HI, Okay, Andreas. What REALLY is going on in Palo Alto?? "More part-human chimeras are now in the works or already in lab cages. StemCells Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif., has given hundreds of mice human-brain stem cells, for instance." See: Chimeras exist, what if some turn out too human? 06 May 2005 - If you had just created a mouse with human brain cells, one thing you wouldn't want to hear the little guy say is, "Hi there, I'm Mickey." Even worse, of course, would be something like, "Get me out of this & pe rcentGBP !! body!" _http://www.bioethics.net/News/?id=427_ (http://www.bioethics.net/News/?id=427) Wondering, Marlena in Missouri (wondering what the Stowers Institute is doing on the Plaza, too...) ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
