Scientists Splice Human Genes Into Monkey Brains

Technocrat scientists experiment because they can, not because there is a demonstrated need to do so. Genetic splicing between species is becoming more common and accepted. Few are assessing the physical dangers or ethical implications. ⁃ TN EditorScientists have made monkeys brains bigger by splicing them with human genes in an experiment reminiscent of The Planet of the Apes.
Experts took the gene known as ARHGAP11B – which directs stem cells in the human brain – and placed i
