Schizophrenia Up Close

What you're looking at are neurons grown from a schizophrenic person. An incredible study, published today in Nature, reveals how scientists grew schizophrenic brain cells to understand the inner workings of this still-mysterious neurological disorder.
A team of scientists from research institutes across the US collaborated to conduct this first-of-a-kind experiment. Schizophrenia is known to be an inherited, genetic disease in the majority of cases, and the researchers drew their samples from the skin of four people with clearly inherited schizophrenia. Three were from families where one parent and all their siblings were also schizophrenic, and one had been diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 6. Then they then "reprogrammed" these cells to become stem cells, then neurons, creating small colonies of cells whose genetic profile exactly matches schizophrenic neurons.


Take a good, hard look at this picture.  That is what crazy looks like.  Pretty scary if you ask me.  Scientists are out there making skitzo stem cells (that is a much easier spelling for me.)   Well , what is making them stop right there?  They could go all the way.  From stem cells they can clone these crazy folks, then who knows where that leads.  Is there going to be an army of skitzo crazy mothers unleashed to destabilize society as we know it?  This is not as far fetched as it seems, my friends. 

For every 100 good-intentioned scientists out there,. there is atleast 1.4 bad ones.  That is a scary proposition knowing what a evil scientist is capable of.  Let's all hope and pray for the human civilization that there are no evil scientists out there trying to take over the world with their skitzo army.


An Army of these guys could do some serious damage.
