    I wouldn’t be able to tell you how accurate this synopsis is, but I am curious what reasons we have to be genetically modifying primates…

        ☠️☠️ I was thinking more like as a replacement for that genetically modified pig that they used a (heart?) from recently but ya, I can only imagine you are right.

      It’s not hard to imagine. Maybe remove or correct some undesirable genes, for example those associated with diseases. Or perhaps reduce genes associated with violence or aggression. There are a lot of reasons.
