Scientists Continuing to Put Human Cells into Animals

There is a place in science for putting human cells in animals as a method of examining disease precesses and biological development, which according to this report is growing in frequency and potency. But what is the limit? Or to put it another way, how much human in an animal is too much human in an animal? Scientists won’t pause long enough to allow us have this important discussion.

Moreover, why should we trust these researchers? Many have shown no willingness whatsoever to accommodate the hesitancy of society in these areas, nor respect the moral sensibilities of society. Only scientists have the right to decide what is moral in science, some in the Scientific Establishment tell us. But open your pocketbooks and let us in.

Science is in danger of becoming little more than a special interest. If that happens, the people’s faith in the enterprise will collapse and the anything goes crowd will only have themselves to blame.
