But on a serious note, can someone please explain to me the actual need for human animal hybrid cells?

# Because they can manufacture them easily, whereas normal human stem cells are hard to come by.
From which they can do various experimentation with regards human illness and genetic diseases.

Plus they are scientists and can do whatever the fuck they like. THEY HAVE LASERS!

# strikes me as much ado about nothing
they're not growing them into minataurs, so what the hell difference does it make. they may come up with a cure for something out of their little collections of cells or it may go nowhere.

# Is it a coincidence that the countries that support genetic research
are also the countries with the biggest defence budgets? (America ,Britain and Israel)

They are trying to develop genetic weapons

# Do you have any evidence for this?
Or any idea how embryos can lead to genetic weapons?
Or is this just wild conspiracy theory?
One of the reasons could be we're three countries which are heavily involved in this kind of research, and who have the budgets to do it.

Aren't America vehemently against genetic research anyway? What with being filled with extremist Christians et al.

# And let us ignore the fact that GM crops have created golden rice (I think it had a better name than that but I forget it)
which was normal rice but had Vitamin A added which could potentially stop the millions of deaths and permenant blindness which occurs in the third world. But let's ignore that and ban it on moral grounds, and let all the children die instead.

# We were talking about human genetic research, genetically modified food sources have been going on for years.
And the majority of it doesn't even involve genetic splicing and is just intense research and selective breeding, selective breeding which has gone on for years.

Carrots used to be white until the 15th century or so, but I don't see you complaining about that.

Does this have anything to do with genetic research?

# The excuse for genetic research
is to provide cures for disease


The reason for it is to genetically develop diseases that will kill arabs but not whites

# Are you actually serious?
Please do reveal where you're getting these facts from.
I'm still a little confused as to how the military managed to convince the medical community that it's a good idea to do research aimed at killing Arabs.

# Yes
money

# And your source for this is?
I'm in Medical Science myself. You can understand that I'm sceptical that a bit of cash would convince us to stop trying to help people and concentrate on killing them instead.

# That is actually physically and genetically impossible.
The fact that fruitflies share 60% of human disease genes, and they are an entirely different class let alone race, means that there are literally no differences between the immune systems of white people and arabs (and that's ignoring the fact that 'arab' isn't even a race).

# And therefore,
it follows logically that the government has hijacked genetic research into curing certain diseases which are currently incurable in order to kill people it doesn't like.

# The military and governments of many countries
hijack all research to evaluate their potential use against their enemies

# It's actually that sickle cell anaemia protects one from malaria.
But given that you don't get malaria in England it's not much use round here. And actually if you read into it, the sickle cell anaemia suseptibility effects people of all ethnicities in any region where malaria is or was prevalent.

So that's just hereditary illnesses....not racial genetics.
