What Exactly is: Parabiosis | Real Chimera Experiments

Chimera experiments are real, and it's been going on since at least the last decade. The experiments are life changing for the animals, sometimes really badly. That’s why, protocol kept being updated to ensure ethical practice is maintained.

Imagine a bunch of giants kidnapping you, drugging you and then when you wake up there's some guy named Jeff stiched to your side.

[ganondorf]

pupa headed moth disturbed me more than I was anticipating. At least I can use this knowledge to draw freaky monsters!

[isaacthedestroyerofstuped]

Obviously it's so we can put more than one person in the Torment Nexus at once!

Efficiency!

[anju]

Ah sweet manmade horrors beyond my comprehension, These experiments are so unsettling.

[Beepers]

Also the pupa-headed moth freaks me out a bit since… how can something even survive like that? It’s more of a mad science experiment

PhD for sewing two mice together, good times

[vezokpiraka]

Comb Jellies are the only animal in the world that can connect two organisms into one naturally. As in you just cut them and they stick to each other.

[Tadesan]

The Human Centipede is another good documentary on parabiology.

[SuperGameFan]

9:48 ah yes, using the blood of children to regain one's youth. Wait a minute, where have I heard that before?

[Joshua-ipgz]

the most literate PMoon fan delivers yet again

[hyliaphora-cecropia]

Wow, those moth experiments are gnarly! Very interesting, though. Great video, I always look forward to your uploads!

[basilunderworld]

that one clip of the mice re separated is soooo sad it hurts my heart so much. I could never do such things to animals no matter what you might find out through these experiments. I feel so bad for these poor things.

Could you make a video talking about aeroplankton and the ecosystems they make ?

"Sadly we cannot do experiments on the twins, as that is unethical.... We'll do it on animals"

[MarwinKun]

Look, I've been practicing. I made a pigeon-rat!

[jipowap]

Strange, I'm steeled against most schocks, but this is making my stomach wiggle unpleasantly.

Para means beside, near, resembling, accessory to, beyond, apart from, abnormal.

Bio refers to biologic like living animals or humans

The suffix 'osis' means morbid
state, disease, abnormal increase

Para bio osis means the union of two individuals, as conjoined twins, or of experimental animals by surgical operation

yoo this video reminded me of the wilder experiments i had to study for a course on developmental biology. For example the Spemann–Mangold experiment where Mangold transplanted a small cluster of cells of a newt embreyo (dorsal lip) to belly of an other embreyo (mind at this stage both embreyos are like still orb shaped). This lead to the development of a second body on the belly of the newt tadpole
