POPSShe's Her Own Twin In human biology, a chimera is an organism with at least two genetically distinct types of cells -- or, in other words, someone meant to be a twin. But while in the mother's womb, two fertilized eggs fuse, becoming one fetus that carries two distinct genetic codes -- two separate strands of DNA. The twin is invisible, but for chimeras the twin lives microscopically inside the body as DNA.

POPSCan Centaurs and Talking Pigs Be Far Behind? In 2003, Panayiotis Zavos created "human cow" embryos that lived for several days and, theoretically, could have been implanted into a woman's womb. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota have produced pigs with hybrid pig-human blood cells

POPSHow to make your fish glow.
First you take a pair of genes... There has been a lot of study in the field recombinant DNA for any number of reasons, and it's easy to think that it belongs strictly in the domain of science,and hope they know what they're doing. Science is not as much about knowing what you are doing, but having theories about what is possible and then using the scientific method to record what happens when tested. The principle behind experimentation is 'Lets try something and see what happens.' Often that is the only way something will be discovered. There are many factors to consider, generally a comparison between likely benefits and dangers and the likelihood of success based on the type of theory or past results. Mary Shelly sent us a warning Why did Dr Frankenstein create his monster? He wasn't sure if he could do it. He wanted to prove he could. There are no doubt untold benefits that can be acquired though genetic research, but we seem to be in a hurry to taunt the Sword of Damocles

POPSGuilty until proved innocent! We dying, suffering from all this stuff. Some sick minds some dozens years ago declared new era in our move in the road of progress and we relentlessly followed their mad ideas not even realizing how harmful they are. Only with genuine freedom of information in Internet the true appeared at its full extend and some of us horrified what was already done. We have to admit now that so called "chemical revolution" in fact was chimera, which directed us to our present dead end.

POPSBank or Loan Shark......You Decide! Banks have become the new "legal loan sharks" and are getting away with practices that thirty years ago might have landed perpetrators of these practices in jail. I urge y'all to read this entire piece as it is very informative. This is a major issue in our country because it gives us a false sense of success and financial security while so many of us wind up bankrupt or worse.

POPS Medicine needs hybrid embryos, scientists say I don't know what to say. For or against? having a long history of chronic illness and disease I suppose it could have its uses but still - I keep having these horrifying visions of "The Isle of Dr Moreau"

POPSThe Web's Greatest Links Page Part I (Websites) I saw someone just post the name and the url but none of the sites that it links to, I thought I could do it a little more justice. These are not even a miniscule accounting of the Websites that this page links to. Truly something for everybody. The second part is web blogs...
