ok so what is up with the need to create these freak animals?
There is now a sheep that is growing monkey tissues in Japan. OK :wtf:
....its just baddddddddddddd *said in my sheep voice*
I'd rather they experiment on themselves instead. 
Ok, well when someone's child needs an organ and they can only get one that has been grown inside an animal, using human stem cells. Make sure that you refuse it, ok?
This is NOT making NEW animals. It is finding ways to grow cells, tissue, and hopefully organs to use for transplants. The animal is not being harmed at all. They are simply growing tissue inside of it. Just like your body does, except they are growing tissue to possibly use in another species. Sheep are hardy animals... I'm sure when your loved one needs a heart to live, and they offer one that has been grown inside an animal (and the animal will continue to live), but will safe your loved ones life, that you will promptly refuse it because it was part of some freak experiment.
Or wait... better yet... maybe someone would be willing to let them grow tissue in loved one first. There's a plan.
As all of you know, I love animals more than most people. But I'm also a advocate of animal research for medical reasons. I've worked in the field for many years. This is necessary stuff. The sheep is not being harmed. I watched hearts being grown in a rats ear to use in as a transplant for another rat. Guess what? They both lived.
I'm sure all of the people that are against research also refuse all medical treatment. Hope no one gives their kids treatments for cancer, pain meds, or vaccines, or anything that was once animal tested to save human lives. That'd just be sick, huh?

Oh no doubt that if I need a organ or my kids needed one I would have no issue. I really am not against animal research (don't tell my veggie kid) that is done for medical research (to a point). He I'm all down for monkey hearts - after all I really do like bananas so works for me 
are AWESOME!
It just made me laugh and hit a funny bone last night when I saw part monkey and part sheep. The whole baddddddddddd was a play on sheep talk and well since we have a cute
face I had to toss in the
(how cute is he??). We needed some humor and I thought this was humorous last night.
All we need to do is get President Obama to slap the monkey, get the PETA ppl pissed and I pretty much would be 
Sorry... I get adamant with this stuff. Remember, I've worked in the field where you get death threats, and once had a guy in my position at a different facility beat with a crowbar when he got to his car.

I agree with you 100%. I fully support this kind of medical research and am very excited to see what the future will hold... Imagine, if we could custom create a heart for someone using their own DNA and an animal. I'm all for saving the critters, but humans come first.
