Some would say we’ve already got it the other way around.

This was supposed to give researchers “a better animal” to run experiments on, searching for a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Everyone in the world would like to see a cure for that… “humanizing” monkey brains?

Do We Need a Human Brain in a Monkey?

All it gave them was a monkey with some human tissue shot into its brain.

One can’t help wondering how serious some of these experiments are. Do they really expect to learn anything useful, or is it just to make a splash in Academia?

Dementia Cases Expected to… Triple?

Here’s a really alarming story that we missed somehow when it came out in 2017.

According to a press release by the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/07-12-2017-dementia-number-of-people-affected-to-triple-in-next-30-years), cases of dementia, worldwide, can be expected to triple in the next 30 years, from 50 million to over 150 million.

In 2017 the cost of dementia in the United States was $818 billion–and it may be expected to climb to $2 trillion in the foreseeable future.

There are several kinds of dementia, but the most common–and the worst–is Alzheimer’s Disease.

We cannot handle this without God’s help. We aren’t exactly coping with it now. A crisis like this calls for strong families, strong churches, and strong communities. Simply making the government bigger, and funding bigger and costlier bureaucracies, will not accomplish anything.

Hollowing out our culture will leave us defenseless.
