This sounds crazy but I've always expected that things like this were happening. Just imagine all the people that go missing here in the states each year. Are some of those people being used in some secret underground laboratory?

If this is just research to learn about diseases and their cure, I think there is no issue. However, if they want to create a creature I see a problem here. Humans and monkeys have the same ancestors and I think scientists are trying to learn how genetics work.

Just imagine how many others countries this is happening in were ethics is ignored. Now just imagine how many years/decadees things like this has been going on?

This is not the first time in history that mankind has tried to combine humans with apes or monkeys.
