Ray, I'm beginning to think that you hate the word 'ethics'. There was an extensive article about chimeras in the New York Times Sunday magazine where scientists from an array of religious backgrounds (including agnostics) were expressing reservations about how far experimentation with chimeras has advanced. There are problems, not the least of which is the transfer of viruses from one species to another. I don't think Jim Finn would be happy to discover, for instance, that the fetal pig cells in his brain were causing the disintegration of his lungs because he had acquired a pig virus along with pig cells. ------ God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) > Scientists have shown ability to police themselves (Hwang fraud) better > than politicians.
