It’s great that peak scientific minds are trying to create green, glowing monkeys. It’s not like humanity is bothered by plethora of problems. Let’s chill and torture some monkeys instead.
Yeah they just doing this for no reason /s.
Did you even read the article?
Did you? It says that it at one point MIGHT be useful to chimerize the monkeys to research neurodegenrative diseases. Making it glowing was just to make shit easier for them, not for any scientific purposes.
And yeah, I get it, scientific breakthrough comes with a cost, but there’s reason why primates are not generally getting chimerized…
