Genetic Scientists Create 12-Headed Jellyfish

Please let NATURE or GOD do the creating, before you totally goof up.

And exactly HOW much money did they waste on this experiment? Good money that they could be using to find a cure for cancer?

Precisely HOW much money did they waste on this lttle expriment? This is millions of dollars that could very well have gone to finding a cure for AIDS or cancer or something else that actually MATTERS and here we are creating mutant jellyfish. Wow.

Oh, good. I've been wanting one.

LOL

someone wants to know why they're using money on this instead of cures for cancer. Scientists are funded by the government, which houses the FDA, the pharmacuiticals pay good money to the FDA, and the major pharmacuitical companies would rather have treatments instead of cures.

So, considering most scientists are government funded don't expect a cute for cancer, aids, diabetes, obesity, or anything else that doesn't kill off the people before they can fork over money for long term care.

I'd rather scientists not play god but when they're paid to not come up with anything I give them credit for finding a good way to waste time. Even the surgeon generals in the past have come out against how politically influenced thier findings were, and how censored which again confirms the ambitions of the pharmacuiticals.

At this rate hopefully scientists will end up creating something that can one day kill us all, and then; then, when there's a chance people can die and not pay for long term treatment, we will have a cure for 8 headed jellyfish in the works.

what a good way to spend money!are you kidding me??!!

"Messing around with a few genes" means this was a cloning experiment gone awry. Scientists don't "mess around with genes." And they're just itching to get your tax dollars to do this with people.

Man, 12-headed jellyfish--that's awesome! You guys need to chill. A scientist's job is to discover new frontiers. Also, they were discovering how polyp colonies originated on earth, so it wasn't a waste at all, was it?

Just what I need living at the beach! Getting stung by a ONE HEADED one is bad enough, what are they tryin to do? Give us all heart attacks??? Ye Gods do something more useful with your time man!!!!!!

wow that was really worth the money they spent on it, COME ON!!! twelve heads, it's only more mouths to feed

The funniest thing about reading all these comments is that nobody ever knows what the hell there talking about. Wasting money for finding a cure for a disease? There is what we call different braches of science that work on different things. The only way to find a cure is to do the things that dont make sense to you. To understand anything in life you must find out why life began. You cant just find a cure out of nowhere. If they belive "messing with a few genes" is going to help them in some way then let them expermient. With everything we do it could spark an idea somewhere. You need to understand that any person has the capability to solve they just need the oppurtunity to open there minds and let free thoughts flow. If you want to get real about all this because all of you people are in fantasy land. Anatomy and most science was done through unorthodox practices. The body and the details of it where found through scientist that literally dug up bodys from graves and ripped apart to learn what it is. It wasnt in a controlled enviorment where scientist slowly cut open the body. through scientest that had a passion. All you people that limit these scientist minds are only hurting the people that will find the cure. As a people we worry so much about the day and not enough of our future. As i say again let science be science and let them find it in there own ways. We are at a hault in cures because of people that control every aspect of everything. Let scientist work to the capacity they can and they will find the cure you all looking for. and if you are so perturbed about where money goes why dont you actually go donate money to the fund of your cause since your soooooo worried about where your "money" goes

I think all of you are right. It is our tax dollars that they are spending to do this with & don't forget it. Also, if they didn't do something like this then they would all be out spending our money on something else just so we can't live a normal, happy, long life with our loved ones, etc. Don't forget they also get a raise alot more often than John Q. Public does!!

Is that where jelly comes from(Jellyfish)? lol

Here's a newsflash,people of America: NO ONE in Washington D.C. or in any of their science labs cares about the taxpayers. They don't care about your problems, your health (as long as you are able to keep working), your happiness, your kids, grandkids, your parents, grandparents, your suffering,(financial OR physical). THEY DON'T CARE, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP FEEDING THEM THEIR MONEY. THAT IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT!!!!!!!!!

They would not post my comment. It was about just how much congress cares about the american taxpayers- NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man these guys got too wrapped up in Pirates of the Caribbean Are they trying to create the Kraken???

Must be the same people that studied cow farts on the taxpayers dime.

the cow farts study was actually very beneficial in learning the effects of methane on the environment; try reading about it. educate yourself before you complain about stuff you don't understand, nick.

man, i love reading all these complaints. first off, chill. i can do these experiments in my high scool labs. lab fees are 40 bucks. these scientists arent wasting millions of dollars that could go to AIDS research or a cure for cancer. i hate when science plays God, but i think this is fascinating.

also, if you have such a problem with it, please dont spend your time posting a complaint on a message board when you see 10 comments identical to the one your about to write right above it.

God bless
