Human Genes Used to Create Super Chimp
01-Apr-2007
A chimpanzee capable of
doing simple tasks such as repetitive factory work has been created in the laboratory by modifying the brain of a chimpanzee
embryo with human DNA. The chimp has a measurable IQ of 68, well within the range necessary to accomplish simple tasks such
as janitorial and some factory assembly work, and stoop labor, for example, on farms.
Corporate sponsors, the military and governments worldwide are all
interested in the new animal, as it will not be subject to laws governing work hours and safety in factory environments, would
be considered expendable on the battlefield, and can be bought and sold on the open market. It is expected that the first
super-chimps will be available for sale to selected corporate entities and governmental agencies within two years, and that
a lively market in the animals will develop quickly, as demand is expected to be extremely high.
