There
has been talk of mixing DNA of different species.We see examples of
this in ancient art and history contains stories about them. Recently,
according to National Geographic News, Chinese scientists in 2003 were
successful at combining human cells in rabbit eggs and terminated them
after a short period of development. Last year a Mayo clinic in the
United States successfully had human blood flowing through the veins
of pigs. A university in California has indicated they would like to
combine human brain and mice.
After
thorough research into evolution as we have been taught, it becomes
clear that many pieces of the puzzle are missing. It also appears that
without some intervention, species cannot become another specie. Even
evolution fails to show transitional forms and missing links that have
not been proven otherwise by even some of the ivy league universities.
Even in offspring, a wolf can mate with a dog and a horse can mate with
zebra. However, a cat and a dog can not produce offspring in nature.
There
is much debate in those who fall away from the mainstream study of history.
Rumors of the Smithsonian hiding important artifacts and skeletons of
supposed non-human skeletons that were more alien like than animal remain
in the minds of some. Others point out the giant skeletal
remains found in ancient times of both human skeletons and animal skeletons.Others
speculate about the immaculate conceptions of prominate figures such
as Gilgamesh or Jesus. Some therorize that these immaculate conceptions
came from other races that are more advanced or from God himself, and
that there are other examples of angelic, or superior races intervening
in history. Despite these and other theories, there is still one concern that we can all agree upon. The sanctity of life and showing respect for how they are treated.
How can we not think about our lack
of human maturity while our science reaches beyond our understandings
of the human spirit? Handling an animal with human DNA becomes an issue
of human rights, or animal rights. However, we should already be at
point where we recognize the value of every living thing on this planet.
Until we start doing that, a fear of playing god may be founded indeed.
