We finally "officially" have made a successful Human-Animal hybrid. Thoughts?

So well, I didn't expected DNA modification tools get this advanced this early in the century. So What do you guys think? Planet of Apes or some funky new lethal diseases might come around and bite us in the ass later on? Or a more optimistic point of view?

Indeed, the thing is some countries can use the clones just to permanently get rid of immigration & in "aging" countries like Japan & South Korea to revitalize the economy and solve their birth rate problems and other of their human society deficiencies.

Basically it's a double edge sword, I hope it's used for the good like nuclear energy and not for the bad aka the nuclear bomb.

i see you're new to the human race.

it will get used for evil purposes

As per usual yes you're right it's going to be used for evil stuff, however i hope it won't lead to nefarious purposes neither lead this planet and the human species to another Black Swan type of event. We got already enough crap to deal with this century, to have another thing throwing salt in the open wound that's modern society in a nutshell.

Edit: fixed grammar mistakes.

Whoopee. Humans are already part monkey.

Yes, we're part banana, too, according to the genome. So what?

One thing is being part "banana" other thing is being half "banana" & half "human" something that by nature doesn't exist.
The only exception I know about mix of multiple parts is the animal called: Platypus. The other exception are in fiction, be it the Chimera from Greek mythology or the other hybrid beings in Egypt myths, nordic myths, babylon myths, the other exception being religion like how the "original" NOT romanticized Bible Angels look like; etc.

The mix of animal-human hybrid would be the Angels called "Cherubim".

What do you mean "finally?"
It's been happening for years now at least since 2017

Who cares about monkeys, when's the brain-transplations thingy going to become a thing? Some of us people have been waiting since the Cold War for it.

Well i say given how fast tech is being developed during the current 4th tech revolution. Probably by 2030-2040 that tech should be here.

Thoughts?

It's been done. So what? Who wants a hybrid anyway unless it was a ehm...

personal bodyguard with a parasite in th.. no?

Wouldn't that be more akin to a body transplant?
I mean, the brain is where the you is. You can't replace yourself.

Agreed. Ironically seems like the mad lad of Alex Jones was right about this stuff, which idk if find it hilarious or concerning.

We should be seriously concerned that Mr. Jones is routinely proven correct. 1) He's said a lot of things that would be truly horrifying for the earth if they came true 2) Our government, tech platforms, and journalists have too much power to censor those whom they don't like.

Well that's a fair point given that organizations like the CIA, MI6, Mossad, etc. among other "stay behind" type of organizations still exist. My point being even if we as a collective start questioning our govt, tech platforms, journalist, etc.

Who knows if they're going to pull out another Operation Gladio to send a "message" to general public. It wouldn't be the 1st time a govt does fishy stuff neither will be the last.

By the Operation Gladio here's a 23 min documental:

And here a 2 hours tape found in an old VHS.

In a nutshell, be it without Alex Jones or with him saying all that stuff. Us the regular citizens would not know about a ton of stuff for many decades and their respectives consequences. Maybe like 5-7 decades after we might get some declassifed files.

Edit: There's a ton of stuff that has been declassified that i find fascinating. Example the Nicaragua CONTRAS manual called “Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare”.

In the official CIA govt page it only has 40ish pages with a ton of censored stuff, while the MuckRock version got all 90ish pages with no censored stuff.

Edit 2:Here's the link to the MuckRock version of that CIA manual for anyone interested in old CIA ops.

Well that's flattering, thanks

Edit: Would like to add, that I like your input in the thread about having a moral angle regarding these new living beings.
It might be one of the most "sensitive" discussion topics in a few years in the future if those new hybrids go out of the lab be it normally or if they escape somehow.

Edit 2: Fixed grammar mistakes.
