Seriously, scientists??? This is not the year!!! Also, this is why the liberal arts are so important. All science majors should have a mandatory film course. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, did the bigger brain have any effect? Oh, I see. It looks like they stopped the development in the fetal stage: Quote In this case, those boundaries included stopping these experiments in the fetal phase: The fetuses were taken out by C-section after growing for about 100 days. Bringing new human-gene-influenced monkeys into the world would step over the ethical line, Huttner says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
