Scientists splice human genes into monkey brains to make them bigger, smarter

What could go wrong?

They found that the primates' brains soon became more human-like by developing larger, more advanced neocortexes — the area that controls cognition and language, according to the study published in the journal Science in June.

According to images released by the researchers, the modified monkey brains nearly doubled in size at around 100-days into gestation.

"Ultimately, scientists opted to abort the monkey fetuses due to "unforeseeable consequences," according to the release."

This article made me pro-choice.

Kind of fascinating experiment, if a bit barbaric. I would have been interested to see the completed result.

You have to wonder how many 'private' medical facilities have already gone through with this and that the unforeseen consequences have been seen.

On the internet, no one knows you're a genetically-enhanced bonobo.

Jesus Christ just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

How long until some retard repeats this experiment to try and make some kind of controllable animal super soldier or some other idiocy.

Alex Jones becomes more right every day wtf.
