunger”, but what if scientists discover that combining human DNA with animal DNA can give us incredible new abilities or greatly extended lifespans?  Will humanity really have the restraint to keep from going down that road?

And once animal DNA gets into our breeding pool, how will we ever put the genie back into the bottle?  As the DNA of the human race becomes corrupted, it is easy to imagine a future where there are very few “pure humans” remaining.

Sadly, most of the scientists working in this field express very little concern for these types of considerations.  In fact, one very prominent U.S. geneticist says that we should not even worry about hybridization because he believes that humans were originally pig/chimpanzee hybrids anyway…

The human species began as the hybrid offspring of a male pig and a female chimpanzee, an American geneticist has suggested.

The startling claim has been made by Eugene McCarthy, who is also one of the world’s leading authorities on hybridisation in animals.

He points out that while humans have many features in common with chimps, we also have a large number of distinguishing characteristics not found in any other primates.

So if we are just hybrid creatures ourselves, why should we be scared of making more hybrids?

So what should we call mice that have brains that are mostly human?

And at what point would our relationship with such creatures fundamentally change?

When they learn to talk?

Scientists all over the planet are recklessly creating these chimeras without really thinking through the implications.

In China, scientists have actually inserted human genes into the DNA of dairy cow embryos.

Now there are hundreds of human/cow hybrids that produce milk that is virtually identical to human breast milk.

Many scientists believe that these kinds of technologies will “change the world”.

They might be more right about that than they ever could possibly imagine.

When we start monkeying with human DNA, we could be opening up doorways that we never even knew existed.

If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.  Hopefully scientists around the globe will understand the dangers of these types of experiments before it is too late.

This article had nothing in it to suggest the author had a biblical worldview...but clearly he was worried about scientists playing with the building blocks of life...wondering if we could end up opening doorways that we never knew existed!

For me, it makes me wonder if any of this ties into what Jesus told us about the days leading up to His return..."As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man...."

For many of you I won't need to re-ask this question...but what was it that was going on IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?

Genesis 6 clearly tells us that there was some sort of hybrid humans on earth that were a cross between some type of fallen angel men and human women.  Could we be heading back to those days?...days where God finally says, "ENOUGH!"...and sends his Son to collect his bride before divine WRATH is poured out on a Christ rejecting world?

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

Romans 2:5
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

BUT HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS...FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TRUSTED IN CHRIST FOR SALVATION!!

Romans 5:9
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

1 Thessalonians 1:10
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
