Re: Mad Scientists at it again
I am an animal lover and would not agree with hurting animals in any way however i do also worry about youngsters who die while waiting for transplants while waiting for organs to be donated.Its a tough decision for me as can i trust that the scientists who can do this will make sure that organs go to all the people who need them not just those who can afford them and would the animals used be treated humanely.
With the things we can do these days can we not grow these organs in a lab instead of using animals.

It is a educated theory that, if the balance of life forms becomes too disturbed, there is a strong possibility that many other species will also die. Even David Attenborough has said that if termites didn't exist it would seriously affect number of humans that lived.
If killing a lot of animals to save one baby happens, do you not think that would upset the balance of nature when everybody wants their baby saving too?
I base my opinions on what people, who know a lot more about it than I do, think, and it is a fact that an Ecological imbalance will kill some life forms, possibly humans.
Although I do believe that humans are the most likely creatures to destroy the world anyway....because we have already started to do that!

You're right Twink, I have seen programmes about this too.
It is quite amazing, and very interesting how one life form can have such a knock-on affect on others.
And just for the record, I haven't changed my mind, I still think scientists will go too far one day, and probably destroy us all.

Re: Mad Scientists at it again
We Mustn't lose sight of the reason that most animals are out there in the fields.They will be off to the slaughtered, eventually, to feed humans.
It doesn't take much thought to suggest that those very same animals could be "modified" such that organs become available as transplants, for humans, at the same time as they are killed to become food.
Some difficult decisions coming, as the world population grows.
Hopefully, some travellers won't arrive, from outer space, and do the same to us.
