Human-Mouse experimentation using human brain tissue

Post by Maria »

excerpt follows:

These micro quasi-brains are revolutionizing research on human brain development and diseases from Alzheimer’s to Zika, but the headlong rush to grow the most realistic, most highly-developed brain organoids has thrown researchers into uncharted ethical waters. Like virtually all experts in the field, neuroscientist Hongjun Song of the University of Pennsylvania doesn’t “believe an organoid in a dish can think,” he said, “but it’s an issue we need to discuss.”

Those discussions will become more urgent after this weekend. At a neuroscience meeting, two teams of researchers will report implanting human brain organoids into the brains of lab rats and mice, raising the prospect that the organized, functional human tissue could develop further within a rodent. Separately, another lab has confirmed to STAT that they have connected human brain organoids to blood vessels, the first step toward giving them a blood supply.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Consider the experiments on dogs.

In Germany, they crossbred different breeds to create an intelligent watch dog: the Doberman.

However, the Doberman has a very small head and brain case. Thus, there have been several fatalities where dog owners were attacked by their Doberman dogs as their brains were too restrained by the small space allowed in their skulls. It made them go crazy, no doubt from the pain.

We had to put down our two Doberman dogs as they started acting vicious and were not acting normal at all.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
