It also may have to do with little test tubes just full of green DNA evidence, just like in the movies.

Or movies like "Hulk" and "Spiderman" where they have colored DNA in the background.

I want to inject DNA of a giraffe into a zebra. Long-necked zebra! Or at least a weird pattern of stripes and spots.

Scientists could probably easily do that. But there's one problem: They don't want to. >:(

Well, there's probably some scientist out there who will want to do that, but DNA experiments are expensive. Money for DNA experiments would be spent on more applicative things such as gene therapy.

Nobody seems to want to do the interesting biological experiments, such as cross breeding human DNA into monkeys and stuff to sort of reverse evolution.

That is not how evolution works...
I would write a long post about it, but it would be ignored.

Yeah, I'd imagine curing diseases/saving lives is higher on the priority list then creating crossbreeds.

Well they did create seedless watermelon to give you an idea of the priority list

I know that that's not how evolution works, but it would give a picture of what life in the later stages of evolution were.

Here's a quick post.

People didn't evolve from monkeys. Monkeys and people both evolved from a common ancestor. This means that an ancient early primate split off and found different ways to survive. One eventually evolved into monkeys. The other eventually evolved into humans.

So, injecting monkey DNA into human egg cells would not help us with evolution.

Also, you guys should know that human DNA and DNA of monkeys and other animals is too dissimilar to combine, and that people couldn't do that experiment if it were possible because it's unethical.

They're too busy torturing kittens, sewing their eyes shut and other horrible things

They don't SEW eyes shut.
Where did you hear this?

EDIT! I told you! They do far worse things!

But it's interesting you chose to say "kitten" because animal tests are mostly associated with rats and mice.

But the truth is, people don't do it on rats and mice. They do it on cats and dogs mostly.

In the news paper, they were trying to find out if deprivation of sense effected development.

*facepalm*

Lemme guess, "Does death affect heart rate?" is next.
