Scientists Splice Human Gene Into Monkeys to Make Them Smarter

One wonders if the Creator of all life is looking upon these pompous, proud little scientists as the cup of sin continues to fill? They think they are getting so smart by tinkering with genes and DNA, the building blocks of all life.  What kind of strange flesh might be possible for them to create?

What if we took the genes of a lion and put them into a human baby in the womb?  Could we make him a fearless warrior?  What if we put the genes of a dolphin into a human baby?  Could we make him a world champion swimmer?

What if we put human genes in a baby monkey?  Could we make the monkey a whole lot smarter and maybe a whole lot more human-like?

Scientists put human gene into monkeys to make them smarter, human-like

Making monkeys more smart and human-like, scientists have used gene-editing to insert human brain gene in a monkey.

For the first time, a team of Chinese scientists made use of gene-editing techniques to make monkey brains more human-like. By the end, the monkeys, rhesus macaques, got smarter and had superior memories as compared to the unaltered monkeys.

Researchers edited the human version of a gene known as ‘MCPH1’ into the macaques. The gene made the monkeys’ brain develop along a more human-like timeline. The gene-hacked monkeys showed better reaction times and improved short-term memories in comparison to their unaltered peers, as per China Daily.

The team successfully created 11 transgenic rhesus monkeys carrying human copies of MCPH1. They said that a transgenic monkey model is practical and to a large extent can imitate the human-specific status.

However, few scientists also raised concerns regarding the technique, some even calling it ‘reckless’. Geneticist James Sikela told the MIT Technology Review, “The use of transgenic monkeys to study human genes linked to brain evolution is a very risky road to take. It is a classic slippery slope issue and one that we can expect to recur as this type of research is pursued.”

As you read an article like this you just have to wonder when God is going to say, "Enough!!  Jesus, go and get your bride to save her from the wrath I'm about to pour out on all of mankind!  And after your honeymoon with your bride, make sure you have your sword and crown nearby because I'm sending you back to earth to rule and reign for  1000 years."
