This article disgusts me. I understand that it is only in good intentions to consider putting a chimpanzees heart into a human being, but that is wrong. Putting an animals heart into a humans is defying the laws of nature. Although some may argue that we are all animals, is still doesn’t make it right to put the heart of a chimpanzee into a human. If you turn the tables, think about if a article was published saying that human hearts were being transplanted into chimps, what would you say? I believe that you, as well as most people would say that is completely wrong, so why does it make it right to put chimpanzees hearts into humans?

So now lets think about the hypothetical scenario of what would happen if chimpanzee hearts started to be used as a “bridge” for a human heart transplant. If chimpanzee hearts became of demand in the international medical field that would mean that chimpanzee would start to be harvested for their hearts. So would chimpanzees be raised in farms just to be killed for there hearts only to keep a human being alive for just a few months? Now what if a black market for chimpanzees’ hearts arose with the supply of chimp hearts coming from illegal hunting and capturing of chimpanzees. This could not only endanger the chimpanzee population but it cause a direct conflict between animal rights advocates and the world of medicine.

These hypothetical questions as well as the turning the tables in the the first paragraph all highlight why this blog post is titled “thats messed up”.
