Fancy Chatting Up a Mouse?

Hi Everybody,

It seems that science is starting to cross boundaries into the unknown (that we know about). Don't forget, what appears in the public eye has already been worked on for years behind closed doors.

So since the ear on the mouse photo was sent over the world there has been a call for a frank discussion on the subject:

"A mouse that can speak? A monkey with Down's Syndrome? Dogs with human hands or feet? British scientists want to know if such experiments are acceptable, or if they go too far in the name of medical research."

Best regards,

That article brings to mind images of Egyptian art that show a human body with the head of an animal. Do you think that modern day scientists are replicating experiments done in ancient times, or was the Egyptian art telling another story?
