Wow, this morning I woke up to three different story's in the Drudge Reports......
One....
First mixed-embryo monkeys are born in US
US researchers said Thursday they have created the world's first mixed-embryo monkeys by merging cells from up to six different embryos, in what could be a big advance for medical research.
Until now, rodents have been the primary creatures used to make chimeras, a lab animal produced by combining two or more fertilized eggs or early embryos together.

Next....
Meet the 'chimeric' monkeys made from the cells of SIX different animals
Monkeys created from genetic material from six animals
Will help research into stem cells and fertility, say scientists
Research is 'deeply disturbing' say animal rights groups - and will cause suffering

And last.....
Welcome to a brave new world: Genetic scientists create freakish man-made monster ants with huge heads and jaws
Ancient genes activated by dab of hormones
Ants seem to contain a 'toolkit' for creating monsters
May be a throwback to ancestors from millions of years ago

Ancient Hormones? vivisection, and quite frankly they're leaving out the "C" word.....what they are not telly you is this is REVERSE GENETICS.....better known as "positional cloning".
Now I quite remember a story where God got fed up with the whole thing.....had a man gather two by two all the animals and created a huge flood to "to start over again".
It would seem this ancient practice of gene manipulation is getting rather freakish here.....
Scientists showed that ordinary ants of the species Pheidole morrisi contain all the genetic 'tools' needed to turn them into supersoldiers - they just need a hormonal push.
'We uncovered an ancestral development potential to produce a novel supersoldier subcaste that has been retained throughout a hyperdiverse ant genus that evolved 35 to 60 million years ago.'
The results suggest that holding on to ancestral development tool kits may play an important role in evolving new physical traits, say the researchers.
WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
