Post by: Rubystars on January 10, 2016, 11:57:48 PM
God commands life to reproduce after its own kind. What these scientists are doing is abomination:

Human brain inside a pig? Looks like they did that over a thousand years ago.

Growing organs is a very good endeavor, but I think the risk of these chimeras is chimera diseases.

It's morally wrong to create any kind of chimeras with human genes in them. These are abominations that should not exist no matter what the stated purpose is.

Pig organs could come in handy, but only if everyone knew I had them .

That's not in the Bible I study.

What are you talking about? It's totally forbidden!

Leviticus 19:19
 Deuteronomy 22:9–11
Mishnah Kilayim 8:1

what about 3D printed parts when possible?
What about lab grown parts when possible?

I  don't think there would be problem with the mixture of elements beings the Tabernacle was made of differing elements, beside the ones prohibited, like wool and linen.

Why not if you are not mixing species of differing origins..

I think 3d printed parts would be great as long as they didn't use aborted fetal cells for the material

Read it again. Try finding the part where God commands creatures to reproduce after their own kind. Not for a fish to have offspring that's half fish half corn, or for a pig to have an offspring with human body parts, etc.

It's forbidden to lay with them, but I don't know of conclusive evidence you can't mix them. It feels wrong, but you're all eating goat-spider wheat in your toast.

God gives commandments to human beings throughout the Torah, and that is where Jewish Law is derived from.   Point me to where God said do not alter genetics of animals.

I don't believe there is any halacha restricting genetic manipulations of animals.  Anyone have any different source to contradict me?     Taking a random verse and interpreting it as one sees fit (especially when it can be interpreted in many different ways) does not suffice to define ethics, let alone "pure evil," in any objective sense.
You have made some very bold and overreaching claims here that reflect personal bias.

3D printed parts use your own extracted cells.

That's awesome. I like that idea a lot. I've also heard of something called a ghost organ where it's an organ transplant but with everything but the connective tissue removed and the person's own cells used to replace the muscle tissue, etc.

I also consider GMOs to be wrong for the same reason.

I believe that deliberately creating hybrids that can't occur in nature is wrong based on what I have been taught about these verses. Especially if it involves mixing humans with animals.

These chimeras are only going to support the global muslamic terrorism.
