Russia: Man Grows Gills After Having Fish Genes Added To His Dna by sinkhole: 5:54pm On Feb 05, 2016
Moscow| Russian scientists
have just accomplished an
incredible feat which could
represent a major
breakthrough in the domain
of genetics: they were able to
grow some functioning gills
on a 27-year old man by
adding some fish genes to his
DNA strand.
The young patient, a scuba
diving enthusiast named
Alexei Olegovich
Zakharchenko, volunteered
for the experiment in 2012,
hoping to be able to breath
underwater without a diving
mask.
The scientists of
the Laboratory of Human
Molecular Genetics of the N.I.
Pirogov Russian State Medical
University, led by Professor
Ivan Arturovich
Vedenin, were able to modify
the man’s DNA
permanently after almost two
years of constant treatment,
causing his body to change
drastically.

shocked

wtf!?! so he can breathe under water

I use to think whites are super intelligent, now I know they are just stoopid and useless!
Is it right to permanently alter one's DNA in the name of science and technology

wat the hell is the world turning into?

Many Nigerians have the potential to get scammed. Its nothing new that if 200 people are told a lie, at least two would believe it.

In Every lie, they is always an atom of truth;

It's not today that scientists have been altering human Dna for Research purpose.

But the man that offer himself to be use is........... Stvpid.
It is sad that he don't have a purpose!!!!

The story is pure hoax... Even if it is possible in the future i do not know but for now Human genome can't be mixed with fish genome to produce a HumanFish hybrid..

As much as I might not believe d story, there is a possibility of such happening in d near future when genetic engineering is well understood. All we have to do is to cleave the DNA sequence for the physiological feature using DNA endonuclease and incorporate into d human genome by d enzyme DNA ligase. The problem with d story is that it can't just be attached to a guy in his 20's because at that point his genome is quite complex and long. It can only work with a foetus made and nutured in d lab, starting from d zygote.
