Or did you not read my earlier comment? Frank,

Do you really want to get your science news from the 700 Club? Please. I just realized you used a link from the CBN.

Scientists have been splicing parts of the human genome into laboratory animals for years. One of my friends is a MD/PhD. His PhD thesis (defended in the mid-90's) was the creation of a strain of lab mice with human cholesterol disorder. Not just a mouse with the target gene for high cholesterol turned on; but a mouse with the actual human genes for high cholesterol spliced in. His animal model became a nifty way to study cholesterol-lowering drugs before introducing them in a full-blown clinical trial. The arrival of hybridized animals was long ago. You’re joking right?
